Hi Everyone!

I have my first CRNA school interview w/Rosalind Franklin this weekend. I was just wondering if anyone have interviewed there and would be willing to share their experience. Types of questions, clinical focus, etc? Any advice would be very very helpful.

Thank you in advance. :)

Hi ML0130,

The interview went very well, I thought. Dr. Larson, the current Program Director/Chair, was very nice. They were very organized in introducing their program to the interviewees, except maybe in the beginning prior to the actual interview. A couple of us didn't know where to go since the school was closed and no one was really there to welcome us, however, this is very minor. Prior to the face interview, they introduced the program and gave a classroom presentation. It was then followed by a mini ICU quiz. Nothing too critical, they just want to know that you're knowledgeable of critical ICU patients. Then off to the face-to-face interview. They had a current/previous student with us the entire time, which was very helpful. This gave the candidates a chance to ask information re: how the program and their experience. The actual interview was very relaxed. I was interviewed by a panel of about 4/5 people, I can't quite remember. It started of with "get to know you" type questions and gradually progressed to CRNA related inquiries. They asked about my experiences, why CRNA, why our school, etc. No clinical questions at the actual interview.

Overall, I think my interview went well. =) I liked the school and the faculty were very nice. I was offered a seat in their program. I initially accepted it, however, I was also offered a seat at another program, which was my number 1 choice.

Good luck with the application process. Please private message me if you need any help. I would love to be of assistance to you!

hi avillam2! unfortunately im not an active enough member to be able to PM you, I just tried to. thank you for your detailed reply! what was your #1 choice? what school will you be attending? have you started? CONGRATS! it must be all too exciting for you!

I'm planning on applying to all of the CRNA schools in IL and one in WI. Did you take a graduate stats course as a pre-requisite for any of your applications? Millikin University is asking for it to be completed upon application this year.

I'm taking an Orgo Chem class because mine is over 5 years old. I'm taking the grad stats course as well, online. I'm planning to take the GRE soon and the CCRN. do you have your CCRN? I'm just hoping THIS is the year for me. I did not get in last year, and that was rough.

thanks for your kindness and your reply!
