New Mexico State University (NMSU) - Nurse Anesthesiology Fall 2023

From what I can gather, the program the director came from had more of a personality and preparation focus to the interview. But the academic advisor indicated it'd be more clinically focused. The thrill of being the guinea pigs.

Thanks for the input! And for asking. I was just thinking the same thing. It's always a toss up as to what types of questions they'll ask, but in this case we really have nothing to go on. 

Also, based on their website they're planning on admitting 24 students and according to the email, there appeared to be 32 interview spots. So, pretty decent chances if those numbers are correct.

Did everyone interview? How did you feel it went?! It's so hard to judge. I feel like mine went pretty well, but I just don't want to get hopes up. It was ALL personality and situation based for me. No clinical whatsoever.

Was not quite what I expected for sure, seemed low key almost. Have to see 🤞

[MGarcia34]

I agree. I was expecting to be hit with question after question. It seemed like more of a discussion back and forth.

Now we just have to sweat it out until Monday

Don't give up. Still a chance that not all acceptances have gone out yet. Also that some might turn it down. There was mention of a wait list in the email that I got so perhaps waitlist notifications will go out soon. Wishing you the best of luck!

Still up in the air apparently? Word is I'll know something by next Wednesday. Also said they only let a few people know? Seems strange, but I don't know. Congrats to those of you that made it in. I may or may not have had a minor existential crisis Monday 🫠
