I haven't heard anything from L&D and mine still shows under consideration. I remember that in the webinar they said that they would "go dormant" in November so I think the people who heard from units in November were just lucky, and other units ...

CNMs can do everything WHNPs can do but WHNPs can't do everything that CNMs can do, so for me that answers the question! Why not do CNM and leave your options open?

Definitely not. I meet the minimum requirements as do many of my classmates and most of us did not get referred to a hiring department. Of my classmates, the only ones who were referred for any of the new grad positions were internal candidates who a...

That is correct, we are out of the running. That means they did not even forward our info to the hiring department because they had many applicants that were more competitive. I'll be applying again for the Summer!

Thanks for that info @redivy. I wish I were an internal candidate there already! The timing is a little bit off. UCSD is buying Alvarado where I work per diem, but I'm not hired on by UCSD yet.

@MeganCole21 why do you think they don't want applicants without 100 hours in the unit they are applying for? I know that would make an applicant more competitive but they didn't say it is required.
