MTSA 2020

Published

Hello all!

I am going to be applying for MTSA's doctorate program for nurse anesthesia. The application opens in January of 2019. Just wondering if anyone else out there is going to be applying? I just finished my first year of nursing in a Level 2 Trauma ICU! By the time I apply I will have about a year and a half of nursing experience. Hopefully this will be enough!

Specializes in PICU and PACU.

How was it @AresGod??

Good. Super nice 5 person panel. No scenario questions. Just experience personality and gameplan questions.

Definitely not as in depth as it has been in previous years! Don’t stress, be yourself!

I also had both personal and clinical questions. I was super nervous but they seemed very nice and like they tried to make us feel comfortable.

Yeah they’re gonna have a tough time making decisions this year because I feel as if they’re making it a lot less stressful and we’re all doing really well lol!

Yeah, the interview wasn’t stressful at all. They gave clinical questions but would give leads if you get stuck. I felt good overall.

Maybe they will go by stats.

Yeah probably so! In that case, count me out ?

But overall, the experience was much better than I imagined. I’m glad they made it more relaxed. And if I have to do it next year again, I at least know that it was not stressful at all!
