My ex gf from high school had a brother in law that went there. I don't know much about it, but it's near Nashville, seems pretty decent. It looks like it's a Christian school from their website, and they might even incorporate Christian values in their teachings. Check out the site.

Yes I have heard of it; it is a seventh day adventist based program and they do incorporate a few religious classes in the cirriculum. I thought about applying there but I decided against it because I read that if you receive an acceptance letter you must pay a non-refundable $3,500 deposit to hold your spot, which goes towards your first semester's tuition. Personally, there are a couple of other programs that would be in a more convenient location for me so I decided not to apply there.

Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia (MTSA) has a great program. It is christian based and does require taking a religious course, however, you are awarded a MS and not MSN which MSN requires taking extra nursing fluff courses like nursing theory etc. We pray before class with a 15min devotional. The staff and people in the community are very nice and encouraging. Unlike the schools near where I was from, they actually want you to be successful and will help you however you need it.

Most students will have well over a 1000 cases- twice as many as some programs. Clinicals start very early-in only 1.5 months into the program. Also, the school is a stand alone institution not tied to the policies of one hospital such as a hospital based school or a large college which allows independent decisions of the anesthesia based board.

The school is currently going through the COA renewal accredidation process and is not on probation. I encourage you to contact the school and investigate it further. Their website provides a lot of information including the student handbook.

You do not even have to be christian or seventh day adventist to be accepted.

Where on AANA.com does it say that they are on probation? The only thing I see is that their next renewal date is listed as May 2008.

I know the last post was in 2008, but I just sent all of my information in today for MTSA. Is there any students out there or those that have applied that can give me any info?
