Marian University (MU) CRNA 2024 Start

Published

Just wanted to start a thread for Marian University CRNA program hopefuls to help share information. I applied a few weeks ago and got an email saying the application is with the admissions committee and to expect an email about a potential interview in the next 4 weeks.  Good luck everyone!

Students said last year it was almost Christmas.  They said in the interview, they are hoping to notify those accepted by Thanksgiving.

Thanks!

How did everyone do on the exam? 

What were the questions like? Were they hardcore or more straightforward?

Besides the test, during the interview did they take into consideration your background when asking clinical questions?

I would say they did. My background is ER and flight so they asked what kind of patients I normally took care of and they asked clinical questions based off the experience I was told them about. I would be ready for some uncomfortable questions. I am hoping they do that in order to see how you react under stress. The first question they asked me was "tell us about your ICU experience" so I kindly had to say I didn't have formal ICU experience and then try to spin it to show the acuity of patients I take care of on a daily basis. If there is a weakness in your resume they will probably find it and ask you about it.

I experienced the same.  They first asked about what type of experience I had, then the type of patients I took care of, and then asked questions based on that with some higher level questions thrown in.  Lots of EI questions as well.  Overall, I felt it was a positive experience.

I interviewed last Friday (10/27) and just found out yesterday (10/31) that I got in! I was expecting to wait until December so for those who have interviewed so far, it may be sooner than you think!
