I am a senior in a CRNA program. It is a long road to become a CRNA. From decision to pursue CRNA to start of practice we're talking ~8-10 years. The decision depends on your personal financial situation and motives. I would not suggest starting this career that late in life to anyone. Also, most CRNAs graduate with 100-200k in debt.

Just got my admission email today. Says I have to send a couple transcripts but was approved for admission! Congratulations to those that got in!

How were you guys notified? I haven’t received anything

Anybody hear anything yet?

Giving details on interviews would not be fair to myself or anybody else interviewing. Good luck

I just interviewed today. Good luck!

Still haven’t heard anything, I don’t know the timeline for this school as nobody has accounts of past years on this site. Have you?

Medrn I am also quite confused by your fantasy thinking comment. You are not even an RN yet and yet already bashing the field? If you want to work in a high acuity ICU you’ll need to escape the resuscitation based mindset that paramedics have been trained to adopt and add several more facets. You will need to learn patient advocation, learning to talk to doctors, fine tuned patient assessments and monitoring, complex family dynamics, many complex ICU modalities. Having your experience as a paramedic will give you a very baseline knowledge for the field and I would suggest tucking your tail between your legs as you enter the field as veteran nurses will not be so keen on a new grad who is not maleable. These make dangerous nurses IMO. That being said, you’ll need to bring your GPA >3.5 to be competitive for CRNA school and work at least 1 year in a high acuity preferably level 1 trauma hospital ICU. Many schools prefer adult MICU/CV/SICU as you will become familiar with various drips/vents/invasive monitoring techniques. CRNA schools will look at your core nursing curriculum heavily while applying to CRNA school and since you received poor grades in them you will need to make up for this in other ways. The fluff BSN courses will not carry much weight in the CRNA schools eye if they see you received B’s and C’s mostly in your ADN. good luck

Sounds like decisions are filtering through. Did anyone else hear recently if they have been admitted or waitlisted?

Anybody who interviewed for regular admissions hear back yet? I was told we would hear this week or next week.

How long after your interviews did it take to hear of your acceptance?

I applied for fall 2021

To those who’ve been admitted, can you explain the format of the interview? Helpful study material? Is it group interview or individual? I plan to study drips and CCRN material. Thank you in advance.

Has anybody completed the graduate level statistics requirement? If not, where are you planning to take it?
