    Oh my God! The grad school I applied to called me today for an interview-it's on thursday!!! I am so excited it's not even funny. Oh yeah, and my palms were totally sweaty while I was on the phone! I really, really want to get into this MSN program to become an acute/critical care adult NP. Now I'm trying to get prepared for questions they'll ask me. All I can come up with is the obvious one: why do you want to become an NP? Or maybe where am I thinking of working after school, like with which population-rural, urban, etc? Suddenly my mind is a big blank! Also, I get the Sigma Theta Tau leadership journal in the mail and I wrote them a letter to the editor and they printed it in the last journal. Do you guys think it would be dorky to bring it in to show them on my interview? Thanks!

    Thank you!!! I'm excited too but starting to feel nervous as well! I read an article in the fall issue of the Nursing Honor Society journal (Reflections on Nursing Leadership) about how you know when you finally feel like a nurse. I identified with the article so much that I decided to write a short letter to the editor about it, and they printed it in the most recent issue. That was so cool seeing my name in there! My interview tomorrow is for UMASS-Worcester Graduate School of Nursing for the MSN program with a focus on adult acute/critical care NP. I think I'm going to make my husband do a "mock" interview with me tonight when he comes home from work, so I can practice for tomorrow! -Christine

    Good luck today!!! When I interviewed it was the typical why did you choose this track vs another..... what are your strengths/weaknesses etc, past experiences etc. After the interview it took about 2 wks to get my acceptance letter. Of course I interviewed in March, and the program started in May.

    Wishing you the best of luck today, you are gonna do great!

    Thank you cardiotrans! I found out today right at the end of the interview that they accepted me, so I'm so relieved! And excited! Classes start in August, but they said I could take one of the classes (Advanced Pathophysiology) if I wanted to in May and June. I may actually do that so I can enjoy one class by itself. Did I mention how excited I am?!!? :hatparty: :hatparty: :hatparty: :hatparty:

    Hey, as an experienced NP student, do you have any advice or tips for me about how to do well in graduate school? And also, how can I speed up time so I can start taking my classes now? Just kidding!
