[itrust]

Is anyone applying or have submitted an application for the current cohort? The clinical narrative is taking me awhile. Share your thoughts below.

Thank you. November 11. Good luck to everyone, as I'm sure they are still sending out invites.

I'm nervous about the math test since I haven't looked at calculations since I passed boards earlier this month

Sunshyne,

Did you get the email?

[sunshyne17]

Foxessb1,

Yes. I interview Nov 6th. I'm super nervous.

[williams84]

They gave you enough time to brush up, hopefully! :-)

[sunshyne17]

lol ikr! I need to get my math for nurses book back from my friend who just started nursing school!

Sunshyne17,

I'm nervous too. What about the two hour shadow/interview. I wonder if they will ask us any questions, while on the floor. Nevertheless, I am very excited. This is an amazing opportunity.

[sunshyne17]

omg itrust - such an amazing opportunity!! I have never heard of a "shadow interview" before.

And did you read the part about the lab coat for while you are on the floor? I'm assuming closed toe heels too just in case?? I'm interviewing for med surge. I think they consider that acute care at Hershey.

[itrust]

Med-surge is definitely considered acute care, and I did read about the lab coat. Sigh _ I guess we will have to wait and see. Although I am a pretty confident person, I can't imagine being put on the spot in front of potential colleagues.

[itrust]

Closed-toe heels/flats are a great idea, I didn't even think of that. Flats may be better, I don't know how much walking will be involved.

[sunshyne17]

Right. Flats. lol I will find a pair somewhere... I don't mind being put on the spot. If you don't know, you don't know! I am more nervous about being myself and being professional at the same time. It's such a careful balance...
