Exciting news!

I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas! I am working on some blog posts about our Christmas celebrations, so they will be coming soon!

We have some exciting news to share! Mitch has been really starting to look at schools. Over the past 6 months, we have looked at different ones, but just over the past couple months he has started to get really serious about it. There are a few schools that don't require the GRE, so he thought for those he will go ahead and send in the application. For the others that do require it he can't apply for a few more months. So for fun, he thought he would send in the ones that don't require it and just see what happens. It was still a lot of work. Those applications are 10+pages, plus multiple essays, etc! So he has spend a lot of time getting it all together.

He sent his first one off about 1 week before the deadline for this school. So honestly, I didn't even think he would hear anything. This school started accepting students and doing interviews in September, so we honestly didn't think anything of it.

About two weeks ago, he got a call back and they wanted to bring him in for an interview!! We are both really excited and I am so proud of him. He has worked really hard. Getting into CRNA school your first round is almost impossible, but none the less we are excited and this will be such good practice for him. They really want you to have over two years of ICU experience and he only has one, so he will most likely  be up against people that have a lot more experience than him. We have heard the interview process and testing he has to go do is intense, so even if nothing comes from it, he will now know what to expect when he starts interviewing for other schools.

So we know its a long shot, but if his application got there 1 day before the deadline and they still called him for an interview, at least that means they still have space, so thats a plus!

So in January, we will be flying to Pennsylvania to check out this school! We are leaving on a Thursday and his interview is on Friday! He goes in at 1:30 and has his interview and testing... they said it should take about 3-4 hours. Then we will tour the campus! Even though the stats are against us, we are excited to start this process!

So please keep us in your prayers! We are excited and nervous all at the same time. We would love for him to get in first try, and not have to stress anymore, but also living 19 hours away will be a little bit of an adjustment!
