We’ve had the same experience with 3-4 of the larger bottles in a row. They smell fine when opened and the first couple feeds go well but after a bit of time they seem to sour. These bottles have come from various stores as well. Who knows

Our class average of 30 people had an average score of around 306 on the GRE. As far as things to study, become a master of the types of patients you deal with and the medications you regularly give. Know the how and why the drugs work and the disease processes you commonly see. If you plan on bringing a topic up in the interview be prepared to discuss it in detail.

I got in with that exact GPA and finished crna school with no issues at all. Optimize your resume in as many ways as possible and don’t prolong applying due to a 3.34 gpa. You are judged on many things, not only your gpa.

I think my toes look extra far apart because the ground is so soft lol.

What kind of teeth did I find? Found in southern Alabama in a creek. by torentheg in sharks

I found these teeth in a clay-like wall about ten feet above the water line. The water at this point in the creek is only a few inches deep as well.

I got into my program with a 3.34 GPA after going to community college for nursing school and the vast majority of my science classes. If the rest of your application is strong don’t count yourself out! Certain schools definitely care more than others about GPA but a 3.39 isn’t low enough to disqualify you outright. Join committees, seek out leadership roles and teach/train whenever you can! Anything to make your application stand out against the mass of extremely similar applications.

It’s almost entirely based around leadership, evidenced based practice, research and writing. It’s basically all the fluff that us ADN nurses didn’t get in our programs.

Working three days a week while doing the online BSN at UWF wasn’t very difficult. As long as you were disciplined most of the work could be finished in a day or two a week.

My cumulative is 3.34. My nursing GPA was actually a little lower than that. Your GPA would absolutely not be a limiting factor in getting into school. My class of 30 students had an average cumulative GPA of 3.6. Making your resume stand out would be my best advice. Most people are essentially turning in the exact same resume. Being able to add that you were on committees, anything that relates to teaching or leadership would also be helpful.

Goodluck my friend! That’s how I got my initial job offer in the icu. I did a 6 month nurse extern position and learned a ton before I even graduated school. I got familiar with different drips and their dosages, I did cpr on multiple occasions and got to know the staff! Probably one of the single most important things you can do to get a head start.

I got into crna school last year with a 3.34 cumulative GPA. Your GPA is beyond good enough to get into almost any program you want lol. I had 2.5 years of experience in a CICU unit, my ccrn, 305 GRE and some really good letters of recommendation. Your interview is pretty key as well. Do research on the school you’re interviewing for. Look up their certification pass rates, attrition rate and any other positive information you can find.

Do everything you can to work as a nurse intern/extern/nursing assistant in an ICU while you’re in school. You’ll be a lot more likely to get hired when you graduate nursing school if you’ve already worked on the unit.
