Im very excited to find this site. My name is Chona and I'm in the hiring process right now for LAC+USC and will eventually start at MICU. I have research a few sites about Nurse Anesthetist programs and i get cold hands by the excitement that it makes me feel! I wanted to ask you a lot of things! And given that you will notice this message of mine THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Hopefully I will hear from you soon. A simple background of myself, I graduated 2006 with my BSN from the PHilippines, just got here March of this year, passed my NCLEX-RNthis October 28, 2008. I know that i have a long way to go but i wanted to do it the right way. I know that i need at least a year of experience in ICU but i think i will get more than that and to save money at the same time. I have bumped into few SRNA and CRNA who have their nursing degree from a foreign county and it seems like its harder for them. I come to a point of thinking on entering into an NP or CNS program first, then apply to CRNA so just to make my transcripts or "me as a whole" a desirable candidate. I dont have a great GPA just 3.28 i have it translated to US GPA. And I would love to enter USC too if given a chance. I talked to one of the admission personnel in there and she said that i can contact the program director and shadow a CRNA. But i felt like i wanted to have all my credentials readied like pre-reqs sciences which btw i already have it allbut i wanted to retake them here , experience, gre, certifications etc. Sorry this turned out to be a long post , i just felt so excited that right now i guess my mind is running around thinking on how to do the right thing so i can get in to the program someday. Thank you for your patience reading this and hope to hear from you soon. --Chona Hi David! Im very excited to find this site.
