I checked on my computer and phone and nothing.

I feel like we would have heard by now. Last year's thread people received waitlist notices on December 20th so maybe soon!

Literally nothing, no rejection or waitlist just crickets over here ?

Just got the email for the waitlist!

Congrats!! That's amazing! Do they update your portal too? Has anyone else heard anything?

Totally second this. I think toward the middle end of my interview I got nervous and started rambling a bit LOL. But I absolutely fell in love with the school. The students seemed to love it. The environment seemed supportive and close knit. It's one of the more expensive schools, but I'd spend that money in a heartbeat knowing I'm going to be supported and cheered on to succeed.

Good luck everyone! Anyone else SUPER nervous? I've had a pit in my stomach since yesterday ?

Supposedly it's very heavily emotional intelligence based. That's what I've heard from people who went to Columbia. But I'm still going to prepare for both clinical and EI just in case. I'm interviewing the 28th! Good luck everyone!!

GUYS check your email!! They're out!

What if the plot twist is they already sent out interviews and none of us in this entire thread happened to get one ? my brain is beginning to feed me anxious thoughts like this because howww are they planning on interviewing next week and all we get is complete radio silence literal days before the alleged interview dates ?

Nothing over here yet ?

This wait is diabolical ??

If it makes you feel better, I quit NP school with only 2.5 semesters left until graduation. And I wasn't even pregnant LOL. I have no kids, not married, no overwhelming life circumstance other than I realized that far in that I actually completely hated it. And that was really taking a toll on my mental health at the time. I told myself the same thing you did: what's the point of finishing a degree I don't plan on using? It was a very difficult time because I tend to care a lot about what other people think and everyone around me kept telling me to just finish it. Even one of my professors scheduled a call with me one night after I told him my intent to quit (not to brag but I was apparently one of his best students and was doing very well in the program overall —3.9 GPA) and spoke with me for over an hour trying to reason with me and get me to change my mind. But I was done. I valued my mental health. Like another poster said, it just was not the right time. I quit with no regrets. That was 2 years ago. Occasionally I do wonder what could have been if I did finish the degree. But I just do not see myself as a provider in that capacity. While I'm still stuck at the bedside, I'm trying to figure out what my next path is and make sure it's something that I will genuinely enjoy. Like people said in this thread, you can always go back or transfer your credits. I'm considering perhaps switching to nursing education or even just finishing the NP now that I'm in a better place and using it for education because education is something I am actually passionate about. But I listened to my heart 2 years ago and my heart just wasn't in it. So I wholeheartedly believe I made the best decision for myself at the time. I'm sure you will as well. Best of luck :)

I wasn't sure if that would be an option since I'm doing FNP and I was under the impression that only acute care NPs could work in the ICU setting. But I guess I'll see and if CRNA means having to go back to the ICU as a RN for another year or 2 then that is something that I will do.

I also feel like part of the reason I made my decision for NP vs CRNA was burnout and fear of rejection so I 1000% understand how you're feeling. I think it's a great thing that you were aware of how unsafely you were being trained in the AGACNP program and took action about it because at the end of the day it's your license on the line! Looks like we're about the same age and got a lot of thinking to do. There's still time to follow our dreams!! Best of luck and hope it all falls into place for you.
