Good to hear! So how soon did they let you know from when you interviewed? How many people were in your group?

I was cross trained in Surgical Trauma ICU, Medical ICU, CardioVascular ICU, and Coronary Care ICU. However I chose to work in STICU and have been there for almost 6 years now. I have my CCRN, TNCC, ASLS, ABLS, ACLS, and PALS as well as I obtained my Instructor cert for ACLS and PALS. I interviewed last year (late, Dec 19) and was placed on the waiting list. My interview was this past thursday (nov 4th) and I found out on Saturday via US mail. There were about 13-15 people in my group. They take anywhere from 30-40 students after interviewing somewhere over 75. They decide then and there. So it is a benefit to interview early. It is a great school. I have had many friends graduate from there. As I said don't BS, if you don't know it, tell them "i don't know"....Good luck

thanks for the info. Did they ask clinical questions? Any surprises? thanks again and congrats!

your clinical question is based upon your experience...ie....DO NOT tell them you have used a piece of equipment that you have never used before, same goes with drips and drugs....know you receptor sites, swan numbers in relation to various types of shock....good luck
