Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

I interviewed today and was offered one of six resident positions. I lost it. The panel laughed and said my reaction was the best one so far. ?

I was asked nine questions. They were along the lines of "Tell me about yourself; How will you contribute to VA care; Flexibility and describe a time when it was required; Career goals; Rate yourself 0 - 10 in the following aspects, etc.". I was sweating the whole time, but displayed a cool (I think) exterior.

It starts towards the end of September, so plenty of time for me to go over all my material from school and beef up my knowledge so I don't look like a total dunce.

I will periodically update this thread with all my trials and tribulations for those who are interested in applying for a spot in the future and want to know what the year will look like.

They just told me I would be blacklisted if I leave the program

Specializes in hospice, HH, LTC, ER,OR.

Thats insane that they would blacklist you!

 

Yea blacklisted is crazy. Do you mean blacklisted from the VA or just re-entering the fellowship program?

Specializes in ICU/Med-Surg.

Has anyone been on a waitlist? I was told today that they will put me on a waitlist and notify me if anyone forfeit his/her spot... disheartening but another hurry up and wait game I guess
