CRNA University of Miami starting 2021

Published

Hey everyone, I have started a thread for the 2021 CRNA cohort at the University of Miami. I could not seem to find one for this application cycle.

I have just applied and am hoping I get an interview.

Sorry, wrong group.

Hello!

Has anybody been chosen off the waitlist?

Mayabelle, I emailed Casey who is an admin rep and she said they usually start going through waitlist late fall but the program starts in Jan so I don't know how they can wait that long. I also heard they've had some layoffs and furloughs so they're working with a skeleton crew so everything is moving slower than usual.

First, I googled “CRNA school interview questions” and kind of got a feel of possibilities they can ask. I used the Barron’s CCRN review book. They ask to describe a challenging/typical patient. I chose Septic shock, so I went on that chapter and studied that. Make sure you know all about the disease process, drips, doses, etc. I made sure I knew all the pressors, receptors they work on, etc. My interview was a mix of clinical and personality/personal questions. 
I was asked what I was thinking about doing for my capstone project, which took me by surprise and I fumbled through that answer so have an idea for that, in case that comes up.

@RN0123

It's important to be able to talk about yourself on a personal level. Know your resume well as this is a guide for conversation. Know your specialty as far as gtts, devices, complications, typical patients, or difficult ones. Lastly & most importantly, know you're why behind going into Anesthesia & choosing a DNP. Be confident/concise but humble. Cheers

Thank you so much for feedback, this is going to help me a lot in studying ! I’m going to start studying now. Currently studying to pass CCRN exam. I have pediatric background so I don’t have much adult experience ... do you think will they ask me about adult drops etc?
