Hi friends! I know it is early, but anyone else on here that is currently applying for Samford's CRNA program or applied last year and would like to share stats? Trying to figure what my chances are on getting in this year, or if I should wait until next year re-take a few things and boost my scores/grades.
*2 years in Neuro ICU at Level 1 hospital
*Overall GPA: 3.31
*Science GPA: 3.0
*GRE: 302 (150 verbal, 152 quant)
*ACLS, PALS, CCRN
*18 hrs shadowing CRNA
*Involved in multiple committees in unit/hospital
*Student nurse & new hire RN Preceptor
*LORs from ANM, peer RN, former teacher (CRNP), & chief anesthesia resident MD (I was on night shift up until the last couple of months so I did not have a chance to establish relationships with attendings)
To prepare, I'd suggest knowing your common ICU meds. Know what they do, and how they do it. Understand your common pathophysiologies. Also, discuss leadership and educational roles you've fulfilled.
Don't be too nervous. It was a fairly simple interview. I don't think I did so hot because I got myself so worked up before thinking it was going to be TERRIBLE, that my head was swimming by the time I went back. It was NOT hard. I'm fairly certain if I don't get in it's because I let nerves get the best of me. í ½í¸‚ Good luck!
anyone gotten an email yet? I'm anxiously refreshing my email every minute. in the interview, they told me that they may send out acceptances as early as today!
Got the email this afternoon and unfortunately did not get in. Do those of you that got accepted mind sharing your stats (GRE, ICU experience, etc.) ? Hoping and praying that there's a waitlist
