Anyone heard back about cross training yet? I know a few people that also haven't heard back yet.

Hi everyone! 
iil still in my third semester of ADN but wanted to see if this was possible for me in the future. I see on their website the NICU required a BSN, but I've also heard of hospital claiming that and then still hiring ADN... so my question was for anyone that was offered an interview for NICU, were you all BSN? Maybe I will try for other units and attempt to transfer later but my dream is to start in NICU. Thanks everyone!

If you scroll down on that website it tells you what units are accepting ADN for this cohort but NICU was not one of them, it might vary with cohorts.

Does anyone have an idea or was anyone able to ask on how many candidates they are taking overall or in specific units.

By the looks of it from previous posts, they take about 50 for each cohort and it's anywhere from 3-6 each unit. It just depends!
