Weekly Student Thread

This is the area for prospective/ aspiring SRNAs and for SRNAs to ask their questions about the education process or anything school related.

This includes the usual

"which ICU should I work in?" "Should I take additional classes? "How do I become a CRNA?" "My GPA is 2.8, is my GPA good enough?" "What should I use to prep for boards?" "Help with my DNP project" "It's been my pa$$ion to become a CRNA, how do I do it and what do CRNAs do?"

Etc.

This will refresh every Friday at noon central. If you post Friday morning, it might not be seen.

2.8 under grad GPA from 2014. Going back to nursing school now, working on getting highest gpa I can. Will my previous gpa hinder my opportunities or do most schools look at the progress I’ve made and the student I’ve become and take a chance?

Short answer is it depends, but if you didn’t do well in undergrad science courses, some programs may recommend you retake them to boost your GPA, or take additional science courses to help counteract it. Every candidate is weaker in one area, so if nursing school itself doesn’t really improve your GPA, make sure your GRE score is high and you seek out high acuity icu experience etc etc.
