   Wasn't it just last week that we were all freaking out and we FINALLY got accepted. And now we are freaking out about the ability of finding a job after we get our degrees. Just funny how 1 week makes a difference!

   Hey guys! So I was wondering if any of y'all out there are as concern as I am with how the job market looks for nurses right now. As I am reading more and more articles lately, apparently, this "shortage" of nurses that I've been hearing so often loo...

    Thanks for the info KN4321! I wonder how much longer this "2nd interview" process will go on. At this point, I know they have talked to more than 16 people. And from what it looks like, they are scheduling more people this week if candidates are gett...

    I think it means that the Adult CNS track is currently "full" and so they are giving you an option of whether you would still like to be admitted to the school as an "undeclare/undecided" and so you would choose something else. I applied to the Psych...
