Case/CCF 2012 Interview forum

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

hello all,

I just received my notice for interview request at Case Western and was wondering if any other prospective students had as well. I'm also wondering if anyone knows exactly when interviews are being conducted this year. Based on what I have read, they started interviews in November last year, which is a little later than when they had conducted them in previous years. Okay, feel free to keep this topic going and/or PM me. Thanks!

hi RealNurse419 Do u have ur clinicals at CCF . Did you ask for it or do they assign you ? Do they go by where you work to assign you the clinical site. I interviewed couple weeks ago . waiting to hear

Congrats statABG for getting in .

They give you the option of rating clinical sites 1-3 (1 being the site you want the most). But pretty much everyone in my class wanted to be at CCF for clinical, so I think they went by our experience and put us at the place that was most similar to the unit we came from.

When do they give an option for the rating of clinical sites ? Is it close to start date ? Do they send a letter out ?

They did not ask us about it in the interview. Just wondering .......

Also I know u r a current student. how is ur experience so far. I am kinda getting nervous.

RNdreams09 are you in for Fall 2013 too? They don't give you that option until around the spring time. School is going good so far. It's tough, but it's doable. You should be nervous, very nervous lol. Just kidding, you can do it if you're dedicated.

thanks RealNurse419

Yes , I am in for Fall 2013. If you get your clinical at CCF, u get the stiped ,do u also keep your seniority as a CCF employee , so technically you are not quitting ur CCF employment when you start school in 2013. Is that correct? any other benefits?

thanks for ur input.

Congrats! I don't know much about CCF because I don't have clinical there. Sorry I couldn't be of any help with that, but send me a pm with your email and I'll send you mine if you have any more questions! Enjoy this last year of freedom!

They don't make final decisions until about April, from what I am told. Keep the faith!

I'm already in the program. I just started this past August. Yes, Case was my first choice. Love it, but it's stressful!! lol

RealNurse419,

Can you tell me about the program? What's your schedule like? How soon do you get in the OR? What's the atmosphere like there? How are the professors? Are you in class every day? Thank you so much!
