How to Ace the Anesthesia Interview
You have the experience and the grades, and you’ve filed your application. Now the wait is over, you have a CRNA school interview and it’s finally time to show that you have what it takes to excel in this course of study and become a skilled CRNA. As you prepare, it’s good to know what to expect from, and how to master your interview.
The first thing to remember for your interview is that first impressions make a huge impression. Dress the way you want to be perceived. Being perceived as competent and professional is what will leave an impressive response. Leave the shorts and t-shirt at home and upgrade to a polished, clean and well-groomed appearance. Tame that extreme hair style and tone down the makeup to present a competent and confident candidate.
Once you’ve extended greetings, with a firm and positive handshake, and general pleasantries have been exchanged, it will be time for questions and answers. The questions will come in two types: clinical and personal.
The clinical questions will test you medical knowledge to see if you have the education to be a good candidate for the CRNA program offered. A good way to prepare for these questions is to review what you have already learned; spending extra time and energy on any procedures you might have had trouble with in the past. It’s also a good idea to read up on any new information regarding the world or anesthesia. The interviewer will want a candidate who is fluent in the current technology.
As for personal questions; these may seem intrusive but your interviewer needs to see what kind of person they are going to admit into their school. Studying to become a CRNA is an expensive, time consuming, stress inducing leap into the medical field. They need to know that you can handle the demands of this program. Though the questions may seem a little arbitrary, they will paint a picture of your personality and personal aptitude for this educational endeavor. Answer honestly; they aren’t looking for perfection but a good solid candidate.
The biggest thing to remember is not to panic. You know what you want to do with this education and where you are headed. The more you can show your interviewer your knowledge and personality, the better your chances for success.
