Thanks for letting me know! I only interviewed with one specific unit for an October start date. I didn’t even know you could interview for multiple units at the same time.

Hey! I’m in the same boat with the “pending” status post-interview, but in a different unit. Did you hear back? Thank you!

Congrats on your new position! Did you hear back via phone or email after your interview?

Thank you! Just sent in my application today ?

Hey everyone! I have been reading through this thread and was wondering if it is too soon for me to apply for the new grad residency. I am graduating this August with a direct entry MSN degree and am hoping to get a job in the SICU or CVICU. Should I apply now? Also, has anyone trying to land an ICU position applied to other hospitals? I live in Maryland so would love to work at suburban hospital, but have not seen any new grad ICU positions there. What other hospitals have you all applied to?

Where are you find this out from? I don't understand why you are directing these questions towards future students of the CNL program? Yes, the CNL program is a new program and they are still working out the kinks. But the people on this message board selected Georgetown for a reason, did our own research on the school and are fully capable of making decisions about where we spend our money. If you are a current student, then you should take up these questions with the program director or the academic dean. If you are not, then we may have trouble seeing the legitimacy of your claim.

that is really strange, they don't send out letters by mail but i think you should definitely have received something through the online portal at the bottom of the page. did you check to see that all the components of the application were received online? definitely reach out to the cnl program advisor stephon by email. his email is listed in the program brochure guide.

Sounds like a lot of people have tough decisions to make, but at least we are all hopefully going to nursing school this fall one way or another if anyone decides to accept at Georgetown let me know because I want to make a fb group for the incoming fall class members ?

I had to make the same decision about masters vs. absn. For second undergraduate degrees, there is a limit to how much money in stafford loans you can take out for undergrad education - a lifetime limit of $57,500. so if a person already used all or most of that for their first degree, federal loan options are minimal. they would have to go the private loan route where interest rates are usually not fixed and a lot higher. Also, federal pell grants are limited to first bachelor's degrees, so that is not available for absn. master's degree students can take out up to $138,500 in stafford loans. also, nurses with master's tend to earn higher salaries than bsn nurses. hope this helps!

hmm yeah you are very close to georgetown. a long commute could be especially tough for nursing school. here is the link about the post-masters np program. they are offering it for the first time this fall. https://online.nursing.georgetown.edu/academics/post-masters-certificate-nursing/

I chose Georgetown mainly because it is somewhat closer to me (I'm in Gaithersburg), and now offers a post-master's online program for FNP, WHNP, midwife, and AGACNP certifications. Georgetown has a beautiful campus that is all in one place (all the buildings, the hospital are very close together and right next to Georgetown). The university hospital is also a great facility and I'm hoping to get some clinical experience there during the program. Georgetown nursing also has a great clinical simulation center that's apart of the CNL program. I'm on the NP route as well and as of 2019 Georgetown is now offering the 1-year online post-master's NP certificate program (made especially for people with msn degrees, not BSNs - so its shorter). Johns Hopkins is also a great school so I can understand the toss up.

Got accepted yesterday and accepted my enrollment today!
