Specializes in Neuro / Vascular ICU CCRN, SCRN.

Hey y’all I’m currently looking for an online program that offers the acute care np track and also any tips to getting accepted into these programs by making my application more competitive. I recently applied to University of South Carolina this past semester but disappointedly was not accepted. I’m hoping for somewhere that is mostly online with only a few on campus visits. I have done some research but most places I have looked at are hybrid programs which require you to be on campus many times each semester. I will be based out of SC. As for my experience I have 3 years of vascular icu / neurosurgery icu at a level one trauma center as well as an additional 2 years in neuroscience icu at a different level 1 trauma center (where I currently am). I have obtained my CCRN, SCRN and am currently working on my CNRN. I am involved in my unit and was a charge nurse at my previous unit for 2 years. I have great letters of recommendation from managers, NPs, and even some MDs. My biggest downfall is my GPA which is a 3.1. I am just curious of any insight anyone may have about programs and tips for my applications. I was very discouraged about not being accepted this last semester and I appreciate any help at all! ☺️
