Columbia CRNA 2020

Updated:   Published

Hello all,

I wanted to start a thread for any perspective applicants for Columbia's Anesthesia program for 2020. I submitted my application last week and wanted to hear if anyone was called for interviews yet.

My stats: ADN 3.7 BSN 4.0 CCRN, CMC, CRNI, BLS/ACLS instructor, recently promoted to unit clinician. 2.5 years of Cardiac ICU in a large level 1 teaching hospital. (of note: went to school close to 10 years and have poor grades)

Good luck to everyone!

Did you email them asking for an update or did they email you on their own?

I got one too. Listen, there is always next year. Next year is the last year for the MSN program. Look on the bright side, we have another year to save. Good luck to those who are interview. ?

To those who got interview invites... how many years of critical care experience do you have ?

just curious !

I have a little over 2 years experience. I’m fairly certain Dr. Massie mentioned at the interviews that they got a good amount of applicants this year, and were only able to interview candidates with 2 or more years of nursing experience. Can anyone else who interviewed confirm this?

Specializes in CCRN, CMC, CRNI.

The cohort I interviewed had 10 people in it. I had the least amount of experience, at about 2.5 years. The others had between 4-10.
