Is anyone applying here or previously applied here? I know this is a newer program so any info would be appreciated as to the interview process? Strengths/weakness of the program?

We live here in Wisconsin interviewing on the 27th

Hi everyone, I to inquired the week interview invitations were extended (as I did not even receive the "application is complete, these are the upcoming dates email that many of you received in January.) and was told that I should have received an interview offer. I'm scheduled the 27th and wondering if any of you have received the "more instructions as the time gets closer" follow up email?

[CHF24]

Nothing here. They will eventually email us regarding the interview instruction. In the meantime, it’s just a waiting game.

by the way, does anyone know if the interview is more personality/behavioral or clinical based?

[Davida Berenz]

Thanks for your reply. I'm probably a little paranoid with not receiving the first 2 emails from them. I have not been able to find out any information regarding their interview process except that it is 30 minutes with the program coordinator and then 30 minutes with the interview panel.

As soon as I get an email regarding instructions, I’ll update the group. Very limited info out there regarding the interview process. I’m just gonna stick studying my CCRN & CMC material, but overall just gonna stick to cardiovascular as that’s my specialty.

The program assistant, mention the interviews are only 30 minutes long.

I have accepted another offer. This is too disorganized for me to even consider and for these reasons I am out. If I hear anything I will put a update. I have a few friends who are there. It is clinical/ behavioural. Good luck everyone.

I do not find that it is disorganized. I received an email from the administrative assistant telling me that I was selected for an interview to contact her; in which I did and I’m interviewing on the 27th. I was then informed in the same conversation that further information will be emailed as the date gets closer, which I’m assuming will be the week of! I have heard from individuals that are in the program that the interview is mainly personality based with a few clinical questions.

Good Luck!

I'm interviewing the 27th in the morning. What date is yours? Are you applying to LA and TX schools as well the upcoming year, as back up?

27th late in the evening. And no I’m not applying to local schools. It’s time to venture out like my good ole days in Boy Scouts!!

Curious as to what you have heard if you are willing to share. Good luck to you at your chosen school, I wish you the all the best.

I say they are disorganized because 2 people had to inquire to know they were invited. What if they did not inquire? They would have never known. Compared to other schools the application process is not organized. But this is just my opinion.

Good luck y'all we got this!

"Dear Nurse Anesthesia Emphasis Applicant,

We are looking forward to meeting you next week! ...."

I received this email around 12:50pm CST, regarding instructions.

[cajunnurse, BSN, RN]

Received the same email as well. I’m guessing most people are interviewing on the 27th? Are you flying into Milwaukee?!

[Davida Berenz]

I received the same email. Interesting that this email said to plan on 90-120 minutes for the interview?? I suppose just prepare for anything at this point lol
