Members are discussing updates on interview decisions, waitlist statuses, and strategies for obtaining multiple letters of recommendation for nursing programs. There is also mention of accreditation for a second campus and confusion about waitlist notifications for interviews.
Just wanted to start a thread for Thomas Jefferson University CRNA DNP applicants for 2025 start. Feel free to post your timeline of application, interviews, etc. Stats welcome too! 🙂 Good luck!!

Super quick.. they go alphabetical order, and while you wait you can ask questions and stuff to a current student. When they take you in, they ask your basic questions like why CRNA, why Jefferson etc. and then they ask one BASIC clinical question based on your experience.. and they also asked how many questions you passed the NCLEX in and what your score on the ccrn if you took it. They also asked me if I've ever been late to work. It was about 4 of them in the room. I was waitlisted and I've gotten accepted elsewhere, so I took myself off the wait list. Good luck

I appreciate your desire to help others. However, this process is highly competitive. Let's make sure everyone has a fair chance and goes into the interview with the same knowledge.
I have seen a couple of posts about “…waiting for accreditation at second campus…”. Where is the other campus? I have not seen anything on Thomas Jefferson Website suggesting another CRNA program at another campus.
