Thanks for starting a new thread!

I applied to hem/onc and I'm currently precepting on their hem/onc unit. I take the NCLEX this December. Never worked as a CNA or anything, but I did clinical care extender for a year before nursing school. My pediatric clinical instructor works there and wrote me a letter so I hope it helps! They aren't taking very many so it is quite a long shot.

Hopefully they decide to accept every person who applied....a girl can dream, right?!?! I applied NICU! Have a previous bachelors in accounting and just received my ADN in June. I work at a large children's hospital as a PCA in the PICU.

Hopefully they don't drag out the wait longer then necessary. Good luck everyone!!!

I too applied to the Hem/Onc department. Do you know how many people they are choosing for that specific unit? I think you have a great chance since you are precepting on that unit.

She did have BSN but did not have any certifications.

I am ADN but I was accepted into an RN-BSN program.

Oh ok yeah not having certs ahead of time is their way of weeding people out nowadays. That's a bummer. I have both ACLS & PALS.

Good job on being in the ADN-BSN program! Smart move.
