I stayed here and had no problem: https://maps.apple/p/TKowDvAP7CqEPr

Same! They said in the coming weeks we should get more info

I'm probably going to print out a typical letter size being that I don't have any other size paper available haha

That's awesome! How do they like it?

Read through a previous year thread when their invited got sent out: "Spoke with the GA. Firstround of interviews and rejections were already sent out. Essentially, she said that if you haven't received a rejection then that's good. BUT there were over 700+ applicants so they can only send out so many invites. It's likely the 30 & 15 spots will easily fill up with first rounders. She said everyone will hear something by mid-Sept at the latest. Just keep the faith y'all, it'll all work out exactly how it's supposed to!”

Haven't received anything yet. I wonder if they're going by alphabetical order or by date of submission

following!

following! 150 words was a struggle but it helped to stay concise

hey this is awesome! Im applying for CRNA school now and have gotten some prompts to discuss my "clinical specialty area interested in pursuing". I was wondering what clinical specialty areas there are? When I shadowed, it seemed to be pretty universal (e.g. doing an endo case, then an OB case, then back to the OR for an ortho case)

3.9 is amazing! Congrats!! Thanks for sharing Did you retake o chem? This looks like my stats minus the 10yrs experience which is so awesome!

hey y'all! firstly congrats to those that got admitted, and hope that those who didn't stay on the path to pursue this career! wanted to ask if y'all would be willing to share your stats

Hey! I'm in the ICU and honestly the residency program is great. I'm not too sure how other hospitals run but they really help transition us onto the unit. So we have about 3 weeks of simulation labs and class before getting on the unit. Then there's ongoing conferences for continued learning on best practice. They organized us in groups so I'm in critical care. ER is their own group so I can't speak on their experience, but we see all kinds of crazy things and I've heard working the ER at BT is unmatched experience.

What location was this? Interviews are next week I believe

It was very quick! I had a TMC pre screen, they had an ED pre screen for TMC as well. They said interviews will be done 9/28-9/30 and should be hearing back by this upcoming Monday or Tuesday.

A lot of us turned it in within the first week of opening

Hey, I know a handful of my classmates that are scheduled for interviews tomorrow for CVICU, L&D, NICU, and PICU. The adult congenital program reached out to me and a couple of my classmates Friday for a phone call.

Just applied! Hope I'm not too late LOL thank you.

When does Methodist's application close? Have yet to apply LOL

Same here, I feel the same way, but trying to stay hopeful until I see a rejection letter

TCH has been calling back for interviews!

Honestly, it is a struggle leaving in peak traffic hours and having to wake up earlier but everybody uses that time to listen to Youtube videos or lectures. Personally, my schedule was Monday sim lab 8-5 and get home/eat/shower by 7 then review for Tuesday's test till about 11pm. Tuesday I used my nights to do as much of Thursday's homework by 9-10pm if I had Wednesday clinical. If I didn't have Wednesday clinical, I would do assignments till about midnight then wake up at around 8am Wednesday to study and do more assignments all day LOL. We had about 10-12 assignments due every Monday and Tuesday then around 5-7 due on Thursday (in the Spring) so I tried to get all hw done by Friday to use all day Saturday and Sunday to study for Tuesday. All the time I spent driving I would be proactive. However, as the months pass things get easier. There were others that had different schedules, but I know about half the cohort that used the same tactic of knocking homework out to use the weekend to study.

No! Some people are actually driving in from Baytown. I'd say about a quarter of the program lives within 20 minutes from Sugar Land. A lot of people drive in from Katy too

M: sim lab 8-5 T and Th: 8-4ish depends on the lecture W and/or F: you'll have clinical 12+ hours I was blessed to not have clinicals twice a week the Spring semester cause that semester was INTENSE. So, the days you have off are days spent studying. You have a test every Tuesday and need a 75 or above to pass, but once you learn how the professors test, things become easier. Some advice is try not to stress about knowing EVERYTHING because they can only fit so much on the test. SimpleNursing and LevelUpRN on YT were safe havens for me. We started with 80 people and have trickled down to 60 full time students. It is recommended to go down to part time if youre struggling in one course. I will say you really have to dedicate yourself to this program. I would go to the gym 4-5 times a week and I was happy to be able to go once a week in the Spring. I hardly had time to cook, but would listen to lectures or Youtube when I would (honestly listening to lectures or Youtube during any activity is needed LOL). I spent 10+ hours doing homework/studying/finishing care plans on days I didn't have class which includes Saturday and Sunday. Howeverrr once you get the hang of things it'll start to feel doable. For me, it was after Spring Break so I'd give it about 3-4 months before you feel it get easier. Things start to make sense and you learn how to think like a nurse! I was able to start getting used to the schedule and go to the gym 2-3 times a week and go out on the weekends sometimes! (I don't recommend it buttt fun is needed every now and then anddd my grades weren't affected LOL) and just for some insight if you do fail a test, you need to have a meeting with a faculty member to review the test and what you got wrong which is super helpful!! I don't recommend failing more than 2 tests. Also check offs for skills are every Monday during sim lab (so youre studying for a test, finishing homework, and making sure you can start an IV properly LOL). It sounds scary but it is very doable and you will come out 100x better! I recommend it for sure, just discipline yourself and stay consistent
