Same here

Just got an acceptance call this AM! Just requested to the group ?

Grats ?

They said we were going to hear back on the 15th (for my interview group atleast) then nothing. I called this past Friday and they said decisions were 100% going out that day, yet still nothing. Would be totally fine if the said that final decisions would be going out on the 4th of December for example, but the fact that they keep saying one day that keeps falling through is making me question the program a little.

Nothing here. Them moving the goal post on when they are making final decisions is starting to discourage me.

Talked to them today, they said that final decisions are being sent out today so check your emails today and tomorrow. (For interviews from last week atleast)

I interviewed last Wednesday.

Called the graduate school and they said the program still hasn’t released the decisions, so it does seem like the program not the school. Not sure if to email the director for an update or just keep waiting. Got to hear something eventually!

Anyone know if rejection emails get sent or not?

Nothing here either, congrats though!

Here goes the refresh train again

Looks like a little late to the party here, but will post for anyone else needing a reply. I used the AACN online course for the CSC along with the books of sample questions with rationale. The sample questions were relatively simplistic compared to the actual test, but the rational made good reading during downtime at work. I found the review course extremely helpful in preparing for the exam. Be prepared for a lot of questions about tamponade ?

I'm worried it might be Monday due to the weekend.

Pretty sure I've worn away the refresh button on my computer.

Seems so quick! Both a blessing and a curse I suppose. Goodluck to everyone! It was nice meeting everyone at yesterdays interview!

Sounds like a group, general overview of the program to start with and then individuals are pulled into their personal interviews after. In the past it was a panel interview with some of the faculty and director.

Same! Got an interview scheduled for Nov 13th.

Whole lotta nothin'

Heard back today as well! Hope to see you all there for the interview!

Yeah, starting to hear back from other schools that had the same deadline. Hoping to hear from UNCG soon!

Same here.

This is a good article talking about AEG techniques, indications, and atrial fibrillation. 1c229e075ffd6f076658cdc91c564061ba03.pdf

Hey there. My experience with intracardiac atrial ECGs are purely with using epicardial wires, so if you are using them in another sense this response may not be helpful. We use 'atriagrams' (I don't think this is the technical term but what we use ubiquitously on our unit) usually to differentiate atrial flutter/fib , junctional, or NSR. Using the now amplified atrial signal, you can more clearly see atrial activity, if any, and how that correlated with the patients intrinsic ventricular response. I have attached an image which shows how it amplifies the atrial activity in atrial fibrillation and you can see the larger disorganized fib waves and differentiate it from a irregular flutter. Although this was easily seen as flutter in the top rhythm, this technique is useful when the f waves are not as present in the standard ECG. As for the technique, these atriagrams use the principle of Einthoven's triangle to replace the right arm lead with an atrial epicardial wire. Lead one makes up the electrical activity going from the right arm to the left arm so by replacing the right arm lead (White) with the atrial wire you are kinda 'zooming in' on the atrial activity. You can 'zoom in' further by also replacing the left arm (black) lead with the second atrial wire however I find that this is usually excessive. So the down and dirty, put your monitor in lead I, touch the metal of one of the epicardial wires to the metal of the white ECG lead, review the monitor and assess for the presence of now amplified atrial activity. If still unsure, you may additionally attach the second atrial lead to the black ECG lead. I will try to find more examples from my own clinical practice and update the post. *EDIT* I have found more examples and can send them to you if you would like.

I haven't yet. Finally got out of admission specialist review and now its sent to the faculty. Hoping next week as I think interviews are about a month away.

Yeah, mine was submitted about two months ago and was just waiting on GRE scores that came in about 1 month ago. Still just an x for being reviewed by admission specialist. Talked to them today and said that's normal and they are still reviewing applications and sending them over to faculty. I guess just gonna keep my fingers crossed.
