Arkansas State University 2020 CRNA

[ICURN9876]

Hello all! I haven't seen a thread for the Arkansas State CRNA program that starts in January of 2020. I've sent in my application and have been reading (and re-reading) old A-State CRNA threads about the interview process and all that so I thought we could start one for this cohort!

Thank you both so much! I was having the darndest time finding anything about the doctorate program and course of study, just the masters, but this really helps. The ASU does have an amazing price, which is why it drew so much attention. Even out of state isn't that bad, at 177% instead of 200%+. Still would want to become a resident first while saving money and getting more ICU experience. Thanks again!

Hey guys ! Good luck in your application process, I wish you all get in . If anyone needs to rent a room male or female , 420/month furnished includes all utility steps away from the school , in a nice gated community. Shoot me a message . I am moving to Memphis for clinicals and letting go of my place .

Is it a one bedroom apt? Are we just taking over your lease? $420 plus the ASU tuition is starting to sound more and more enticing.

My ex just graduated from ASU. She said they are planning to start the DNP in Summer 21 according to the director. They fully intend on the DNP program being approved by then, and don't plan on a January start date ?. I copied and pasted what's on their website. It's the DNP schedule. Hope it helps someone out. Wish I would've known about this program last year - it's very cheap. Good Luck!

Hi 123, Did your ex like the program? Were the teachers supportive? Any info can share would be helpful.

It’s a 4 bedroom 4 bath . You would be taking over my lease . My roommate is also moving to memphis and I believe 3 out of the 4 bedroom will become available In January, so 3 ppl from the program could room together and study together . The 4 th roommate, she is super quiet and always in her room .
