Kaiser anesthesia (kpsan) 2018

I believe the new curriculum will be front loaded with the DNP classes in the first few semesters while most of the clinical requirements will be completed in the last couple years. This info is based on the sample study plan I saw back in December that I can no longer find on KPSA website.

Good luck to all who have interviews this week!

Thanks Hearts_ICURNBSN!

Is everyone's interview Thursday or Friday?

My interview is tomorrow !

When is yours @rckt?

Good luck @Hearts_ICURNBSN! How exciting! Mine is on Friday. I'm curious to know some of the changes they are making (i.e. class size, number of interviews). Let us know how it goes if you get the chance! Good luck again :)

Good luck @Hearts_ICURNBSN!

oops, that was an error. My interview is on Thursday! not tomorrow. Good luck to you all as well! Stay updated!

How did everyone's interviews go?

How did everyone's interviews go?

It didn't go bad, but after a few days of reflecting it could have gone a lot better. I don't think I did anything to make myself standout unfortunately. I'm not keeping my hopes up for an acceptance letter. But I'll definitely be applying again next year.

Hi, my interview was Thursday. I felt it went well, but definitely there is room for improvement. Do you know when will we hear back from them? I forgot what they said. Thanks.

I feel like everyone wishes they would have done or said something differently after running the scenario in their head. I thought my panel interview went well. It was really nice that they offered feedback. I am wondering how the other parts of the interview will contribute to the decision as well. They told my group that they would be having a meeting on the 22nd, so we should find out after that.

Good luck to everyone!

I truly appreciated how welcoming they were. It was so nice to feel like they appreciated us and praised us for coming so far in the process. I absolutely loved that. I feel like I could have added a lot more to my answers but otherwise felt the interview went well. They mentioned a meeting on the 22nd as well but I'm not sure why that is holding up anything, I can't remember if they said or not. After stocking all the posts from past years it looks like answers were given out 10 days after interviews but the Doctorate program obviously changed a lot. Good luck to everyone, please post with any news!
