[justwannagrad]

Just wanted to start a thread about people that have been admitted into Barry University's class graduating in 2015, and will be starting next January 2013. Just wanted to get in touch with my future classmates, I am from California and will be moving out there in January.

marthagp, you won't hear anything from them until your application is complete. I would recommend taking your gre and getting those scores submitted ASAP. They have already had several rounds of interviews and I'm sure they are getting close to being full.

Ceh511...I will ask when I interview on monday when we will find out the clinical sites. I am planning on choosing ocala (anyone else pick there or does anyone recall hearing of anyone there choosing that site? I know they are limited there and was wondering if it is already full). My lease is up Aug 23 and I need to know if I should extend it a few months or plan on relocating so I hope they will tell me :)

Just received my acceptance yesterday from the july 23 interview. I will be joining you guys in jan!!!! Can't wait to meet you all!!!!

Hey all! I also just received my acceptance yesterday from the July 23rd interview. I will also be moving from out of state and I was really unsure of what to choose for a clinical site. I chose South FL. Any input on the sites? Has anyone heard anything from former/current students regarding them?

[ufblondi]

Jacyln, were you from Michigan? I think i was sitting right next to you and one of the last to interview

[marthagp]

Does anyone know if there will be an interview session in August ? Also, congrats to all that have been accepted. It must feel awesome.

[JaclynSRNA]

ufblondi,

YES! That's me! that waiting was terrible! All turned out just fine in the end :) Cheers!

[ufblondi]

I'm not sure what was worse...waiting to interview or waiting to hear if accepted! They just told me today I have to get my ccrn certification though! Guess I'll be studying for that along with taking the 2 head start classes.

marthagp, I do believe they have a session in august..they will interview until full. You should call/email and ask..they are very helpful and quick to respond.

They just called me the other day for an interview August 22nd! Does anyone know if everyone accepted/being offered a position either has or is being required to take their CCRN. I have not taken the test yet and am thinking they are going to make that one of the provisions. If that is true I will be taking a chem and CCRN....FUN FUN : )

[ufblondi]

Anybody know what book we will be using for chem/physics in a few weeks?

[ufblondi]

Coloradogirl....ccrn isnt required. I think they decide if they want you to take it based on how you do on the test and your experience. They asked me a few clinical questions and since i told them we rarely use swans and hemodynamic monitoring on my unit unless they are a liver patient then i think that is why they decided i should take it. I don't really mind though. it's just going to make me a better nurse by studying for it and i would much rather study/take ccrn instead of having to retake the gre! (which i have heard they require of some ppl too)

I've submitted my application for the Jan 2014 start and am waiting to hear back, I've been reading all the good posts, especially about Orlando. I was planning on that being my first choice as I have family in Melbourne. I have 5 years of high acuity ED experience in San Francisco as well as a stint of rotor wing flight experience with successful intubations. Have any of you already in the program had classmates without ICU experience?

it starts the second Monday of January
