Hi! This topic is for those applying to NorthShore's NA program, with their application just opening on Feb. 1st. Is anyone familiar with their interview style/process? Best wishes to everyone!

I interviewed last year and it was pretty much all personal. You interview with multiple different faculty members through the day but they're all very nice. I don't think I had any clinical questions, more just "tell me about the sickest patient you've had" kinda thing. I decided not to attend because of getting into a school that better fitted me but I felt the interview at Northshore was one of the most personal CRNA interviews I've had.

Okay thank you so much! And congratulations on your acceptance, so incredible. What was the deciding factor that pushed you to attend the different school?

Can you recall any of the personal questions or was it pretty generic/ their follow up questions went with the flow?

Thank you! I actually got waitlisted at Northshore originally so by the time I even was taken off the waitlist I had already committed to another school.
And as far as questions I can't remember specifics but I do recall they would look directly at my resume and asked things off of that. And also had a list of generic EI questions. I felt really confident after my interview LOL so unsure why I was waitlisted at first but it all worked out. I think they really are just trying to find students who will be a good fit for their program not necessarily the person who looks best on paper which I really appreciated
