Banner Nurse Fellows March 2010

Hi Awesome,

I am still waiting to hear back too. Based on the selection time for earlier cohorts I am feeling quite discouraged. During the BNF orientation they said that they are looking to notify everyone by November 20th on whether they were accepted into the program or not. Based on that date one would think that the interview process should have already started. I have almost resigned myself to the fact that I did not get picked for an interview.

Best of Luck to you!

I am also waiting to hear from Banner. But it has only been 3 weeks since apps were due, and if you consider how many apps they have to review.... Well, I think they should just now be setting up interviews. I am trying to stay positive. I didn't start to worry until this week, . Good luck to everyone!

Hi Queen Pisces,

Congrats on getting picked for an interview! How long ago did you get the phone call to set up the interview?

Also, if you don't mind sharing what are your GPA and NET test scores? I am just wondering if they have raised the bar as far as those scores are concerend compared to earlier cohorts. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

If you can tell us how long ago they notified you for an interview and how you were notified (phone,mail)I think we are curious to know as we play the waiting game. Any insight you can give us on the interview process would be great as well.

Congrats on your interview! :yeah:

Hi hobbick,

Candidates for earlier cohorts were contacted by phone to set up the interview. Don't know if they are contacting by phone this time around. Hope this helps!

The notes I took from a recent information meeting said they would notify everyone by email at the same time. So emails would be sent out to everyone on the same day stating either you were picked for an interview or you were not picked. I've been obsessively checking every email I own for the last two weeks and I haven't seen a word on it.

Hi Awesome,

I believe they send out e-mails to notify you of your selection into the program. You will get an e-mail either way, whether you got accepted or not. As far as interviews are concerned, I believe they phone you to schedule the interview. I was at the information session as well and this is how I understood it.

I have an interview this Wednesday! Yipppeee! :yeah: They notify you by phone, but it is mostly by cell phone. So make sure you have them on and charged! Good luck!
