Saint Mary's CRNA Program 2020

Published

Hello everyone!

I am looking to see if anyone is applying to St. Mary's University CRNA program in MN for 2020 matriculation.

Good luck to you all!

No clinical questions! Just regular interview type questions. Honestly I was very nervous I can't really remember any specific questions, but they weren't too tough. Interviewing virtually was not difficult either and they still give you a chance to ask the students questions as well. I was definitely very impressed with (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME).

Thank you very much for posting your interview experience! I truly wish you get in! I heard (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) is amazing. What made you impressed about her? Was it her personality?

How long was your interview? Was it the full 30 min?

She's very passionate about the program and you can see and hear it in the way she talks about it. She also talked a bit about the transition of the program to DNP and you can tell how much she wants the program to succeed. At the same time, she seems very student focused and truly just wants the students to do well.

Honestly I don't know. I signed on early (did virtual) to make sure I could get the program to work and we ended up starting the interview early too. My guess would be yes?

So it is going to be a DNP program. Wow. That answers most of our questions. My last interview at Thomas Jefferson, was the same as you described. They were only focused on my personality and if I could afford the program. Because most students drop due to financial issues. DNP programs are extremely expensive! Close to 100k!

I can't find the cost of St. Mary's DNP anywhere online. Anyone know how much the program cost?

Next years program is a MSN program. I'm not sure about any further years.

Ohhhh. I was under the impression that the class we were interviewing for was DNP, but it’s actually for MSN? Got it. Thank you for the clarification.

I wonder how they'll narrow it down & choose people if they don't ask clinical questions. You know what I mean? I'm sure everyone interviewing is wonderful & I think it would be hard to choose!

No one but the interviewers knows;(. It’s all a suspense for now.
