I am planning on applying to Mount Marty's CRNA program in South Dakota this year. Wondering if anyone is applying, in the program, or has gone through the program.

Definitely. Trying to find information on this school was terrible. We have given that feedback to administration and they are planning on increasing their social media presence, although who knows when that will be.

I'm chosing Sioux Falls as my #1, Omaha/Council Bluff #2 (I have family in Omaha), and Sioux City, Iowa #3. I wanna be as close to Sioux Falls since I would be moving from Oklahoma.
S.kill2018 do you mind elaborating about your interview questions as far as what type of questions to expect? Also im sure by now you've spoken to many of your class mates were the answers to these questions similar? What is the school looking for particularly in their students who get selected? This is my 4th interview and I didn't get in the last schools so Im beginning to second guess my responses to simple questions like " Why do you want to be a CRNA?" so any input on how you secured a spot would be greatly appreciated!!!! THANKS!
Excellent CRNA program that celebrated 75th year 2 yrs ago. Family member in the program. First 14 months spent in didactic in Sioux Falls. Travel in winter can be down right dangerous with zero visibility with closed interstate for hours to days. Snow drifts last year in town (Fargo) 12 feet or more. This can impact need for additional housing etc. the first year. Fargo clinical sites share clinical time with UND students. All students do additional out if town rotations from their home site. Use your time during the interview to talk to to the 3rd year students about pro/cons of various sites. Good luck to all of you!
