Hi everyone, I just got my acceptance letter and wanted to write a comment for those applying with a low GPA like myself (cGPA ~3.00) because I haven't seen a post from someone with such low stats get accepted. So if you have a poor academic background - it is possible with hard work! I was able to show an upward trend with a 3.96 GPA in my accelerated nursing program, took an undergrad biochem class at UNE and made an A, and worked hard to perform well on the GRE (317), CCRN (114/125), and obtained my CMC with ~18 months of high-acuity CVICU experience. I also made sure to have a lot of extracurricular experience on my unit and volunteering experience. My interviewers flat out asked me to explain my poor academic background but praised my ability to show that I can handle hard academics by doing what I mentioned above prior to applying. So if you are in a similar position, do not hesitate to apply as long as you have tried your best to make up for the weak points in your application. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to message me! Good luck to everyone that is on the waitlist or waiting to hear back!

Thankfully my application was verified within 24-48 hours of being marked complete! Good luck everyone!

@Brazilian nurse Thank you! Thankfully, my application ended up getting verified around 48 hours after it was marked "Complete".

How long did it take for y'all's transcripts to be verified? I'm getting anxious since it's this close to the deadline. My stats Overall/Science GPA ~3.00 Last 60 hours GPA 3.97 GRE 317 (159Q/158V/3.0) 1.5 years CVICU CCRN, CMC 16 hours shadowing

$27-29 depending on your facility and unit in DFW.

Same thing is happening to me. I’ll try again Monday then contact the recruiter or my facility’s employee health office.

Same here.

Hi all. I am graduating with my BSN in December and am starting to look at prospective hospitals/ ICU units in Fort Worth. I am looking for high-acuity as I may be applying to CRNA school in the next few years. Essentially, the question is JPS (Level I) vs THR FW (Level 2) vs Baylor FW (Level 3) ICUs.

I’m from the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well.

What work experience do y’all have? I am an ED tech trying to get into ICU.

Hi! I am an upcoming senior BSN student who will be applying to this program later this year for the Spring 2022 start. Is this the same as the “Critical Care Nurse Internship” which is dual ED-ICU focus?

@Fil We have to wait til June 1st to apply for the fall semester. We are not enrolled in a health institution (such as UTHSC) so we are not automatically enrolled. Wait until June 1st then a link should be active on the insurance webpage. edit: Insurance is actually due June 30, not June 1, in InPlace as well.

From what I know, they haven’t rescinded acceptance offers from those that weren’t clinically compliant yet.

So I actually received my blue card 1 week and 3 days after I did fingerprinting. I did my fingerprinting this February 27th so I was surprised it came so fast. Also, they sent the blue card to my in-laws house, even though I don’t recall giving them any other address than my own. Someone else in one of these threads said that when they had the same issue as you, they called the BON and spoke to a nice lady who scanned and emailed them their letter since they didn’t receive the one in the mail. If possible, try to do that.
