Anyone apply to Rutgers University CRNA DNP program to begin 2020? Here are my stats in case anyone wants to compare:

CCRN, TCRN, PALS, ACLS

30+ CRNA shadowing hours

This is straight from their website:

"After thorough review of all files by the admissions committee, select individuals will be invited to interview on November 7 or 8, 2019"

Anyone have any updates from Rutgers? Been checking online but still says no decision. Getting anxious waiting

Same here, not sure when they will send interview invites since they're still about 2 months away ?

I’ll update if I hear anything as well!

Based off last year, aren't invitations suppose to go out this week?

That’s what I’m thinking!! ?

Good luck to everyone that gets an interview. I went last year and it was a tough interview.

I would suggest start really studying clinical / CCRN material now cuz their interview was heavy in clinical questions. Since I studied beforehand that really helped me out! Also make sure you have an official copy of your CCRN certificate to bring.

Especially know medications and what receptors they act upon and their mechanism of action. Especially fentanyl! *Hint hint, wink wink* Apparently no one ever gets that one they said and I basically got offered a position right then and there.

Good luck!

Last year I got an email on Tuesday September 18, 2018 for an invite to interview.

Hope that helps any, lol
