I am! I wonder how many applicants they had during this cycle. I'm waiting for someone else to ask them if they're done sending interview invites 😝

I did call and was told they are sending invites up until September 20th. They also said to email/call if I have not heard anything by the date. 
Let's stay positive 🤞

you're the real MVP @MikeAffy

Specializes in Neuro/Trauma ICU.

I also applied here! Anybody know how many people they interview each cycle?

Y'all! Call the school number that is in their website and they will give you the status of your application. I was told I'm in the folder of the people that are to be reviewed next week

Received my rejection letter with no interview 😞 . I am hopeful I can improve my application! Good luck everyone!

Oh no! I am so sorry that you didn't get an interview. Did they tell you how you could improve your application, or was it just a rejection?

Okay I hope you get some good news! Do you have an idea of why they rejected you? 
GPA related or? 
want to share your stats?

I am sure some of my co-workers will recognize me here. But I don't mind. 

1 year Float Pool Trauma 1, 2 Years Trauma-Neuro-Surgical ICU Trauma 1, Charge RN. I have shadowed for over 26hrs. 

GPA 3.4 (Suspected weakness). Although like a 3.5-3.7 average my last two years of nursing school. I did the Barry's Nurse Anesthesia Class and got an A. (All programs accepted this as a pre req for Chem). I am suspecting that I need to take a stronger chemistry course.

 

I have my CCRN, TNCC, ENPC, TCAR, (working on my TCRN). I volunteer coach highschool sports. I am involved in Critical Care Comittees on my unit. 

I was hoping that it was strong enough for an interview as that is where I would need to really sell myself. Unfortunately not the case. I have seen that you have interviews for UofM and MSA so I am very interested in honest feeback from you! Thanks!

Was your science GPA also around the 3.4ish? Honestly your stats sound fine. I really hope you can get feedback so you can buff up what you need to!
