Rosalind Franklin University CRNA - May 2025

Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences with being waitlisted and accepted into a nursing program, specifically focusing on the timing of notifications and the process of being waitlisted. Some members have received acceptance letters after being waitlisted, while others are still waiting for updates. There is also discussion about improving applications for reapplying and increasing science GPA for future applications.

Anyone applying to RFU's CRNA program for May 2025 start? Applications open today in NursingCAS. I don't see the application yet so I plan to check again later in the day.

Applied September 26th and rejected October 1st. 

Did you get a legitimate rejection or a "hold"

Do you guys think I will even have a chance if I'm applying close to the deadline? This one class ends for me the beginning week of December. So I can't submit until it's completed 😕

Also, I am flying out to the open house this weekend. 

Hopefully connecting with them prior to actually submitting will help me out a little. My flight was so expensive 

I feel like the chance is pretty low to be honest. Mostly because NursingCas takes forever to validate your application and by then they may have already made their decisions. I was also told to apply as early as possible and didn't till the middle of September and still feel like that was too late.

I'm sorry about the rejection. Don't let this discourage you! Keep going!!
 

What were your stats? I'm so scared, I'm flying out to the open this weekend before I hit submit so they can put a face and personality to the app prior to seeing my app

Did they give you a rationale as to why or areas for improvement?

I think it's because you only have 1 year. I was at another open house and they said programs prefer 2-3 years

I may be biased but I think this is starting to change. I've heard too many years of ICU makes it harder to get back to learning. The AANA has also done research that shows anything past one year of experience dosent change outcomes or performance of CRNAs.
