  1. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey RN910, What'd you think about orientation at MTSA? Did it stress you out as much as it stressed me out (e.g. inch-thick packet on 12-Lead EKGs, inch-thick packet on Arrythmias, Summer Drug List,...

  2. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm super excited, especially considering my work environment is deteriorating at a rapid pace! I thought having an end in sight would make it easier to come into work each day, but I found that it is...

  3. Chances with 2nd Bachelor's from Accelerated Program?

    MurseWithAMission replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had a BS in Psychology Pre-Med from a 4-year private college. In 2008, I went back to an accelerated BSN program and graduated in May 2010. Been working in critical care since and applied to CRNA...

  4. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Almcco, I hope you end up getting a spot! Out of curiosity, how did they notify you of being an alternate? Via a letter in the mail or a phone call? And what did they state was the timing? When will...

  5. Average age of SRNA?

    MurseWithAMission replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lol. I'm 29! I'm not the 24 year old. Graduated pre-med at age 22. Worked for 4 years. Went to 22 month accelerated program when I was 26. Worked in ICU right out of school at age 28. Will start CRNAS...

  6. Average age of SRNA?

    MurseWithAMission replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got into the ICU right after graduation. My problem was that I already got my BS in Pre-Med so I had to go back and get my nursing degree. Wasted years!

  7. Average age of SRNA?

    MurseWithAMission replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm 29, and I just got accepted to a program and will start July, 2012 (I will be 30 in August, 2012). I think I am probably around the avg.

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good luck!!! You'll be fine. It definitely was not anything too crazy difficult. Just trust your instincts and don't go back and change answers. Let us know how you

  12. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not sure about that number at all. I just did a little reverse math based off of the limited knowledge that I had about the applicant pool this year. If you spoke with someone at MTSA, then I...

  13. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know exactly what you mean!!! I'm looking at it this way: I know acceptance is on a point system (so as to keep it 100% objective) and you get points in every aspect of the application; points for...

  14. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No other applications. Kind of placed all my eggs in this basket! Hoping MTSA works out bc reapplication after a rejection requires a 3-credit hour graduate science course and 5 brand new references...

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    LOL. Hopefully in exactly 1 week from this moment, we will be sleeping soundly, knowing that by 2014, we will be board certified

  16. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah that's an old process. The past year and our year I think they interview ALL potentials over the course of 3 days, with those with the "most competitive GPAs" being interviewed on the first day...

  18. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think approximately 1/3 of all applicants got interviews this time around. They usually interview 2x the number of slots available. 72 right? So about 150 interviewed and 450 applied. Does that...

  19. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    P.S. You must be a glutton for self-punishment! MTSA interview on Thursday and CCRN test on Monday?! That's nuts! Good luck though! I remember thinking that I may have failed during the exam but...

  20. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I used the Pass CCRN book too! Seriously, just focus on the Cardiac and Pulmonary sections as these two make up about 40% of the exam. Then fluff professional/ethical care questions make up another...

  21. Does anyone have interview at MTSA/or current student

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You and me both. Keep in mind, they don't expect you to know everything. They really put us through this process to see how well we handle ourselves under pressure bc nurse anesthesia is a job that...

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You said it! Spoke with a person who started MTSA this summer. She said she got her acceptance phone call on Wednesday, 1 day earlier than the scheduled call-back day. So make sure to have your phone...

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Haha. U can't sleep either? My nerves are still in overdrive. I'm curious what Q's they asked you but don't want you to post it here in case MTSA is weird about giving away information before the 2nd...

    MurseWithAMission replied to pbilbrey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey kyRN! Had my interview this AM as well! The interview committee was definitely quieter and more serious than I had anticipated. Managed to get a few good laughs out of them near the end of the...
