Sooooo, I'm guessing interview invites are being distributed super sporadically? I've definitely been on high alert all week. Still nothing. 

I got an invite via email yesterday.... I agree... it’s very periodic. Interviews go all the way to the end of November so don’t give up hope yet!

I'm getting nervous about everything interview-related!  I think my nerves are up as I've been waiting for weeks to hear if I made it into one of the other programs I applied to. It's been a bit frustrating.

Me too!! I’ve practiced and practiced. There’s no way to simulate how nervous you get when you’re  in-front of the panel. How was your first interview? 
 

I’ve interviewed once before. They asked me these questions: 

-what have I done to prepare myself for school

- how will I bear the financial burden

-probed me about my priorities 

- ask me how I would treat post-op hypotension( don’t take questions like this at face value, ask them questions back to figure out why your patient is hypotensive ect, then answer) 

- tell about a time you were under pressure 

- why a DNP program 

 

that’s all I can really remember!

I have also done a different interview and some questions I got were:

-What lead you to wanting to be a CRNA?

-Tell us about your educational background 

-What do you do outside of work?

-Have you taken any graduate courses?

-Tell us about a challenging patient that you’ve had

-They asked about a patient with A-fib and hypotension and I had to calculate their cardiac output and then say what I would do. The answer was cardiovert

Hope these help someone! It is all so stressful. Best of luck to everyone.

I'm incredibly nervous too and have been trying to practice my answers but who knows how my nerves will be that day and whether I'll even remember them. Best of luck to all of you!

FYI for anyone who has already interviewed.  Check the application portal.  I received an admissions offer through the portal, but did not receive a phone call or an email.
