has anyone heard about interviews yet?

Is anyone Interviewing tomorrow? From my understanding, it will be an information session followed by interaction with current students, right? Then, our personal interview (clinical questions) will be later next week? Does anyone know? TIA and best of luck to everyone.

Same! @aggies1896, where did you end up accepting of you don’t mind me asking?

Hi everyone ? Did anyone end up declining their seat at Baylor or UT? Some people were having that dilemma

Our of curiosity, my gf was waitlisted here. Do y’all know if people have declined their admission because they went elsewhere?

The first interview is said to be "relaxed." Does anyone know if they ask clinical questions?

That’s good!! Congrats!

Thank you kindly. I am sure they are still working though the apps, I would send an email and ask (if you haven’t already)!

An hour before it was due ? and same for my transcripts. They were snail mailed. So they probably received my transcripts the day they contacted me for interview

Yes I have an interview

It did not! It still says submitted IDK how they send stuff out for Texas Wesleyan /: it seems that they do stuff all over the place when it comes to interviews so I wouldn’t be surprised if they contact people at different times.

She got her unofficial acceptance. It was in her junk mail. *** said they would send out her official letter sometime next week.

Hi y’all, check your emails!

Oh I forgot to mention..... one big difference between NP and CRNA is that.. NPs diagnose and treat a disease. They see IDK.. 20 patients in one day or more. If you work in hospitals, you maybe see your patients for 5 mins, diagnose, and prescribe meds + orders. A bedside nurse carries out your orders.. so it’s not very patient-involved. But if you love drawing labs, doing arterial sticks, would love to learn to place a lines/central lines/nerve blocks, intubate, give vasoactive meds depending on vitals, and for all of your focus to be on one patient for hours.. then CRNA is the answer. Depending on the hospital, CRNA is very involved w the patient, from drawing labs, to giving blood, Monitoring your sedation/vitals... giving fluids.. very patient involved.

I have been an ICU nurse for about 4.5 years. Currently travel nursing and have been able to save money that way. School is very very expensive, most programs are 100K. So my goal is to have that much money saved by the time I start CRNA school. I started my FNP degree back in 2018 simply because I wanted to make myself more competitive for CRNA school. I also would love to be an aesthetic/derm NP on the side LOL. And because I truly love education and learning, but again, I wanted to make myself more competitive. I graduated with a 3.48 nursing GPA /; but my sciences are like a 3.7. I am 60% done with my masters and GPA is 3.8. I have my CCRN, CMC, TNCC and other certs. It took me like 3 months of studying like 2-5 hours on my days off to prep for the GRE /: and I have been studying almost every day for 2 months prepping for interviews. It’s A LOT. Anyhow, CRNA school is very competitive. So far, I’ve applied to 8 schools. I was accepted to a program already but.. I have also been waitlisted for most of the schools. I have a couple of more interviews coming up, but the tuition for that school is 156K.. great program though. My GF has also been waitlisted or denied from multiple schools. She is also applying this year. It depends on the lifestyle you want.. and where your heart is. if you love children, love having many patients, and you don’t mind working clinic hours then do NP! But if you want more flexibility in schedule, a bit more money, to work in the OR, and have 1 patient at a time, then go for CRNA. I would recommend shadowing both.. and this will also help you during interviews as it’s the #1 question the faculty asks. If CRNA is your goal through, then do it. Take a year to save money and take grad nursing classes on the side. Get all the certs you can and join committees. Also, volunteer somewhere. I did like 90 hours at my local physical therapy clinic. I also was involved in shared governance committees while I was a staff nurse.. 3 years ago. If you want it, you can do it. You May have to apply to many schools and may have to wait a year or so. But, it’ll be worth it. Best of luck.

Interesting. I went to my hometown in El Paso, Texas and they are having a major major surge. I currently live in Los angels, and the city is slowly opening up but gyms and some indoor dining places are still closed. They have been closed for months!! But covid isn’t terrible there despite the big population

I started an application to Samuel Merritt, it’s due tonight? that’s why I was hoping to hear back from TWU. That one I just need to pay the fee. & I had started the application for a couple of schools in Fl that have deadlines that close in Jan/feb! They use nursingcas so all you have to do is get references and pay the fee. Cause nursingcas already has all your transcripts/and info.

Anyway, I didn’t mean to spike everyone’s anxiety. But I just wanted to give an update and perhaps receive some reassurance/clarification as to what the email meant (since my SO and I were both confused). I didn’t want to bombard the school w. more emails so I just asked on here. Some other schools have deadlines that close in the following days and I wasn’t sure if to pay the additional fees/essays/ask for more references if I had gotten accepted at TWU. Regardless of the outcome, best of luck to everyone!

Yes I checked too! But my coworker also interviewed and was accepted on the spot. He isn’t on this site though! And I use my SO account to respond to comments on here cause I don’t have an account either.. ?

I am not sure if people got acceptance emails. But a few people were accepted on the spot.

Not sure. My gf and I are also kinda stressing ? she emailed *** and got this ambiguous response. Her : “Hi ****, I know of some friends who already got their invite. If we didn’t hear by Friday, does that mean we were waitlisted or denied? “ The response: “More than likely yes. Some people got the news already but the main bulk will be getting it sometime this week. “ We were both confused by the response.

Ty!

I ended up accepting somewhere else! But my SO is still waiting on decision from TWU. I heard some people already had their status changed online and some haven’t. She is worried that she is waitlisted or denied since a lot of people already had their status changed/:

Did anyone else’s app status change for TWU? best of luck to everyone !
