You're not the only one. My 3 buddies in my unit are interviewing this week and have had their noses buried in their Stohlting books during their entire 12 hour shifts. The MTSA interview is by far the most intimidating interview I've ever had and th...

Texas Wesleyan CRNA Class of 2017 FB page is up and running. Go add yourself after you've been accepted

GRE scores and GPA of 3.66 are competitive. Experience looks good. I wouldn't worry about the FNP thing. That shouldn't hurt your chances at all. If anything it shows you have drive to further your education. Good luck!! Go for it. I would definitely...

Texas Wesleyan CRNA Class of 2017 FB Page is up and running for those of you accepted. Go look it up

I had 4 years of CVICU experience and the one student made me feel like a chump. Askin stuff no ICU nurse would need to know for their profession. But good luck man. I've got 3 friends from work interviewing for MTSA in Jan as well. Keep us informed!...

No I ended up taking a spot at TWU. My buddy from work ended up accepting his spot and he loves it. I did take a tour of the "school" and they have some pretty top of the line sim labs. I didn't like that the seniors and juniors share one large class...

Hardest interview I've ever had. You get to pick the specialty your most comfortable (CVICU, MSICU...etc) then you draw a pt scenario and they hammer you with questions about drug MOAs. I ended up having to explain drugs down to the effects on calciu...

Exactly. Many DNP/DNAP programs will allow you to do a lot of the Doctorate classes and fluff classes online but I don't know of any that allow anesthesia classes online. And frankly, I don't think I would want a degree from a school that did. You wa...

Interviews are a little different then because I work in a CVICU and every question was CV related until I mentioned I weaned my own vents then it took a sharp turn into PEEP and ABGs. But, as stated here, it is very CCRN based so go in being prepare...

I'd like to hear about this as well

Questions are based specifically on your patient demographic you are used to. As stated above, they will ask you questions you won't know. They are looking for an opportunity to work you through a problem to see what your thought process is like. My ...

I want to work in a major hospital after I get done just to gain as much experience as I can but eventually yes I would like to be in a smaller, rural hospital and be a lot more autonomous. I actually had thought about pediatric oncology but I spoke ...

Hey everyone, I was just accepted into Texas Wesleyan's CRNA program for the 2015 start. I have an interview for Murray State University on Dec. 5th. I am looking into completing my doctorate in the end. My question is to ask anyone who has some good...

Yeah I didn't necessarily mean fluff as in easy. I meant fluff as in filler classes. Like theory and the ones that don't require a lab component. I'm sure they are still time consuming but hopefully it will allow me enough time outside of school to c...

Thanks for the info!! I went for my MSU interview yesterday and it went really well. I got a lot of my questions answered and they explained their side of the lower pass rate a few years back. I also forgot that MSU allows you to continue working dur...

Thanks for the info. I've only spoke with a few current students and they've all been from different clinical sites. All have had very positive things to say so it's gonna come down to just picking on my own... I've got a few weeks left

It's against the norm but I know some RNs that have gotten into CRNA programs with sub 3.0 GPAs. I know of MANY sub 3.0 GPA students that have been accepted and have graduated from FNP/ACNP programs. The CRNA rout will be much more difficult for you ...

Murray State University in Madisonville, KY will allow you to complete the first semester online prior to starting Sim Lab and Clinicals

Hey Alana, First off, congrats on your interview. Secondly, they no longer administer the math test, so no worries. I interviewed with TWU in November (and was accepted on the spot;) ) I actually asked the board when I arrived what the math test wa...

I was also and LPN before I finished my ADN and BSN. I was a CNA and EMT prior to that... Became a CNA to pay for EMT. EMT to pay for LPN, LPN to pay for ADN, and ADN to pay for BSN.... Why not make more money to fund your future goal?

Very doable!! I know many FNP students that got accepted into school with

Thanks for the reply!! I was not thrilled with the class size of TWU at first either but when I interviewed I found that my actual class size would only be around 6-10 students. Although the entire graduating class is around 100, each clinical satell...

$29.96 base, $3.50 night diff. $2.00 weekend diff. In downtown Nashville, TN. This is with BSN, CCRN, ACLS, PALS, and 6 years ICU experience...

Absolutely! Be honest about it because if they find it and you weren't up front about it there may be repercussions. They can't deny your licensure for a minor ticket like that. They basically just look for felony charges like battery and refusal to ...
