- Feb 28, '11 by medic7577If you check out www.*allnurses.com CRNA forum*, you'll should be able to make some contacts and find out more info. I do know that there is at least one student there. Sounds like an excellent program.
later,

EDITED: Please don't include web site links. Thanks. traumarus - Mar 1, '11 by medic7577Well, I was just trying to help 1980 out by putting them in touch with someone that I know for sure is in that program since he/she had not gotten a response as of yet.
1980, the link in my above post is not the link that I put in my original response...it was changed somehow, but since I apparently cannot put links in my posts, google nurse anesthesia and hopefully you can find the link I was referring to in the original version of my initial post, you'll know it when you see it. There you can get in touch with a current SRNA at Samford and hopefully get the information you are seeking.
Good Luck!

Apr 30, '11 by CCU-RN3Can you tell me about the interview process at Samford? Do you know how many are typically interviewed and how many are accepted? - May 3, '11 by AbeFrohmanabout 20-25 accepted, 50-60 interview, about 100 apply.
The interview process is laid back, mostly get to know you stuff. They take your various different GPAs, GRE score, years of experience, and assign them a numerical value. Subjective points are given to LORs and interview, and bonus points are given for leadership, volunteering, and graduate level courses. Those with the highest score get in.
There will be five separate interviews with different faculty. One is a guy who will clinically quiz you until you miss a question (questions based on your previous experience) and will inevitably say "You're level of knowledge is about average and is right here [insert low to ground hand gesture] and we are you going to put you here [insert hand gesture over head]." This is told to everyone basically.
