Congrats! Can I ask what your stats were? I saw someone who said they had a 4.0 science and a 3.85 cGPA get still get rejected. 

A friend told me he was asked mostly clinical questions when he interviewed last year.

My science GPA is about 3.8. I retook the only course I got a C in and got an A. I've also taken 4 graduate level courses and got A's in all of them. My cumulative GPA is actually on the lower end- 3.3. I have my CCRN, TNCC, 5yrs of ICU experience at a level 1 trauma facility, charge nurse, preceptor, and on a few unit committees.  

Specializes in MICU.

Thank you for replying! Congratulations on obtaining an interview and best of luck! ❤️

So..... 15 min interview!? WTH? I've never done that before. I see that a few people on here have interviewed with them before. How was it? I feel like they probably already know who they want and therefore are doing only 15min interviews maybe? 🤔 

As the interview dates are coming up, I'm getting more nervous. Does any of you know what kind of questions will be asked during the interview? More of personal or clinical? I guess it will be a mixture of both... It will be my very first CRNA interview. Any tips will be appreciated. Thank you!!

I feel the same! First interview and super nervous. 

Specializes in Trauma Critical Care.

Anybody have any idea on how tomorrow will go? Super nervous!
