FSU-PCB Nurse Anesthesia interview 2016

[NeuroJani]

Hi,

I recently applied to the nurse anesthesia program at FSU. I was invited for an interview in January. I would like any tips or guidance on what to expect during the interview. I head clinical style questions, medications, and get-to know you type of questions.

All responses will be appreciated.

I also got my acceptance email earlier this evening.

Congrats to those who have been accepted. I called today and spoke with the program coordinator. She stated she did now know when acceptance or denial info would be given. She stated that the program director was out of town today until next week. Did anyone else get acceptance letters today? I have not heard anything one way or the other yet.

I was interviewed as well but didn't receive any email. Another applicant called today and they say by tomorrow they'll be sending emails out.

Congrats to those who have been accepted!! Would any of you mind sharing your "stats" with us other future hopefuls? Looking to apply next cycle and just wanting to see if I'll even be competitive with my "stats".

Wow, that's great Hs236191! Thank you for the response. So do you have a certain amount of time before you accept or pay a deposit to hold your spot or do they do that?

7years ICU (level one truma, cvicu, surgical ICU, general ICU) 307 3.5 gre GPA 3.4, preceptor and on unit committees. I was wait liated. My advice would be if your science grades are c/b's I would retake them.

I think they base a lot off the interview

Who has all been accepted? It would be nice to connect with each other.

Congrats to everyone accepted, I'll be starting August 2016 as well. If anyone wants to connect/prepare beforehand just shoot me a message. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hey everyone, I also got accepted for the FSU CRNA class of 2018!! I'd like to connect with others who have been accepted too, possibly make a fb group?

On a different notion; Is anybody that got accepted concerned that FSU is a new program (although the Gooding Institute was an established program in which FSU bought out) and might have some transitional kinks? Also that FSU doesn't have a simulation lab? Any feedback will help.
