APhanRN

I was at their info session back in 2017 so we may have run into each other. Regarding the school, it's awesome and I can't see myself anywhere else. School is stressful but you have your classmates and faculty who is supportive throughout the entire process. They look for people that will mesh well with others so we all feel like family. Clinicals start in a few months so we shall see about that.

Good luck! Make sure you check out the SMU 2018 thread for great information regarding interviews :)

I assume you are talking about the CRNA diversity event andI attended it last year. It was one of the main reasons why I wanted to pursue becoming a CRNA, especially at SMU. I did some shadowing before but this event really made me understand what it took to be a CRNA and the scope of practice it entails. At the event, I found a SRNA mentor that helped me throughout the entire application process. I kept exposing myself to faculty and the program director until it got to the point where the first thing they said to me during my interview was "Hey, I recognized you from all of these events!" When talking to my new cohort, I would say ~50-70% attended the CRNA diversity event. I highly recommend going to it. The invaluable experience and networking possibility alone is hard to pass up.

Just got the email. Got in :)

Monday is here! Anyone got any word?

I submitted it on December 17th. They will still be sending until next week I believe.

Just got an invitation to an interview. See you guys there!

I spoke to admissions last week and they said they will sending out invites this week and the week after.

Anyone looking for a roommate? I have a start date of Nov 17 so I'm in the process of looking for a place. About me: 24/m/easy going. from California!

Hey fourland, Thank you! I interviewed on Oct 15. I was told that they will be finished with the outcomes by the end of this coming week. I hope it goes your way!

Just got a call back on Friday and got offered a position in the neuro ICU! I was lurking for the longest time in this thread but I want to thank everyone for the valuable information.
