I made virtually no significant changes to my app. Just interviewed better was most of my work! :)

Yes! So whenever you interview and don't get accepted, it's perfectly okay to reach out and ask what you can do better. When I asked last year, the person I spoke to literally said "nothing for your app. Just do more research in USF's program and interview better.” So feedback first and foremost. I also used a book recommended to me by a CRNA friend who knocked their interview out of the park. It's called "How to Ace the PA School Interview" by Rodican. The stuff in there is good for strategy. Obviously replace the word PA with CRNA LOL. Practice interview questions are in that book also! It completely flipped the script for me because baybeeee that first interview was ATROCIOUS D:

Hi everyone! Just got my acceptance email. Here is my timeline and stats if anyone cares to know. This is my second time applying. First interview was last year after priority and I FUMBLED so bad. This year I submitted 4/7, verified 4/8, interviewed 5/19, and accepted 8/24. I interviewed MUCH better this time. My advice is to be yourself. They can smell a liar. Stats: Nursing GPA: 3.75 Pre-Req GPA: 3.75 (didn't take patho or pharm. Didn't need it for my ASN or BSN so they omitted that for me) Overall GPA: 3.8 GRE: 297 (yikes, but met the requirement) Experience: Vascular ICU ~11 months Cardiothoracic ICU >3yrs and still currently work here. Trained on ECMO, IABP, durable VAD, impella, CRRT, lumbar drains, and can recover OR cases. I precept and do relief charge. CCRN, ACLS/BLS, PALS. I'm a CRRT resource RN and I do work on my unit for Unit Council. I work also at a college where I work in the nursing lab and simulation lab. I am FAR from the smartest person in the room, but USF wants to know that you're able to grow and that you're in this for the right reasons. Be patient. Your time is coming <3

Interviewed in mid May. Radio silence over here so far :/

Me! Nothing that officially says they prefer TGH due to their affiliation. They're very familiar with TGH though and the ICU floors as well as their acuity. I don't think they care where you're from just as long as you're taking the sickest patients and getting exposure to various drips, vents, hemodynamics, modalities, etc. It's the only level 1 trauma center in the region so by default if you work there you're getting some of the sickest of the sick. And the faculty are very familiar with each ICU as well as what they do in terms of modalities and whatnot. Hope that helps!

For everyone who interviewed or about to interview, I spoke to admissions regarding when we get decisions. They said first round of decisions historically is late August. Little bit of a wait but I hope everyone enjoys their summers in the meantime ❤️

Yes it's still emotional intelligence. Congrats on your interview!

Hey y'all, so I turned my application in around the beginning of April, I got a confirmation email saying they've received everything, and everything's showing up as received on webadvisor. Butttttt I just helped someone put their's in on Tuesday and the email healthsciences send back was way different than the one I got a month ago. It was saying that things have changed and to go to HCC website for more information on how to send it in but... I already... sent it in LOL what? I was wondering if anyone has gotten that email after they submitted their application and if that email is a "confirmation' email. because that's not the same email I got a month ago.

1.) Dale mornings 2.) Dale afternoons 3.) Dale nights 4.) Southshore I really just prefer Dale because that’s where I’ve been going and it’s closest so literally any time works for me. GPA 3.85 and TEAS 80 Good luck to everyone ❤️

I got a message yesterday saying that they’re switching to a different form of turning in the application. The advisor told me they won’t accept mailing or turning it in on campus, so he said that the move now is to email your application to health sciences. I will be doing mine shortly but I wanted to make sure other people got the message also?

Hey y'all, so with this whole coronavirus thing, it's been kind of difficult for me to find answers regarding nursing. I plan to apply for fall but I'm confused as far as admissions go? Firstly, on the nursing application it says that I need my hcc transcripts and my high school transcripts, but why would I need those if I've been going to HCC for almost 2 years now? Don't they technically already have them? And I took TEAS at HCC and scored an 80%, however I'm not sure how they want me to give them my results? Again I imagine that they already have these things? I guess I just don't understand how they want me to provide these things for the application? Have I overthought this? I dunno I'm just getting very anxious! Good luck to everyone and be safe!
