So less than a year ago I posted on here with a moment to just vent my frustration with the negativity sent my way. I am happy to announce I was accepted in a program and I start next year. This was after hearing day one from every and anyone how I should keep waiting. I can say the fight is within me and knowing we are not all made equal will either make or break you. Only you know your strength to either fight or just give up. Good luck to anyone else hoping to be a CRNA and they can possible read this one day and realize a no is never the end of the world.

Update, denied. So anyone who hasnt gotten any letters be happy and wait for July

I want to know how far away those who got answers already? I am on the east coast.

What state are you in? Trying to figure if these are people close or far, everyone so far has been denied. Guess I will hope to make it to july.

Well just rushed to check my mail. No letter and my status online has not changed either. Sorry to hear and keep on going man. I dont know if you are the lucky one at this point my nerves cant take this any longer.

Yea mine still say under review. Hope it stays that way which means they are still processing me. Others are starting to say decision sent. So right now no news is good news.

Just wanted to be 51001

No and I tried calling with no reply.

Look at a site named all CRNA. They stay pretty up to date with the current 116 (I think this is right) schools that are now accredited. You can apply once you are off orientation for some schools allowing you to time it for specific deadlines. Its just a matter of having that one year. Honestly many people come on here and discourage others, I say go for it. I have had people applying to schools I am applying and still encourage them. All the schools can do is say no, you are in the system and you try again. As for in state if that's what works now go for it. That site will give deadlines, what is needed specific to each school and so on. Just make sure you have the minimum, your make and break will be in the interview. Each program is different. Some have contacted me wanting me to retake the GRE for example, while for others its just fine. So again know the program and what they want and try to give them what they are asking for. Any questions feel free to email me along2708 at gmail.

It just dawned on me that I have watched quite a few of your videos on youtube. My favorite was the 7 types. I was the hated one that didn't study and passed all my exams during nursing school. Then again I have always been laid back lol. Anyway good work man funny stuff.

I think they are just trying to mess with us at this point smh. Oh such a drawn out process. By time they get back to me, they better tell me I am getting in with a full scholarship for playing with my nerves like this. Anyway back to waiting once more

Mine is saying its due April 1st instead of those dates. Anyone else says that? Well its still under review as well.

Yea its crazy that no one has heard anything this far in. I have no idea if this is a good or bad thing. Its almost june.

I wasnt given any recommendations on classes. Feel free to email me as well. My interview is on tuesday in the morning if anyone else will be there at that time, would like to say good luck.

Well new update... I was told that the initial rounds are complete and decisions are being made for the next round paying close attention to final steps. In short I was now told another 1-2 months, so scratch what they told me on the phone and we will be notified by mail. Well I am heading back into hiding or accept from another school that I will find out before now. Good luck guys.

called today and I heard three to five days. So will shall see. Good luck again guys.

So update... I have an interview coming up so now I wait.

Congrats, I got an interview as well. Think we are applying to the same program after looking at your other thread. Email me [email protected] and will give an update on the interview process. We might eventually become classmates and would be funny if we do after all this time. Small world

I can give you more. I cant PM, but I am told its laid back. You are currently active duty? I have a buddy stationed there right now, well many who are still there and know a few instructors there both crna and such. I dont know we can change info here. My email is unsername in google mail. You are smart think you can figure it out.

Hi goalieccrn, congrats and I too got an interview coming up. Did you go to their gran rounds? I was told about it, but could not get the time off to go. Also what area are you? I got a friend who graduated from the program a year ago and he said its really laid back. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I think anyway I can help I will since we may end up being classmates.

I too applied to St marys and actually I have done the same with searcing for threads. I found many people getting denied and one or two who were already in the program willing to get accepted. All I can say is each year is different and dont give up. Apply to many schools. As for myself, I recently got the greenlight to interview at another college, actually closer to me with stricter standards. I dont even think I am that competitive with numbers, but they look at the whole not just numbers on a paper. I volunteer, teach classes at my hospital and work on more than just having a great GPA.

I applied to the York program. Wondering if anyone else has, and how has the process been so far for you? Has anyone also been to their nursing grand rounds?

Congrats definitely on everything. Hope you are successful in your endeavor.

Thank you for thr words. I am happy you got in. Can I ask what your other background information included and what program? I am now just trying to streghthen my resume with whatever credentials I can obtain.

It was more of a rant lol. I just get frustrated with the negativity sent out when someone tries to further themselves. We are not made equally. Some people need 6 years, others need 6 months. As they saw, its how you act when you finally see that zebra.
