Both are great programs, I'm in the ODU program and of course I have my biased opinions. What specific questions do you have?

What type of questions were you asked during the interview(s). What are they looking for? I finish up my BSN this December, will only have one year ICU experience (surgical) by then but I have about 30 science credits besides my nursing stuff, e.g. 1 yr college physics, 1 yr gen chem, 1 yr O chem, etc. Do you think this will be enough?

I had 1 1/2 years of ICU experience. Spend some time studying for the GRE, as long as you get above 1500 you should be fine. Tey didn't drill me with questions. I sat at a table with 3 other individuals and felt very comfortable. They explained what the program intails and asked me what questions I had. If you are offered an interview you should feel that they already know your qualified, but they want to put your face with your name. Your personality if very important. Don't be cocky, and if they ask you any question, don't give them some bull@#% answer because they can see right through it. They are looking for people that can play well with others. If you having any more questions, let me know, I'd be glad to help you out. Good luck!
