Thank you for the help! Happy to report that I ended choosing UCSF and was able to get that relocation bonus.

Moving from the east coast to the Bay area (or potentially Palo Alto haha). Basically trying to decide between two different hospitals (UCSF vs Stanford) and all the possible financial help. Moving expenses will be a hard reality -- so seeing if anyone on here knew if UCSF has offered any in the past... (before I ultimately play ball with recruitment/management). didn't know if unionized hospitals had rules and were known never to offer. PS. Stanford didn't offer any relocation bonus but offered a sign-on bonus instead!... that could act as/offset moving expenses $$ Thanks in advance for the help and guidance! Feel free BTW to bring forward any other helpful decision-making thoughts/info on either hospital -- anything that you think is useful to know. I don't know much ?

Seeing if anyone can share/shed light about receiving interviews primarily for the 'Intensive Cardiac Care Unit' and/or 'MICU' openings? Simply wondering if realistically, I should move on. Hahaha ?

It appears that today could be the earliest an applicant could hear about a panel interview invite for the Spring 2021 cohort. Best of luck. Please post with any updates/ if you happen to get invited! Thanks!

Sending all the luck to everyone that applied! Hoping for the best! ?

Good luck to everyone that applied this year! Hoping we all get interview invites during these couple of weeks. ??

For anyone that took a new grad ICU position at Duke, I would love to hear about your experiences thus far (even better If you happen to have landed in the CTICU or SICU). I was fortunate enough to receive a couple of offers and I’m just trying to learn if Duke is the best move for me. Feel free to PM if that’s more comfortable. Thank you!

I answered the app question "I can start my job on or after" with "9/1/2020" because I ultimately preferred to be in the Oct. 5 cohort... IF EVER..I'm just putting feelers out if anyone did a similar thing but has gotten some movement/interviews? My app still read "Application Under Review" and part of me is hoping that maybe all these interview invites are for the Aug. 17 cohort? Or should I just accept my fate -- That it looks like I'm not going to be a UC Davis Nurse Resident? ??

Thanks @lmr0711. They did it via email this morning.

CONGRATS to everyone who got offers! ? And good luck to those still waiting ?? I was fortunate to get an offer as well. Hello TMC Sarofim ICU! ??

@quarantinenewgrad any intel on how many critical care nursing positions? ??

Please share your experiences. I was just curious how interviews (and the discussions) have gone regarding rotations that have been largely virtual (instead of traditional) due to the pandemic. I've wondered about seniors who have lost their practicums or capstones. I also wonder about instances where your clinical experience for the specialty you hoped to purse/apply for (e.g. Peds) was completely virtual due to COVID-19. Are you just unfortunately out of luck of trying to have it as your first job? Are nurse managers understanding? Thank you!

By chance, does anyone know the appropriate email I should use to ask a question about updating my application? Since applying, I have only now received my Spring semester grades. I wanted to potentially forward them that. Thanks in advance! And good luck to everyone that applied! ?

When did you put your application through? Thank you and good luck on the interview! ?

To anyone that applied on May 5th or later: Did any of your status change to "Application Under Review"? I'm asking for a friend... ??

Murse Matcha to the rescue! For those accepted/entering the program in the summer, I'm happy for whomever gets him as a student mentor. He's a good one!

I agree. It doesn’t get easier when you’re fortunate enough to be holding another program’s acceptance for a fraction of Duke’s price. I wonder what the record is for the LEAST amount an incoming ABSN student had to pay themselves (after any need-based aid and/or scholarships were factored in)? As much as I would pick Duke first among all the programs I applied for, cost is a big concern of mine (still with loans looming from my Masters at a pricey Ivy). Thus, this state school acceptance of mine for around ~10K (that will essentially give me the same degree/the same ultimate job) is shaping up too hard to pass up. ??

If i’m lucky enough to get in and get the aid I need, I woul be relocating from NYC too. ? It would be a hard decision because SUNY Downstate’s pricetag is pretty great and affordable.

If they decide to repeat how they’ve done it the past 2 years, orientation/first day of classes would happen right after Memorial Day again. So maybe, there’s a big chance it could be as early as May 28 this year. (All speculation in my part.)

It was. I got the email on Tuesday morning saying that I had an interview the next day (Wednesday morning). So I already had it. A relaxed, conversational phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes.

Like you two, I received one last Thursday as well. I got a follow up email this past Tuesday with my interview date. Hope this helps you

Under Faculty Review ?

Did anyone apply for the HEA scholars program?

Likewise with it being my 1st choice, but I still cannot get myself to fully justify the cost. Taking a trip in the meantime to help distract me from this waiting. ?

So relieved that this site is back and running. Any updates from anyone?
