Thanks for your reply! I agree that most of the questions were challenging. I looked up things I wasn't sure about and there was one question I was sure I'd never learned, but expected to learn in CRNA school. I said so much during the interview! Unfortunately, the one that I let get to me was one I could have answered as a high schooler. They asked about a disease by it's commonly known acronym: the answer was one of the words in the acronym. Yikes! I like that your email follow up included you addressing the questions. Thanks for the encouragement! I look forward to what the next weeks bring for us both.

Congratulations to everyone who applied! It's a huge task to even be eligible for application to the program, and I love seeing how many of us have achieved the necessary hours, licensure, and test scores. Definitely something to be proud of! I interviewed 9/13 and IMO bombed the clinical questions part after my mind left my body. I didn't realize this would be such a large part of the interview, so I didn't slow down to think and answered the questions rapid fire, like I was on a game show. I won't repeat any of the questions, but I missed one that a layperson could have answered correctly, and I knew I was wrong immediately. Well that sent me into a spiral and the rest of the clinical interview was messy. I sent a followup email thanking them for the interview (not addressing the ridiculous answers I gave), and it's been crickets since. My academic background and test scores are strong, but I'm sure I left them wondering how on earth I provide safe care to my patients. *Cringe* GRE verbal 164 (94%) GRE quantitative 169 (93%) GRE writing 5.0 (91%) Undergrad GPA (BS Bio, BA Chem, BSN) 3.77 Nursing GPA 3.95 4ish years in critical care, most of it traveling as charge and preceptor Should I follow up again? Would you send an email recognizing the errors made in answering clinical questions? Congrats again to all, and to those who got it: YOU DID IT!
