  1. FGCU CRNA 2018

    Just as an FYI, I interviewed there a couple years ago. Was one of the more laid back interviews I had. Was no clinical questions. Pretty much a get to know you and why you want to do be a CRNA...
  2. First Bachelor Gpa or 2nd Bachelor Gpa?

    I had a similar situation deciding if CRNA would even be an option for me. I had a 3.6 Biology degree. Went to 1 year med school and was having health problems that made it difficult during first...
  3. CRNA applicant

    program director was looking for very specific things.... dont remember exactly but I didnt 100% meet requirements they wanted.... and they were already 1 of too many schools that I applied to so I...
  4. CRNA school question

    Little biased in that I had a degree in Biology and minor in Chemistry before I went into nursing.... but the chemistry understanding required is less than my first chemistry college class. I still...
  5. CRNA applicant

    The program director when I applied a couple years ago at ECU was very open to discussing application and specifics that they were looking for including recommendations to making a application...

  9. Dont let us news and report or whatever you saw for rankings fool you. There is little those rankings are based on. Look for a program that fits YOU best when you are ready to apply. The application...
  10. Lots of good answers already but I doubt the job description specifically says you must be able to perform chest compressions. You can still lift 40lbs I imagine like many nursing jobs will say but...
  11. A couple of questions!

    PICU, NICU, ER, PACU all acceptable at a couple schools but its looked the experience may still be criticized by even the schools that take it. Traditional adult ICU (really any type) is the only safe...
  12. Good enough GPA, now don't worry about it. Go get a job and and look to progress to an ICU since few are lucky enough to start in the ICU. It's great to have goals but sometimes things change. I...
  13. larger facility, level 1 will all lead to sicker patients and better experiences for admission to school. Work environment will be tougher but just get through
  14. Neuro ICU vs. Transplant ICU for CRNA School

    Neuro is a pretty pigeonholed specialty with very minimal conditions and comorbidites. Sure you get to see lots of cool stuff, but overall exposure to other aspects of medicine are limited compared to...
  15. Need Finance Advice

    ER scribe in ideal world but can be hard to get. At my previous hospital almost every scribe was on way to nursing, respiratory, or MD. Great experience and you learn a
