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.

To those of you who got put on hold (either this cycle or last), what were your stats, if you don't mind my asking? And did anyone who get put on hold ask them what that means? Is it pretty much like a waitlist?

I got a hold notification on 8/23. I emailed them to ask what it meant and haven't heard back yet. 

My stats; BSN GPA 3.53, MSN GPA 3.8, Hard science GPA 3.86, CCRN, ACLS/PALS/BLS, 2 years RN experience TSICU.

I got a kira interview last year and got put on hold shortly after then got put on the waitlist. A hold is a hold until further notice. Not the same thing as a waitlist. I didn't find out I was on the waitlist until Spring I think.

GPA 3.1, CCRN, ACLS/BLS/PALS, RN for 4 years. Did about 3 in NeuroICU at a Level1 trauma center/stroke center, traveled for 1 year in SICU/MICU mostly (some CV), now at a SICU at a Level1. Volunteer work, shadow hours. Retook science courses because my GPA obviously isn't the best. Grad stats + advanced pharm.

I haven't heard anything back yet either, but I didn't get confirmation from them until 8/20, so it hasn't been a week yet.

Wow! Seeing the stats that they put on hold makes me nervous. Praying for some good news sometime this week.

I wonder how heavily the questions on the application are weighted when they're making decisions for interview invites as well.

I'm wondering the same thing! I have been obsessively checking my email every hour LOL. Everyone seems like a really qualified candidate!

Just heard back about the "hold" status. They are still going to consider me for an interview and my application will continued to be reviewed throughout the application cycle.

Thanks for the update! I was reading it wrong and thought we had to have it done within a week of the first notice, and was getting anxious since I hadn't seen the link yet.

Hello to all! I have applied but have not received any confirmation so far through email. Transcripts are verified on nursingcas and application is sent in. Are they still conducting the interviews the same way as they are described on their website?

Applied last night and already got confirmation that they received my application.  For those who have gotten a "hold" already, what are your stats?

Does the confirmation come Rosalind or nursingcas?

When you asked for feedback- were they helpful? Best of luck 🙏🏽
