Barry University CRNA interview

Published

I have an interview with Barry University in Florida on May 11, 2009 for their CRNA program and I am extremely nervous and I really do not know what to expect. Has anyone gone through the interview process? What types of questions do they ask? What type of content is on the test that they administer? Roughly how soon after the interview do you find out if you are accepted? Anyone's input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok...so very basic! Got it...I know nurses have a habit of reading into questions (which is what I was afraid that I'd do), so that's why I was wondering HOW basic, but cardiac output is pretty straight forward, huh?!? I'm signed up for chem starting next week (interview is aug 3rd) so maybe I can get a couple of those right! :)

I really appreciate your help!!! I'll keep you updated on how it goes!

Hi, here is the info. I want to share with you about today's interview in Barry. Basically, nothing worth stressful. Directors are very friendly. Questions are generic, like "why you want to be CRNAs?" Test is very easy. Because I have taken organic chem I and II, I have no problems with that. One of the questions is about the organic nomenclature. How to name a organic compound something like that. Just relax, be yourself, and you will be absolutely OK. - nancy

That's awesome! I'm so excited it went well for you! I'm in o-chem right now so it's definitely fresh!! :) I have everything lined up to go...air, hotel, car! Did you interview in Miami? Did they say if any of the satellite locations were already full?

Thanks! amanda

Amanda,

It looks like they still have spots available in Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. Do you have any preference? I chose Orlando because it will be much closer to church. (I am living somewhere between Tampa and Orlando). Where are you coming from? I received an email from them on the 2nd day that I am admitted to the program. I am hoping that I will see you in the class too. Just relax, you will be OK. Please plan plenty of time to drive to the campus because there were 2 nurses showing up one hour late because of the construction on I-95. I seldom check allnurses forum and sometimes the notification of thread will go to the Junk Mail. Let me know the interview's outcome.

Good luck, keep in touch - Nancy

I already am in the class now. They will give you a chemistry test and something about critical care quiz + interview. Very informal. Take it easy.
