   CritterDNP replied to ICU_RN14's topic in SRNA

   This is my top choice program as well! My chemistry credits were from 2017-2019 as well, and I don't plan on refreshing them personally. I'm padding my application in other ways - GRE, CCRN, shadowing, leadership experience, special training includin...

   Admission decisions were sent out- check your email and application page. I'm on the wait list, so could be better could be worse. Good luck still to all!

   CritterDNP replied to icunurseBSNRN's topic in SRNA

   I just finished my interview - yay! They were super nice and honestly provided noticeable cues about when you've said something they were hoping to hear. It really was mostly a conversation - what do you do for fun type questions - but they sprinkled...

4. Dropping to PRN

   CritterDNP replied to aga2012's topic in General Nursing

   Do it. You could theoretically still work full time hours, but it would be during shifts YOU want to work - which sounds likely especially if they're always short staffed, yay you! You'll get more money from over time since casual status starts payin...

   One of them honored the reminder, and the other .. Did not. LOL. I reached out to a different individual who agreed to do it short notice and they also did not. So I had to hunt someone down as we were actively working on night shift together and ask...

   Hi! No personal statement, but this is what is stated for their essay requirements: " Responses to the both of the following essay questions (max 250 words) Discuss your interests, life experiences, or goals associated with your ...

    CritterDNP replied to ICU5890's topic in SRNA

    I sent a follow up email expanding on a question and thanking them for their time, and less than a week later I got a rejection. Maybe that was the wrong move? LOL. Try try again, on to the next application! Best of luck to all those still waiting to...

11. UW Lacrosse/ Mayo CRNA 2024

    CritterDNP replied to ICU5890's topic in SRNA

    I felt good about it but I think that was kind of the point. They were super friendly, none of their questions were as in depth as I was preparing for, and they seemed genuinely excited to answer the questions I had for them. I put my foot in my mout...

    CritterDNP replied to ICU5890's topic in SRNA

    Does anyone know how many will be part of the interview panel? I want to bring copies of my resume because I worked very hard on it and it shows in more detail the acuity of patients I've been taking on at my job. They said faculty, current students,...

    The last interview day is November 1st if I remember correctly. I think they start the Thursday or Friday before then

    I think my GPA was a huge selling point too, they didn't ask for resumes but they asked for transcripts which would show it. They could be waiting to fill all interview slots before they reject anyone, so if someone declines to interview or doesn't...

    I got an invitation to interview yesterday! I've heard that they are laid back and focus on EI questions. Has anyone heard differently since the changes all programs have gone through with the DNP requirements? GPA 3.9 overall 3.7 science, 2 pub...
