UNF Florida New CRNA program - Interview

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

If I've overlooked any prior posts regarding this, I apologise. I wasn't able to find anything using search within the forums.

Anyhow, the program at UNF will be *officially* accredited in June, and the first class will start in August. However, since the application and interview process for that first class takes place now, before they are officially accredited and able to advertise, the number of applicants has been few and solely based upon word-of-mouth. (23 applications for 16 seats, I believe). I'm one of said applicants, and without being too presumptuous, I think there's a pretty fair chance of an interview and was looking for advice.

The program is essentially a transplant of the Jacksonville option that was previously at FIU (Florida Internation University) in south florida. The director of the UNF program used to work at FIU, and so I'm thinking that it will most likely be similar to that program.

Anyone with advice that has undergone the FIU CRNA admission interview process?

Thanks for the advice!!!! It certainly does sound stressful.

I will be joining you on the 31st. Good luck to everyone.

So, which person were you today Sweetdreams? What did you think of the interview? It was definately a nerve wrecking experience. My head still hurts:::))))

Which guy were you?!!!!! I was the lady from Texas. Yes, my head hurt, too. I understand the interviews were very different. One lady who worked at Shands said her interview lasted only 8 minutes and she seemed clearly distressed. I think mine lasted about 20 minutes, although it seemed like hours. I had only one simple clinical question. The other questions were more personal/processing, what about you? Some people said they had quite a few clinical questions, guess it was just luck of the draw. It is good to know that we will know in 2 weeks.

I really liked the faculty that I met, and I like the campus. The clinical sites seemed great.

I was the one who interviewed before you. I had clinical and personal.

Got the call-I'm in-how did everyone else fair-anxious to get started and meet my fellow classmates. Congrats to everyone for surviving the first of many trials-the interview. Can't wait to hear from everyone!

What do you mean you got the call??? When????

I got the call too!!! Saturday evening, from the program director. :balloons:

He said that packets would be forthcoming. I'm really glad he called so quickly, but I guess the main purpose was to confirm acceptance of the spots.
