Help! Applying to CRNA School


Hey Everyone, I am an RN, BSN currently working in SICU for almost 2 years and am now training in open heart ICU (only to help better prepare myself for school). I am now applying to two schools and am wondering what to prepare for re: interviews, how much experience do I REALLY need, what kind of questions do they ask in the interviews? Thanx

Hello,

I put together my thoughts on my interview with Georgetown in an earlier post, you should probably read that.

Beyond that,The more experience the better, two years should be enough if it is well rounded. Read some of wintermutes thoughts on this, he just started his program and has a good idea of whats good experience.

As far as interview questions, I can tell you that mine was not very clinical. There were a few questions that were obviously asked to see if I was familiar with ICU practice. Mostly though they were concerned with my motivations, how much thought and preperation I have had put into applying.

If you have more specific questions, please feel free to contact me.
