CRNA/SRNA Alternates soundoff

badgernurse · Mar 9, 2006

Alternate at Franciscan Skemp. Probably little chance of getting called up at this point, the Freshman class had to pay initial fees already.

I was an alternate at Samford for about a month and a half until yesterday when I got "called up". I didn't think that they would call me, but they did. I start in June and can't wait!

I'm an alternate at Case. I got the letter about 5 weeks ago. They only accept 23 students. I have no idea where I am "in line " to be called. I considered emailing the program director to see when the deadline for the accepted students fees is. My future is hanging in the balance:(

I was an alternate at the University of New England (UNE) for about 2 weeks before I got "called up."

Not true. I paid a deposit at the first school I was accepted to (tight deadline). I ate the $300 when I was accepted to my preferred program.

Samford Nurse Anesthesia Grad, Class of 2005

zagWV · Mar 10, 2006

CAMC took 26 total for this class. (3 from Nov 05 selection. 9 confirmed alternates from last year)....do not know how many alternates they took this year. Last year they took 10 alternates. They had fewer applicants this year than in the past due to the new program at Mountain State University in Beckley.

I am an alternate at WFUBMC. I received my letter at the end of Dec. I have know idea how many alternates they have chosen. I know that they have already "called up" two alternates thus far. It does make you feel like you really don't know what to do. I spoke with the assistant director of the program and she said alternates can be called all the way into Aug (the month the program starts!) Good Luck to all of you and I hope you hear something soon!!!

I'm the fifth alternate at Newman university in Kansas. They only accept 12 students so It's a looooong shot to get called up when I'm fifth in line.

I'm not holding my breath...already sent off two more applications. Wish me luck.

Was offered a spot at the first interview I attended, this was two months after the interview!!! So there is still hope.........................I however, was accepted elsewhere in the interim!!! Good Luck!!
