They are pretty laid back with their interviews, not a lot of clinical questions for me- I think they base it on your experience because other people in my class did get asked some clinical questions. They also want to know how you react under press...
Hi CRaus, Generally, most programs prefer adult ICU. This includes any high-acuity ICU, including cardiac, surgical, neuro, and medical. There are a few programs that will accept NICU, and I'm pretty sure there are also a few that accept PICU. But...

I did read the entire conversation, if that's what you want to call it. I chose to comment on a single post because otherwise I would be here all day. Trust me, I have plenty to say, but my more experienced colleagues have already beat me to the pu...

GoGetter, Here are just a couple of things (directly from their website) that jumped out at me when looking at my current program before applying: Selection ProcessThe Program accepts up to 14 students per academic year. Therefore, all applicants w...

I used Kaplan for the GRE. I interviewed at both Northeastern and Boston College. They were very similar regarding the interviews, I would say Boston College was a little more laid back than Northeastern. Both were all day long, they tell you about...
Agreed, but not every icu has awesome people in it like yours. You have to be proactive (like Go-Getter), ask questions and do research on your own to increase your knowledge every chance you get. I have been to 3 interviews, and the pattern has be...
