Gotcha! I'm gonna be a potential January '27 cohort member. Just stalking around now trying to best prepare. Thanks for answering my question

how much ICU exp did you have?
So obviously everyone has to have their certs done prior to application
I got into a neuro ICU - and I love it there - you still get super critical patients but I feel like the pace is a little slower which was perfect for me as a new grad. 2 years next month. I however, needed the FULL 2 years to be 100% comfortable in taking the next step. Others may not need it. I learned so much more in the past year than my first year in the ICU.

I started my nursing cohort with 110 and graduated with 21. Many underestimate the time commitment that you need for this program. Many try to work and not put in the time needed and the school does not make you sign contracts not to work if they are unable to keep up it's likely that they may have underestimated the time commitment.

So you got your CCRN? It's not actually a requirement for Keiser right? But I guess everyone gets it anyway?
Gotcha! I start in a neuro/vascular ICU this month.
Keiser is my top program right now (mostly because of location and the fact that it's a front loaded program).
