Hi all, does anyone go to Georgetown/interviewed? I have an interview scheduled and was wondering how it is? Clinical questions? Emotional intelligence questions?? Thanks!

Sure! I have 3 1/2 years of experience at surgical/trauma ICU (also have 3 years ER experience prior to that). CCRN & CEN.
@RapidNurse19 This is my 2 cents. I have been fortunate enough to interview across the country this cycle and get multiple offers. from my experience, once you get the chance to interview, it means your stats are good enough for the program. The interviews are a huge part of the process and that's the part that is hard to quantify. I know of some places where I got in ahead of others with seemingly better stats and others where I got in over others who I had seemingly better stats than. My philosophy is just believing I deserve a seat in the program once I make it to the interview regardless of everyone else's stats and sell myself with confidence. Remember, the real thing that makes us stand out is our story, that's what truly makes us stand out. Stats in itself could be similar across the board and not the deciding factor also because stats don't necessarily factor in quality. Quality of schools attended, hospitals worked at, and acuity of patients cared for.
I hope this helps.
Hi all! I was also and accepted and will be attending, I’m so excited! Has anyone made a facebook group? I will be moving across the country too!

I have 3 1/2 years in a level one trauma surgical ICU, work mostly charge, run the mentor program, preceptor and have CCRN. 3 years in telemetry acute care doing same roles. I agree though, it’s all about making it to the interview and shining there. My science GPA from undergrad was definitely lower than the average, but I took a biochemistry class and did well so I think that helped.
