so what are my chances?

[nancynurse]

Hi All,
I'm currently applying for CRNA school in the Northeast and am seeking feedback on my chances based on my atypical nursing career so far.

I have 6 years of total nursing experience after receiving my BSN in 2006
2006-2008- 2 years high acuity academic medical center CCU / MICU
2009- hospice case manager
2010-2011- med surg nursing
Nov 2011 to present- back in ICU at community hospital

3.5 GPA
1300 GRE

PALS and ACLS
numerous international volunteering as RN
shadowed 2 CRNAs

Just looking for opinions about how competitive I am... I realize my experiences are not those of the typical applicant...
Thanks for your input!

pretty competitive. Northeast is a good school. Talk to Steve Alves about your goals in the program and in your potential career as a CRNA....he's running for AANA President and has always supported extra circulars....which it looks like you have.

I'd take you over some 1-year wonder in a heartbeat.

I am applying in the northeast, but Northeastern U is one of the schools I'm applying to. Also applying to Boston College, New Britain School of NA, and Hospital of San Raphael.
As for what I think- I think I'm competitive and although I haven't taken the straight path I'm serious and passionate about becoming a CRNA.

Then nothing else matters.

Go for it & don't worry about anyone else's opinion. You'll do great.

Looks like you're doing a great job! :)

its competitive enough to get an interview at most, if not all, places you apply. From there it depends if the people making the decision believe you will be a good fit with them or not. But i would expect you to get in to maybe 3 out of 5 schools applied to.. obviously that is a rough guess and many variables go into that, but I'm a betting man and i'll stick with that number :)
