If schools find out you lied in any part of the application, they will dismiss you. When I interviewed, I find out a student was dismissed when he failed to disclose that he attended CRNA school previously.

Worked for 7 years. 400k. Wife similar so thankfully I don't have to take out any loans.

Just apply. If you don't get in, you will at least get the experience of interviewing and will know what they will test for and ask. I was in your position and kept waiting and waiting trying to make my resume good enough. I work at a top hospital in NYC right now and will start school in August. Looking back at the process, I probably would've made it in 2 years ago if I had more confidence and tried applying.

CV/CT is better, but in the end it doesn't matter. Any ICU is good. Just study and know your stuff. I got into 3 out of 4 schools and I have only worked MICU and Neuro.

Take the program which finishes earlier. You will be grandfathered in so it will not matter at all unless you want to go into teaching, but then you will just be able to do your DNP/DNAP online. I know a few with masters who are taking their doctorate online at Texas Wesleyan or VCU, schools like that. I work at NYC in a top hospital, and our Chief CRNA only has a bachelors with a certificate, so you will be fine with a masters. I got into a DNP and 2 MSN programs, and I chose the MSN.

Whatever you do, do not lie on your application. I asked a school I interviewed with about their attrition reasons and they mentioned they had to dismiss one person due to not stating they had attended a prior crna program.

Funny that racism and anti-diversity is the first thing that comes to people's minds when something goes against them in Southern California of all places. The state where they give illegals benefits.

Are you planning to enroll at The University of Scranton for graduate studies? NO, I would like to decline my offer of admission and withdraw my acceptance. Going to a New York school instead as it is more convenient for me.

So you're interested in becoming a CRNA yet you can't do your own research and want to be spoon fed everything? You'll make a great candidate.

Why don't you shadow like everyone else who is interested in the profession?

Heh, looks like I got accepted. Probably go somewhere else, though.

I haven't heard anything so I doubt they accepted me. Guess my answers to their 5 personal questions weren't good enough, haha. I was accepted to other schools I preferred though so it's fine. Good luck, everyone.

Did they email you or send a letter? My interview was horrible so I'm expecting a denial, but heard nothing yet.

Did they email you guys?

They contacted me late September for an interview. There were 3 days or so to choose from. Not sure if there are more, but I chose the latest one they offered which is next week.
