Scranton / Wyoming Valley CRNA program

Published

Hello all I have been searching for any information on the University of Scranton/ Wyoming Valley's Nurse Anesthesia program and cannot find any recent posts. Does anyone know anything about this program or interview process?

Also, I noticed that this school is not ranked very high on the US News' ranking of Nurse Anesthesia schools. Does anyone know why some schools are ranked higher than others and do these rankings accurately reflect the quality of the school's education and the school's ability to prepare me to become a great anesthesia provider? I read the rankings with a grain of salt as I believe that with anything in life it is our own responsibility to make the best of any opportunity that we are given - whether it is at the number one school of the last ranked school. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi cvicurn. Congratulations on ur invitation for an interview at Scranton. I hope u do well. I have also applied to Scranton but I have not heard back about an interview. I really don't know too much about the school. I was attracted to the fact it was 25 months long. Maybe u might have more insight. In any case, best of luck n let me know how things went.

Will do Marco. Nervous and excited at the same time...phew!!!

I'm not sure what's happening over there. I called a couple weeks ago. They said that decisions had been made a while ago and had been submitted to the university. However the university has not mailed it. I'm not sure if that is still the case. Call them n c wut they say

I called today and it seems there is something wrong between the SOA and school of admissions. Because admissions say they are waiting to hear from School of anesthesia, and when i talked to school of anesthesia, they said everything is in admissions hands. So this is my third call in three weeks and I am exceedingly confused as to what is going on. Its already February 4th and no word. I hope they start calling soon.
