I was originally interested in the bridge program so I gotchu! I would email Kelly Alagna and ask for information on the ICU bridge program ([email protected]). She actually had to send me a link to their job posting since I couldn’t find it as well. She was extremely helpful during my application process! Ayyyye! Welcome to the team! I’ll be the one drowning ?

I’m a new hire at Hopkins. After talking with the nurse recruiters during my application/interview process, Hopkins is pretty picky when it comes to their ICUs. There’s a minimum requirement of 120 contact hours in an ICU before you’re even eligible to apply for the position. In addition, they tend to prefer internal transfers to the ICU because of how policy-heavy the hospital is. Personally, my end goal is to work in the ICU, so I’m in the MPCU which is considered critical care and would facilitate a successful transition to the ICU after a year or so!

Hi all! I’ve accepted a job in the MPCU and start next week. I’ll be moving into the city some time within the year, so if anyone on here is looking for a female roommate feel free to reach out ?

So it's weird. My ICU bridge program application is still "Under Review" at 2 MONTHS after I submitted it. However, I applied for the PCU residency and received an interview within a week. So they're definitely looking at December grads right now. I think I'm going to call the Hopkins HR and ask what's up, 2 months seems very abnormal for an application to not even be looked at.

Hi! I'm graduating in December and applied for the ICU bridge program nursing residency 1 month ago. My application is still "under review," but considering Hopkins is only just now offering start dates of November 30th, I'm assuming they haven't gotten around to completing December grad applications. Is anyone else still anxiously waiting for potential next steps?

Hi all! I'm going to be a December 2020 graduate and have applied to the Hopkins ICU bridge program. I originally applied for some new grad telemetry positions but after submitting them I received an email from the lead recruiter informing me that December grads wouldn't be considered for new grad positions just yet. BUT she gave me the direct link to the ICU bridge program application because she felt I would be a good fit. I submitted that application 1 week ago and my application still says "under review." How long did you all have to wait before progress was made in your application? I was feeling confident about my chances when I got her email but this limbo is making me anxious LOL

Also looking for the Fall 2019 cohort Facebook group to find a potential roommate. Does anyone know the name? Or has it even been created yet? I will make one if there's isn't one already established.

Update: I just got my acceptance call today! It took 10 days to hear back. :)

Hi all! I submitted my application for the ABSN on 2/18 and can guess that I won't be hearing back for a couple of months. I'm so anxious though and was wondering if I could get some feedback on my application? I have an undergrad GPA of 2.9 (BS in Chemistry) and have earned all B's on my pre-reqs so far except for an A in stat (still taking Nutrition, A&P2, and Microbio). I've worked in my hospital's ED as a scribe/medical assistant for >1 year and got a great letter of recommendation from one of the doctors here in the department. I also think my personal statement was pretty solid and addresses some of the personal challenges I faced during undergrad that explain my GPA. I know that the admitted students seem to be all over the place in terms of stats and some great people get turned away, but I just keep overthinking it

Glad to see there is a forum for this University! I submitted my application for the Fall 2019 cohort earlier this week (although it was completed nearly a month ago -- had to wait for my final recommendation to be submitted) and am wondering how long it took for you all to hear back? If I get accepted I will 100% be attending, but I keep overthinking it and am so anxious to hear back! Also wondering if anyone is willing to share their stats so I can get a basis for my likelihood of admission? :)
