   I applied for the Winter 2018 (the one that starts in February) cohort. I was offered (and accepted) a position that starts next week! I think they called with the offer the week after Thanksgiving.

   Hey! I was a little busy with the NCLEX this week (Crushed it!!), but I wanted to pop in and offer some answers to your questions! I posted earlier about my overall feelings about the program, so I won't ramble on about that again, but the TLDR versi...

   That's a great question I wish I would have thought to ask today! I'm not sure how many people they interview, but it seemed today quite a few people were there. I think one of the recent graduates said that their cohort had 39 people in it.

   Full disclosure: I am a text book hoarder and still have all of them even though I don't really read them. If you wanted I would be happy to let you look them over to see how you feel about them. A lot of classes ask us to use the nursing diagnosis ...

   Well, I got the bundle and regretted it and I think a lot of my classmates that purchased it felt the same. I think it did come with some codes for the ebooks and a fake EHR software thing we used maybe once or twice. We also had access to ATI for so...

   I just popped in to see what happened for you all! I'm sorry to hear that not everyone got an interview, but I'm sure you'll all be great nurses eventually! Congratulations to those of you that did receive good news! I'm still poking around from time...

   You're both very welcome! I'm glad I can be useful! Keep the questions coming! The admissions people kept saying it was impossible to work and do well in this program, but the the second year students at orientation told us a lot of people work thro...

    Applications are so stressful! I spent most of last fall in a bubble of constant anxiety. You'll get through it, though!! From what I remember, our applications were due around the 3rd week of January. We found out at the very end of February about ...

    So, I guess some spots opened up because I was offered a place off the wait list yesterday! I was so sure that wouldn't happen based on seeing posts here from people applying previous years for the second time, so I am still kind of in shock. I paid ...

    I have been lurking for awhile and wanted to jump in in case anyone else has been watching. I had an interview around 2 weeks ago and I received my decision this morning. Unfortunately I was waitlisted. I hope anyone else that interviewed had a bette...
