Hi everyone! I didn't see a post for people applying to Union's CRNA program for 2024 start, so I figured I would start one. I figured whoever wanted to could share their experience, stats, interview dates, etc.
As for me, I have a little over 3 years experience, 1 year and 8 months in Med/Surg ICU, after that I transitioned to CTICU and have been here for 1 year and 7 months. I have my CCRN and CSC, science GPA is around 3.5, cumulative GPA is around 3.8. I also have been a preceptor and charge nurse in my unit.
Good luck to everyone!! I look forward to chatting with you all!
I just felt so unwelcome and rushed at my interview and I don't know how to feel about it. I did so much research and so much preparation just for them to ask me 5 questions and they all seemed annoyed with me. This is so discouraging

Sounds different than what I've heard about them before. Were the questions EI questions or clinical?
I feel like often time these schools know who they want and just do extra interviews as fillers.
I'm sorry about your experience

It was a mix. But even from the first question it just seemed so negative. It made me so nervous. They definitely know who they want already. You can tell.

I'm sorry that you had this experience! I did not feel unwelcome at all. The students that I talked to and showed me around the facility were very nice. During the interview, they weren't super friendly but each school has their own interview strategy as far as how they act when asking questions. My interview seemed short. I think it lasted 10-15 min.

Did you have a mix of E/I and clinical questions as well ?
Did it seem like they had clinical questions preplanned or let you say your typical pts and devices and asked based on that?
It seemed like they already wanted to ask me about post-op open heart patients since that's the patient population I frequently work with. I feel that my answer to each question influenced the next question they asked though.

From last years thread, it seems like its a mix of clinical and EI, some had mainly EI. It is also a panel interview.
