I was accepted and will be starting this fall too! Where is everyone coming from and what kind of ICU are you guys working in? I will have 2 years of nursing and cardiac surgical ICU experience when school starts. My husband is currently in the progr...

I hear a lot of ruckus on forums in regards to never seeing family during school. It's simply not true. So far in my first year, we are expected to be in class/clinicals 40 hours a week. That is not including study time, which is a lot..but you are a...

To make a long story short- I had a 3.4 overall gpa, 3.55 or so nursing gpa, no gre, was ccrn/acls/pals certified at application time, 3.3-3.5 science gpa, and had a year and a half experience. I was a very average applicant grade wise, but stood ou...

Yes...Graduated nursing school May/June of 09', started in the icu, and applied to school in Oct. of 2010. Was accepted and will start in August. So I will have 2 years by the time I start, but was accepted with just over a year. -rm

Your GPA is not everything! I was told specifically by someone in an interview, "We are not looking for that 4.0 student (although it wouldnt hurt)...we also arent looking for that C-D student either. We are looking for someone who is extremely mo...

Get shadowing experience, pass ccrn, get leadership roles (charge nurse, committees at work, etc...)- other than that your stats look good!

Make up for it in other area's! Try and work in an environment in which you are getting to see a wide variety of patients and treatments (swanz, lvad's, ecmo, oscillator's, central lines, etc...) and also using or seeing a lot of vasoactive drugs. ...

I can not believe this....but I got in. It's almost like a dream right now. Sean, send me a pm. Good luck to the rest of the interviewee's...see you august 24th!!!!

Congratulations! Thats fantastic :)....I am still waiting on news. Did it come in a packet or a letter??

Anyone hear any news? Received letters? -Riley

Hey there, my wife (Courtney) and I graduated from east central univ. We currently work at baptist (701,801), did u do any clinical rotations there? Anyways, I would wait until you start working before you shadow. Once you have a strong clinical back...

Just finished my interview. Felt pretty nervous during the first interview, and felt I could have definitely done a better job articulating my thoughts...Second interview was with one of the instructors, and I felt that interview went perfectly. I'...

Will do...its coming up quick! The nerves are finally starting to hit me, lol. Did you do any type of tour of the facility?

SeanSan, I hope your interview went well! Was it as nerve wracking as you had expected it to be...better/worse? How long did it end up being? I'll let you know how mine goes in about a week or so.

I am interviewing December 16th. I am flying out the 15th from Oklahoma, and I'm praying that the weather holds up for us all. I'm pretty nervous, yet excited...I just dont know what to expect. Trying to stay optimistic about my chances, but still...

congrats WIMurse! When is your interview? Where will you be coming from and what kind of ICU are you in? There is not a lot of info out there on this program. What all have you heard about it? Good luck at your interview :)

Anyone else receive an invite for an interview? I've noticed in years past the interviews have gone until the end of January. When the school called to set up an interview they said interviews were until Jan 7...are they doing things different this y...

seansanf120 When is your interview day set for? What all have you heard from previous student's experience with interviews at MSA? Flight is now booked. Just hoping not to get caught in a blizzard up there! Good luck with your interview :) Riley

Gasgirl, luckycharm....any news yet on whether you have received an interview?? For those that are familiar with the interview process, what all have you heard? I was interested to know if it was going to be in front of a panel, and whether they ask...

He called the school back this morning and they had called to tell him he was granted an interview!!! Interviews start the beginning of dec until Jan 7! Hope everyone gets good news soon :)

My husband had a missed call from the Minneapolis School of Anesthesia today, and they left a message to call him back. Unfortunately, he was sleeping and didnt get the message until after the school was closed. Did anyone else receive a call today...

I am very interested in applying for this school and I'm wondering if I could get some more info out of you guys! I'm curious about stats for acceptance to the school such as gpa, gre scores, years experience and what type of ICU, certifications, etc...

MNSRNA, I was wondering if you could give me some info on your stats and/or the average stats of students accepted to msa such as gpa, science gpa, years of experience, area of experience, etc.? What do they look for in your letters of recommendation...
