Minneapolis School of Anesthesia 2020

[Guest999365]

Anyone out there getting their application ready? Excited for this process!

[ICURN391]

Hey all, I just spoke on the phone with MSA and they said we should expect to hear back between the end of December and beginning of January. Not long!

[Nateybird, BSN, RN]

They sure have a late admitting process!

[PNW-RN, BSN]

Just received a voice mail for an interview invite.

Congratulations, that must be a great feeling. Hoping to get that call too.

Congrats! Half way there. I got the voicemail, but returned the call after hours. What're the dates offered?

Things I was hoping to talk to them about:

1. The webpage says the first DNP cohort matriculates Summer 2020, but the NursingCAS app was for MSN, so which is it, or is there some overlap?
2. If it is a DNP program now, what is the net cost?

Great questions. I actually didn't call back yet. I was accepted to another school and was still considering MSA due to cost and shorter time.

I also got a call today for an interview today as well, but like you, when I went to call back it was after hours. I want to know the same! I wish they had more information posted on their website regarding the DNP program.

[ICURN391]

Does anyone know how many people they interview for the 30-some spots?

From the MSA website (front page):

"The Minneapolis School of Anesthesia plans to submit its application to the COA for approval to award the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in May, 2020. Pending approval by the COA, the program plans to enroll its first doctoral cohort of students in January, 2021. Further information regarding this transition may be obtained by contacting the school by mail: 6715 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park, MN 55426, by phone/fax: [phone], or by email: [email protected]."

So it looks like the program we applied to was the MSN and the DNP won't start until 2021.

[MNCV_RN]

Still making calls for setting up interviews today.

Yes it's definitely a MSN, the last cohort.
