    Hi Rocco, I will have to move closer to the metro sometime before May. I have family in the area and would like to find something in the Burnsville area (W or SW suburbs). Looks like you're out in Cali! You may luck out, we've had some very mild ...

    Go2sleep, Congrats on the wait list spot! They wait list 10, and last year they pulled in all 10 off the list. The interviewer told me they usually take in 4-5, but last year they all came in. I imagine in this economy people's plans are changing....

    I got a letter telling me that wasn't chosen for an interview, about two weeks ago... If you haven't heard anything yet, it may be a good thing. I believe they usually are finished interviewing and make the acceptance decisions in early Feb. If I ...

  12. University of Minnesota DNP/CRNA Program

    Hello, I did apply to MSA and the U of MN last year, but didn't get interviews. I plan on applying to MSA again this year, but have also been holding out to see if I get good news from the U! I have been a nurse for four years, two years OR/PACU an...
