H! I was accepted to the Georgetown CRNA program. I am out of the country this summer and wanted to get my ducks in a row before leaving. Can any current students me out or any new students that ere just accepted help shed some light on my quest...

yep, I took the UNE chem 1010 as a pre-req to my CNRA program that I'm starting this fall and it was difficult! I pretty much studied an average of 10-14 hours a week to get an A. I thought I was going to be one of those classes that I crammed for ...

Thanks for the info! The paycheck is nice, but I'm more excited about anesthesia in general. Working my whole career in acute care and surgery as a NP has taught me a lot....but I'm excited to focus on anesthesia now. Thanks for all the advice!

Hello, I need help....I am a NP which 5 years of acute care experience with a great hospital. I applied to an amazing CRNA program...got in and put in my notice at my job for July 8th. The reason I decided to go the CRNA route is better pay and bett...

I already got into a CRNA program, I start this August. I want both NP and CRNA, more options. Thanks for all your input!

Thanks for the advice.....I totally agree more student loans sucks...but will be worth it.

Thanks for the advice....I turned down the job. It was 40 hours a week plus required OT whenever they need me to finish a case...plus call every 4th night....averaging 2-3 hearts a day. Impossible to know if I can pick up my kid from day care. I'm...

Thanks for the input...to clairfy i would be making a good salary as a NP/RNFA but working long hours 40 hours put OT and call...

I would just be in CT surgery. No admitting/H&P's.....Yeah I'm just afraid I'll be treated like a RNFA and work up to 80 hours a week in OT and call. CRNA seems more up my alley but more loans. Thanks for the input.

Hey, did you hear back from Georgetown?

Thanks, I'm pretty sure they haven't reached out to people for interviews yet. I applied by Sept 1, and didn't hear back until end of October...and didn't interview till Nov. So I'm pretty sure they are just taking their time....never fun to be wai...

I would call Georgetown. They haven't contacted a lot of people still...when did you submit your application? Good luck, let me know any questions you have.

So I think that's just one clinical question....and a very easy one at that :)

Sounds like they should be notifying you soon. I had two clinical questions. I am a NP and they asked me obviously why am I now deciding to become a CRNA. Also, they asked what would I do if a patient's 02 sats were dropping.....and when I made a...

Ok, I would call them and ask what the timing is for interviews and what not. Good luck!!!

Email and the second week of December :) are you going to GT as well?

which program are you starting?

I'll be 32 this fall when I start 21 for BSN, 27 for NP-MSN now 32 for CRNA. Ouch, student loans forever!!

Others may feel differently...I feel it's a waste of money. You can still use it on your resume.

Did anyone else get into the program? I'm trying to find a good contact person to ask about registration dates and an academic calendar. Has anyone else heard anything? I've paid my deposit, and now we just wait to hear from them....Just trying to ...

Hi! I am actually a FNP x 6 years and I will be starting my CRNA program in DC this fall. So, pretty much doing the opposite. :) I love being a NP....just kinda boring in the outpatient setting. I was an inpatient NP in Cali and it was awesome, but...

I was saying no to the question "have they made decisions for all the spots". No they have not. They have 2 rounds of applications. The early admission has past, and now there is the second round due January 15th. I'm sure there are still lots of spo...

No, only the initial round of applications. Early admission's deadline was sept 1st. It sounded like they will offer between 40-45 spots. I think 30 people interviewed this fall. You have to take into account people that decide to go to other pro...

ok great thanks!! I wanted to make sure the une chemistry is the correct one to take but I'm having a hard time hearing back from the admission's director.

I did, maybe call the admission's director and ask her to resend.
