  1. I checked on my computer and phone and
  2. I feel like we would have heard by now. Last year's thread people received waitlist notices on December 20th so maybe
  3. Literally nothing, no rejection or waitlist just crickets over here
  4. Congrats!! That's amazing! Do they update your portal too? Has anyone else heard
  5. 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...
  6. Good luck everyone! Anyone else SUPER nervous? I've had a pit in my stomach since yesterday
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. Should I quit NP school?

    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...
  10. Hi everyone, I’ve been a RN for < 3 years. Anesthesia has been my dream since high school but it hasn’t been a linear path. I started as a new grad in postpartum (only job offer at the time)...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. Absolutely. I think my best course of action right now is to focus on finishing the NP degree while completing the remaining pre-reqs (CCRN, possibly GRE, more leadership exp… etc.) for CRNA
  14. Thank you for your input!! I’m 25 going on 26 this year so I feel that I do have some time. I’ve got a little over 1.5 years to finishing my NP degree. I’m hesitant to leave my current unit so...
  15. Thank you so much for your response. It’s very relieving to hear that. I’d still love to do anything else that could improve my chances even if it means going back to the ICU eventually or...
  16. Burnt out after only 6 months

    Hi everyone. I've been a nurse for ~2 years. My first ~1.5 years as a new grad nurse were in a very happy laid back specialty, but ultimately I felt like I had no "real nursing skills" and made the...
  17. Burnt out after only 6 months

    Thank you so much everyone for your responses. I have checked with HR and I do in fact need to stay for an entire year before transferring. I am so afraid of making the wrong decision. If I were to...
  18. Is ICU worth the stress?

    I second the user above me. The stress is NOT worth it, in my opinion. I recently, ~6 months ago, made the switch to a very high acuity peds cardiac ICU, and honestly, I dream about leaving every day....
  19. Kaplan vs. NCLEX

    Stick with Kaplan! Make sure you do as many practice questions as possible. The NCLEX really is about learning how to take questions and the more you practice the better you will do. To be completely...
  20. NICU or wait for peds job?

    Hi everyone. This is partly hypothetical so bear with me... I am a new grad RN in NYC where the job market is pretty tough. I've been looking for a job for a month & a half, which I know really...
  21. NICU or wait for peds job?

    I totally agree. I've had a few interviews (not peds) but I'm waiting and taking whichever offer I get first, if any. I now understand that getting your foot in the door is what is important....
