I got a date. it is on 9/7 at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany.
do u know about this hospital, or anyone taking it there w me?
should i grab this one now? even if i grab it now, i can still try to change site whose date is not too far since I put down one day cancellation notice, right?
i'm reading other pple's cpne experiences from this location. there were a few negative things. i want this weekend date to be a memorable one, not a disaster.
do CEs stay in one location, or do they rotate and move to different site?
why does utica location seem to have so many passing, if ce are all the same?
(i applied for cpne on 7/9 with ready date 7/9, and it' s only 2 months after. for specific locations, i checked all in npac. i was hoping that i take it in august.)

im not sure as to whether or not ce's rotate sites. can only tell you this. i heard a lot of negative things about st peters before i went last december..but i ignored it because i felt prepared. i loved it.it was fine for me. out of six students, three passed, three failed. the 3 who passed were ok with st peters. the three who failed, probably not. if you stick with st peters, be prepared and know your stuff. i thought the ce's were friendly and great. i felt they wanted you to succeed. good luck to you.
thx.
can't even imagine the joy u must've had when u were done.
some wrote they rotate within that region, but some say they don't.
well...i checked all hospitals because i was willing to take any site.
i guess i just take this site.
