Texas Wesleyan CRNA Interview helllppp!

bibibi · Dec 5, 2014

They will ask you clinical questions during your interview. There will be a test too. You don't have to know all the answers. Answer what you know and if you don't know it say so. They know that some of the questions are above your level. They want to see how good your reasoning is.

Hello everyone! My interview for Texas Wesleyan's CRNA program is a little more than a month away. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or study materials/suggestions? Anything is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Questions are based specifically on your patient demographic you are used to. As stated above, they will ask you questions you won't know. They are looking for an opportunity to work you through a problem to see what your thought process is like. My only advice would be to study your meds and be prepared to talk in pretty good depth about the MOAs of the medicines you see most often in your unit

I just had my interview at Texas Wesleyan and got accepted. Don't get to confident with you demographic patient, I work at a cardiac specific unit and all my interview was about neuro. Make sure you know everything (CCRN) They want to know if you know why you are doing specific interventions. Like they will ask you a question and you can answer the right answer but they will answer you back with "Why?", if the chem teacher is in the panel then he will ask you one or two simple chem questions. Just make sure if you don't know the answer don't BS them. They are super smart!! They know you don't know everything but want to see your thought process and how you are able to answer under pressure. Remember you got this, you have worked hard and you already have an interview so they are interested in you. Good Luck!!

Interviews are a little different then because I work in a CVICU and every question was CV related until I mentioned I weaned my own vents then it took a sharp turn into PEEP and ABGs. But, as stated here, it is very CCRN based so go in being prepared for CCRN type questions. Good luck

I actually interviewed here as well as a few other schools. To be honest, this was the only school that actually tested me on hypothetical clinical situations. I found it to be odd considering it was a private school, and I more than met the qualifications. Funny thing was, they never told me if I "passed" there tests/questions - just said I was accepted. I ended up going elsewhere because I didn't like there clinical set up, but wasn't a crazy-hard test either. Just ICU basics really plus some CCRN stuff. If you have your heart set on this school, I would brush up on/ obtain your CCRN first (or at very least buy/borrow the Kaplan CCRN prep book). Hope this helps!

Hey everyone I am going to Texas Wesleyan in the Fall of 2015. Very excited! Like others said above, I had just passed my ccrn so am sure that was helpful, but a lot of the questions you should be able to answer because it is concerning things that you do in the icu everyday. I worked in a peds open heart icu, so I elaborated on my patient population a good bit. Just know your drugs and your talk through your thought process if you do not know an answer. I personally think that if you can talk through an answer intelligently that you will be given a decent score for the question (there were a few I talked my thought process through) You got this! Best of luck!
