Rosalind Franklin University CRNA 2024

Updated:   Published

Hey everyone! I will be applying soon to Rosalind Franklin University's CRNA program starting May 2024.

I know applications in NursingCAS will open on August 10, 2023 and will close on December 15, 2023. I've heard that it is very competitive with rolling admissions so apply early! Interview invites have gone out in September in the past with virtual interviews taking place between October and February. Admission spots were offered last year as early as October. 

If you have anything to share throughout this application process, please post here!

Good luck to everyone!!

Congrats to all. I just finished my Kira. Does everyone who takes the Kira get an invite for the second interview and when do we hear any updates?

That's what I originally thought, but no I think they changed it from last year. I did not get a second interview. I got an email yesterday saying my application is being put on hold for further consideration. 

I would say it took a little over 2 weeks for any of us to hear anything after taking the Kira (the ones who took it right away anyway).

My application also got put on hold. I remember hearing in their zoom information session that it is common for applications to be put on hold but now I of course don't remember what other context they gave around that. Hopefully there is still a chance but we'll see. Good luck to everyone. 

Did you application get put on hold pre or post Kira?

Thank you ?

Silly question. But how much is the Kira assessment valued in part of the application process if that makes any sense? I know they are looking at the whole application but I feel that the Kira assessment is very heavy weighed.

@NeuroNinja congratulations! I'm assuming you bypass the 2nd interview? That's really awesome! ?

Not sure honestly. I originally thought if you got the Kira, you got the 2nd interview right after. My application got put on hold after Kira unfortunately, and I thought I did well. So who knows

Just received the email for the virtual interview!
