I was not able to find a forum on this topic already so I figured I would start one. I am working on submitting my application for the 2024 cycle. Let's share our stats, interview dates and anything related to this school.  Good luck to anyone else applying.

I know there's a cohort of students that were accepted early this year around March but haven't actually began the program because the accreditation is still pending. With that said, would we then start in 2025 if accepted ? 
I'm kinda confused

From what I know they are still waiting accreditation. I saw on the COA website that they visited nmsu this Spring and they are in process. IDK about this class in March. It wouldn't make sense because they didn't stop the first class. It's confusing

I think it's a bit too much that they require shadowing experience from 3 different CRNAs.

They say they "prefer" shadowing 3 different CRNAs but the only shadowing requirement they have is 8 hours minimum.

Exactly. What difference it will make ? It is what it is

Hi guys. Did you all manage to shadow 3 CRNAs before submitting your applications?
