TCU CRNA

[lkjoller]

Hi everyone!

I am a currently a ICU nurse at a Trauma 1 center in Fort Worth. Experience in ICU and ER and wanting to go to CRNA school at TCU. I got my BSN at TCU and want to continue being a frog! I was able to see all of the information regarding the program online but wanted to get more information for anyone who could share anything they knew!

Some specifics I was wondering about:

-Biology and chemistry courses needed (and do they need to be taken at a 4 year school and should they be done prior to applying)

- Shadow experiences

- CCRN prep courses

and really any other valuable information!

I would really appreciate your help!

I was recently accepted for the TCU CRNA program, you've chosen schools wisely. No biology courses needed, but organic chemistry is an important one. It didn't seem to matter that I took all my chemistry courses at a community college, but they should to be done prior to applying. A shadow experience, if not multiple shadow experiences, is an important aspect to your application. You will be questioned about this during the interview, it will also help clarify that this is the path you want to take in your career. CCRN prep courses are irrelevant when you have actually passed the CCRN exam, this is now required for all applicants at TCU. Best of luck.
