Bumping in hopes of feedback.

Have you heard anything yet? I was told we would be finding out yesterday or today but I’m still waiting. ?

Never mind I just saw this was 2020, not 2021. I’m desperate if you can’t tell. ?

hey there are not that much NIU posts for 2021, did you apply or hear back from NIU school of nursing?

Yes, I heard about a week ago! (Via email) I got in. I got into my first pick school as well, so I think I’m going to do that one instead though.

Just waiting to see if I got admitted to NIU’s School of Nursing. Currently a second semester freshman. Anyone have any feedback on the program and even better- what jobs have you been offered/accepted after obtaining your license? Do you feel NIU’s program adequately prepared you for the workforce?

Original post was a while ago but I graduated from the program several years ago. I had a great experience. I applied to 3 new grad positions/residencies and was offered all 3. Most of my good friends had their 1st choice jobs in whatever specialty they wanted to start in. 1 friend did struggle, and went to the uni's career services for free resume and interview feedback, and had an offer pretty quickly after that.

I did their internship while I was a student and thought that experience was really valuable. I don't know that any new grad feels perfectly prepared, but I think they did the best they could.

Good luck wherever you all end up! We are fortunate to have some great options in the area, and it's definitely an interesting time to be a nursing student. Hopefully a little more normal in the coming year.
