Newman University DNAP CRNA 2024

Published

Good luck to everyone applying to Newman University's DNAP 2024 cohort! In the words of CRNA Jon Lowrance (Anesthesia Guidebook podcast), competition among applicants ends once CRNA school begins. To help cultivate this mindset, this forum is for applicants to share tips and pearls they've found along the way for preparing for the highly anticipated interview!

I'm reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow," "Make it Stick, the Science of Successful Learning," and "Costanzo's Physiology" to prep! Podcasts like "Anesthesia Guidebook," "Core Anesthesia," and "ACCRAC" have been helpful in giving me an idea of what to expect for both the interview and understanding the stress of CRNA school!

What have you found helpful? What pitfalls do you anticipate? What did you most enjoy from your shadowing experience?

Didn't get an interview at Newman but luckily I just accepted a spot in another program! Best of luck to everyone! 

Does anyone know when they would send official admission letters?

Hi Everyone,

I had an interview this week and also got a phone call on Friday afternoon that I got a spot! I'm super excited and also surprised that I didn't have to wait long to hear back!

oh wow that's pretty fast. Congrats guys!

 

I had an interview yesterday, so I assume I would hear something Mon or Tue. I was surprised that they did not ask me any clinical questions. I was expecting grinding clinical questions though. How was yours?

Yes I agreed! I got more behavioral questions and only 1 clinical question which I'm glad it fell right back on my specialty! Finger crossed that you hear something early next week!

My interview definitely had more behavioral questions but I did have probably 3-4 relatively in depth clinical questions/pharmacology.

I was accepted on Friday as well. Oddly enough, I was not asked any medical questions. It was more of a get to know me type of interview.
