Hey Everyone,

I don't see a thread for 2015 yet, so I thought I'd start one. I'm just beginning the application process, and the clinical narrative is killing me. I precepted in trauma at a trauma center, so it was get them in, get them out: usually to a rehab. I can't think of how I might have changed their lives or had a big impact. I was able to attain great skills and do frequent assessments: neuro, neurovascular, cardio, telemetry strips, etc. and do and see some great stuff, I wish I could write about that!

I'd like to hear from anyone applying now or who applied in the past. Any pointers?

Hi everyone! I am also applying, a little late albeit, and I am working on my narrative as we speak.

just checking- we didn't need to designate out preferred areas in our portfolio, correct?

Yes they suggest to not put specific unit. I am gonna apply tomorrow probably cos still working on narrative letter. I heard that the questioners they sent asking I think which unit u wanna work or not

Did you all get the questionnaire yet?

I was very happy to come across this link. Am also in the process of completing my application for the February 2015 program. I did my questionnaire last week. It was sent through a separate email that had a link to surveymonkey. Only thing left to do is the narrative. I wish all of the best as you go through the application process.

Is this reference list open for only 2 day? I sent my invitations today but still waiting. How much time they have for respond to it?

If I'm not mistaken we have 2 days to submit the emails to checkster and once received, our references have a week to complete them.

Oh that's great. I am keep pushing my reference people to submit survey in a two day. I did not know they do have one week for submitting. Great

I just got an email saying that don't try to attempt to complate 7 references. Even 3 reference would be enough. Ugh why they did not tell it earlier lol I was trying to complate at least 7 reference respond lol

Has anyone who completed the application and various things such as reference check and questionnaire received any conformation that their application is complete?
