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?

Thank you so much! I'm hoping I'm as prepared as I need to be with hearing how intense their interviews are!

That would be nerve racking but I'm sure you know your stuff if you've already secured the interview! 

Mine is also this week! Remember everyone will be nervous, it means you care!

Pursuing a career as a CRNA is no easy road. Sometimes the answer isn't what you hoped for. Bouncing back and fighting for your goal even harder the next time can only prove your determination and grit, and that experience can be used to make you an even stronger student than you would have been otherwise. Best of luck to all of you!

Me too - it's all about moving on and bouncing back! Did you apply to other programs?

I did but will be waiting for those a while. I am sure I will get into the right program at the right time! Good luck moving forward!

I wonder if we have got nothing, what it means? Why can't they do all at once. Yup just have to apply elsewhere! God will put you where you're meant to be.

Hopefully it means you're still in line for an interview!

The situation at Newman has grown increasingly complicated - lots of moving pieces. Can't get into the details but don't give up quite yet!
