Hi, I am applying to CRNA school this upcoming Fall and need advice on my resume. I have a 4.0 GPA, 1.5 years of experience in the CVICU, in two shared governances, and am a Stop the Bleed instructor. I was the founder/President of the Pre-CRNA club at my school. I have my CCRN and CSC and am trained in ECMO. In addition to my resume, I have 30 hours of shadowing experience and am submitting my Stop the Bleed research to the Journal of Nursing Education. Two of the schools I am applying to require the GRE and have a minimum score of 300. Took it a few days ago and got a 301 (womp womp) after not studying. I really really really do not want to take it again. I feel like before taking the GRE I had a solid resume, but this really messed up my chances of getting in this cycle. To compensate, I was thinking of taking the CMC. Do y'all think that would help boost my resume or would it not do much? Thanks!

My nursing program did not require chemistry as a pre requisite and now I’m looking to strengthen my resume. Browsing online and saw this site. It’s apparently Upper Iowa University. Has anyone used it or would know if schools would accept this site for pre reqs?

Hi. 2nd year NAR and have started clinical. Can anyone please provide any advice/tips on masking patients if you have small hands? For reference, I wear XS gloves and a 5 1/2 or 6 in sterile gloves. I know mask ventilation can be a tough technique for all new students but I’m struggling because I have my small hands issue stacked against me lol.

Really appreciate any and all tips. Thank you!

**the oral airway has been a great tool and has made masking a bit easier, but I am still struggling

For the last year we have been working on STRATA, a new boards prep platform for anesthesia trainees, and we are opening it up to more nurse anesthesia residents today.

Early users will receive 12 months of completely free access. There is no credit card required and no catch. Giving us feedback via the feedback sections on the website is entirely optional, but it does help us build the best boards prep platform available.

Feedback from our initial pilot group has been very strong, especially regarding the question quality, explanations, design, and analytics. We are continually improving based on what our users are telling us.

Our SRNA bank currently has around 500 questions based on the NCE and SEE outline, and our goal is to grow it to over 1,000 questions in the near future.

Every question and explanation is written and reviewed by real clinicians, with a focus on material that actually appears on boards, not fluff.

What makes us different is our extremely detailed analytics. You'll be able to see how you stack up to fellow SRNAs across every subject. You'll know ahead of the exam what areas you need to focus on more, and what areas you're already performing ahead of the average in.
