@TrailRN @HornedFrogSRNA2022 I’m sure y’all did so much better than you feel!! No matter how many mock interviews and actual interviews I do, I never walk away feeling “good” about it. Hold onto hope!! T-minus 4-7 days ?

What happened? I think you’re just being too hard on yourself. Just wait!

Interviews completed! Did not go like I thought it would. Very few of the questions I expected, which, I kind of expected if that makes sense? Definitely had more clinical scenario and pathophysiology/MOA than I was expecting. A few of the non-clinical questions were just as unexpected and equally challenging. None of the why CRNA, what have you done to prepare type questions. Everyone told me it was just a “get to know you” situation, and I did feel that somewhat but they def grilled me more than I anticipated. It felt somewhat rushed, like the panel was ready to get it over with. I know they are busy and have a ton of people to interview so I’m not sure if that’s a good sign or a bad sign. I didn’t want to ramble on but at the same time I felt like I wanted more time. Maybe I’m the one who rushed? It was hard to tell. I really liked the faculty I interviewed with, they were all very nice but it was hard to get a read on anyone. Quite frankly I’m not sure how I did! It definitely could have gone better, but also could have gone way worse. I feel like for the most part they seemed happy with my answers. Now to stress for the next week!

CVICU 2022. That was pretty much my assessment of the situation as well. 

I am thinking of sending an email to them with this video.

I felt like mine was slightly awkward. Like there were pauses where it seemed like they didn’t k is who was going to be next to ask the question. I do feel like it was rushed as well. I think the first and second were 10 minutes each

Same here, very fast interviews. I had no patho/MOA questions (maybe it’s based on your years of exp?) but I also steered away from those by answering behaviorally. I definitely stumbled on one panel but tried to link it back to relevance.

I answered with weird responses and changed the ones I had reheorificed, sounded rushed, and sounded like I was very inexperienced and stupid. When I reheorificed I was too flat/ spoke too slowly so I tried to make sure I spoke more quickly and smiled a lot more… which made me look like a child. No way I’m getting in. Good luck to you all!!
