I just declined my interview invite and accepted at the University of Miami program so I hope that opens up an interview slot for someone on the waitlist! Good luck to everyone during their virtual interviews. Go kill it out there!

I have a random question. When admitted, does anyone know how much is the deposit to secure your seat?

Good luck at UM. I've heard really great things about their program. I'm not sure if you have an IG account, but if so, follow @SRNAtoCRNA. The page is run by a few of the current students and they are always posting their progress in the program.

When I was accepted to FIU's program in 2018 there was no required deposit to secure your seat. We signed a form and emailed it back to (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME). I'm not sure if that's changed in the last two years though.

Thanks. I have a question. What are the clinical sites? Also, are students paired in the OR or are you the only student on a particular case?

FIU is always working on getting new clinical sites, and they have done so recently. At the end of 2019 they began clinical at Broward General and Broward North. Recently, FIU secured Kendall Regional as a new clinical site, which is very exciting. FIU is also working on getting several other clinical sites. FIU has many clinical sites overall, but 3 are considered "home base" at this current time. Again, this info is always subject to change. Broward, Memorial, and Sinai are considered the "home bases." This means that your first 3 semesters of clinical take place at that location (semester 3, 4, and 5 of the program). Starting semester 6 you begin specialty rotations and these can take place a wide variety of hospitals (Memorial, Sinai, newly added Kendall, the VA, Miami children's, Baptist, Mercy, etc). All clinical placements are now being decided randomly to ensure everything is as fair as possible. As for whether or not students are paired in the OR...it just depends. Generally, the goal is for each student to be one on one in the OR; however, there are times where there may be 2 students in the OR at a time. Do not let this be discouraging. There is always something you can learn when you're in the OR regardless of whether or not there's 1 or two students in there. OR time is valuable no matter what the situation. I hope this helps. Any other questions feel free to ask.
