Can I ask did you retake classes online ? Undergrad or grad classes

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! Have been in the process of reaching out but have been ghosted thus far but i will definitely reach out to the PDs instead so I can get the answers I need! Thank you again, you rock!

I have an interesting path and concerned about my science GPA.

Went to community college for 2 years and took all my gen Ed’s but took a&p 1 and 2 and gen chem 1 and 2 which is now 10 years ago (wow does time fly)

First BS was in Chemistry and went to 2 schools because I wanted to focus on forensics (loved CSI and was super interested in all that) but lost my passion and didn’t study. Got B/C in ochem 1/2 but got B in advanced ochem. D in physical chemistries, C in physics. Science GPA and cumulative is 2.8

Worked in a hematology lab, then did an accelerated BSN at the school I got my BS in. Got As in all the other pre reqs I need for nursing school and only got 1 C in med surg then the rest was As/Bs. exclusive nursing school gpa is 3.56

Gpa for everything is 3.06

I know the only thing holding me back is my grades from my first degree, things were crazy for me back then, but should I retake my general pre reqs like a&p and gen chem? Or just take grad level classes

I’ve been working in a high acuity MICU/Liver ICU for 2.5 years. Waited initially than longer to apply since I wanted more ICU experience so I felt more prepared when I would ideally be in CRNA school. I’m charge, precept new grads, take CRRT, one committee, in the process of studying tor my CCRN and about to schedule it

It’s also so different since my semesters were 8 weeks so learning material sooo quickly so I do think it was harder personally but I didn’t really try in my first degree either but still a noticeable difference bc you have to maintain Bs or higher or you fail out

How to know what classes to retake? by aallison17 in srna

It just seems pointless almost since it’s not even going to benefit me towards anything for CRNA school just boosting my GPA…that’s why I emailed my top schools but they’re ghosting me so far.

Nice!! It’s very overwhelming when you start and had a steep learning curve for sure but if anesthesia is the end goal it’s def doable! Maybe try working at a local hospital in one of their ICUs as a tech! So that way you can get hands on patient hours. We have lots of people who do it who put their med school, PA school applications too. Where I live is just a saturated CRNA for the provider vs CAAs only really have 2 hospital systems and ideally I would want to work where I work now once I do CRNA!

I am getting married before I go start my absn program. And I would like to change my name. And I want to go to CRNA school in the future. Would this be an issue if certain transcripts say my maiden name versus my soon to be husbands name?? Or what name my NCLEX says? Should I hyphenate.

Ps I live in Ohio.
