I am applying to UAB's CRNA program for fall '08. I would appreciate any advice/insight from current or previous UAB students. I got my BSN from UAB, and really want to go back for CRNA. I'm mostly concerned with the interview...an advisor told me I have a competitive GPA and I scored well on the MAT; so I think the interview is going to be critical as to whether or not I'm accepted. What kind of questions do they ask and what answers are they looking for? What do they like to see in the essay? Thanks!!

Now that I look back, I would say that my interview was not all that bad. I was very nervous and very scared. My hands were so sweaty and my knees were shaking. They were very nice and straight to the point. They ask me what I knew about the program, what was cardiogenic shock and to explain it. They also wanted to make sure I was aware of how expensive it was going to be and what plans had I made. Other questions were: what set me apart from others, explained ARDS and what the PA pressures would be in these patients, what was my weakness. I hope this helps some. What regional site would you do your clinical in if you are accepted?
Thank you!! I'm glad to know there may be some clinical questions...that's a big help. If I get in my preference would be Birmingham for clinicals--have a good friend with a basement apartment I can have for little to no rent. Thanks again!
