SRNA drop out rates

Published

To all the current SRNA and CRNAs, what is the average drop out rate for your program. I plan on attending Barry university in Miami in the next few years and have heard there is a 10% drop out rate. Is this high, average? What are the common reasons for drop out? Too stressful or hard? Thanks!

The first day of classes I asked our program director what is the top reason someone doesn't make it through the program.

#1--Personal problems--divorce, non-supportive family, injuries, etc.

#2--Lack of desire

#3--Decide it's not what they thought it was, don't really want it.

We've lost 4 out of a class of 68. 1 had a bad car wreck on the way home for Christmas holidays. (she starts back in August)

1 hurt her neck from carrying books and missed a few classes but is starting back in August.

The other 2 had multiple factors. As far as I know all 4 had good grades.

My take on it personally is,,,,,,,,Desire will take you a lot of places!!!!!!

Family support is very important...At our house it's a team effort because we have children and all the bills (house pmt, power, water, phone, etc.)

I am about to enter my third month of clinicals, got a long way to go, but it is a great job.......Praise the Lord that I am where I am........

Hello. I start at Barry in January. I have a question about the books. Did you have to buy all the suggested books, are they all really needed?. Also, I'm planning on going to either Tampa or Orlando. I would like to hear some comments about the clinical sites.

Thanks

Orlando
