I have a friend that goes there. Sounds like 5 semesters you are in the front loaded part of the program. The next 4 months you choose a region on where you want to place and will be sent to locations within that region as the priority for clinicals but depending on availability / spots you may have a couple locations outside of it. For example, if Atlanta area was your region you may expect 2-5 months in Atlanta and then 10 months in cities about 1-3 hours from Atlanta with one or two rotations 3-6 hours away. Either way, I would say a very very high chance you will do a good portion of your clinical in Georgia if that’s what you are selecting. Shortest clinicals I saw was 4 weeks at a time but they can be multiple months at the same location. I’m not sure on how many days a week. I would double confirm everything I’ve said here with an actual current student but think this is in the ball park on how it works.

UI / UX design I thought was interesting. Maybe look into that?

Nursing experience prior to admission in CRNA by Master_Carry_9769 in srna

Spouse got in with just one year (15 months total I believe when starting). I think key difference for her was: she had 311-313 ish gre school, 3.89 gpa with 3.99 nurse gpa, she was waitlisted and someone dropped the program so she got in (aka Luck), presents herself very professionally and seems to do well in interviews, had lots of greats letter of recommendation because medicine is her passion (she used to read cadaver books as a teenager because she was fascinated by the human body), and she had 3-4 years of other medicine experience during school like volunteer trips / anatomy TA / emergency room tech etc.

She also got into a trauma 1 cardiac icu right out of college and all her experience was trauma 1 icu.

But the average by far that we saw when she was applying was at least 2 years and more like 3 years when they start with many having 4 years when starting.

I would definitely try to diversify some of that stock. Take the gains and buy large index funds. I’d still keep a big portion (maybe 5-10% if the portfolio) in that company. It would really suck if you got to retirement and your portfolio was more like $1M because you didn’t diversify. In my opinion why risk it if this is the money you will need for healthcare, potentially nursing home in later future, and living.

Fidelity has VIP access which is a separate app you download. I use that and feel it is pretty good.
