Albany CRNA program

Published

Hi I have an interview in February for Albany CRNA program. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on the interview process. Also if there are any current or past students, how do you like the program? How did you choose Albany? How soon after the interview do you hear back of a decision? Thanks for any information!

I have been a nurse for 6 years. Started working in a Level 1 ER for 4 years, now have almost 2 years of SICU experience at another Level 1 trauma hospital (currently charge RN). I have my CCRN, CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse). I took and Intro to Organic and biochemistry course through Iowa Centra Community College and just passed with an A. I have volunteered throughout the past few years with different running racing events as a medical volunteer. Biggest thing that I think my resume is deficient in is my lack of hospital involvement. I always have worked so much overtime that I never really got involved in councils, so would suggest doing some of that.

Is there any notable drawbacks of Albany being a medical college? Are med students given priority?
