I just submitted mine this Friday and she said she would look over it on Monday. She also said they have about 100-120 applicants and they pick 20-25. So the odds are good. She said she is trying to personally call every applicant and interviews will be this month with final decisions by the beginning of April. I am just wondering what exactly they are looking for? What was your background (gpa, preceptorships, volunteer experience, what school)? Did you have any additional certifications (ACLS, PALS, etc)?

I did today and have an interview Monday. I applied Friday. I know they have interviewed 15 people so far and plan to interview 75!!!!!! She said she has not had that many applicants yet and thinks she will get a lot this week. She said she was looking to get 100-150 applicants. I would really recommend calling Laura (she's in charge of the internship). I have already called her twice and she now remembers me. She is very friendly and it is good to get your foot in the door. Did you do both the paper application and the online one?

What was the interview like? Did you take the medication math test? Was it just like the study guide that they sent out? Congrats on your interview!!!!!! What is your background like (EMT, ACLS, etc.)?

The medication test is very similar to the review. The interview was very laid back, nothing to be worried about. I do not have ACLS or EMT but have worked and volunteered in various hospitals.

Were you a CNA? Thanks for the information. I'm already starting to get a little nervous!
