Interview at KU in 1wk

Zero1979 · Nov 3, 2008

Hey, at the risk of helping the competition, my interview at KU was October 24th, and I can tell you exactly what to expect, or at least, what happened to me.

They will give you a written essay question, with 10 minutes to respond. My question involved a post-op patient from PACU with a BP in the 80's, O2 sat of 91, and RR of 8. The patient was moaning and saying they were in pain. The question specified that you have a PRN order for morphine, and asked you what your priorities were.

After this came the interviews with Academic, Clinical, and two senior students, in no particular order. It was basically a big personality test, and I was asked why I wanted to be a CRNA, what qualities about myself I thought would help me, what I did in my off time to manage stress, and if I had a support system of some kind.

Then came the tour. And they had snacks.

Thank you much for the details, I truly appreciate your kind assistance. Those personality interviews are the hardest since you leave the interview not knowing if you have what they are looking for. Thanks for the tips
