My interview is today @3pm. I interviewed last year, didn't get in:scrying: . I was soooo nervous last year, this year not so much. I know what to expect. Don't stress, be confident, not arrogant. I'll let you know how it goes.

I wasn't accepted, but I spoke with Ms. Wright in August to see if my ICU experience was acceptable (1996-98). She said that is was, however an applicant with more recent ICU experience would be chosen before me. She suggested that I pick up some flexi shifts in CCU/ICU to update my experience. I took a flexi job in CCU in September so I could put that on my application. During one of my interviews (not with Ms. Wright) it was suggested that I quit my job that I have now and go to work in a SICU or a CSICU, where I would work with post-surgical patients. So I guess CCU wasn't a good choice. I plan to take Microbiology over and go to work probably in an SICU (I don't work full time now, so I will do part time or flexi), and apply again next year.

How about the operation game? What's up with that??

Denied, rejected, kicked to the curb. Oh well, maybe next year. My brother works with someone who got in on her third try, so let's not get too discouraged.

Those of you in the Birmingham component, do you live in the area? I live in Birmingham and didn't get a letter yet , so I'm sorta bummed out. Congrats!

My interview went well. Everyone was nice. The director told me that they should get letters out by the latter part of next week. One of the instructors told me that most of their alternates got a slot last year. So if I get an alternate letter I will be excited (not as excited as I will be to get an acceptance letter). If I get denied, I know now how to make myself a better applicant next year and will know what to expect as far as the interview goes.

Sorry, your question was to badgernurse and I replied. I interviewed today for the "central component" as they called it. I assume my clinicals will be in Birmingham, which is where I live. Good luck Thursday.

Yes, I interview in Birmingham this afternoon. I hope it stops raining:rolleyes: . When is your interview? Do you live in the Birmingham area?

I have an interview @ UAB Monday. Anyone else? Anyone interview on Friday? I'm scared to death!:uhoh21:
