I did get an acceptance email this afternoon! Congrats to you on MN State!!

That would be awesome!!

I too interviewed for the FNP program back in December. Was told next communication would be mid-February. I'm still waiting to hear back either way. I'm so impatient, I check my e-mail constantly! Hope we'll hear something soon!

Hello! I emailed admissions a couple of weeks back and asked if they were still in the process of reviewing applications, and whether or not applicants would be notified if they were no longer being considered. At that time I was told that they wer...

Has anyone heard how they handle rejections? Do you get a "thanks, but not thanks" email? If I'm not being considered it'd be nice to know that, rather than this radio silence.

Nope. Still waiting to hear either way.

Nothing here as well. It's a bit frustrating. Even an update that applications are still being reviewed would be nice. This complete radio silence is tough. But like you said, at least we know we're not alone in this process!

The waiting is painful!

I applied to the FNP track as well. Haven't heard anything since the initial "we received your application" e-mail. I'm anxiously awaiting any information! Hopefully we start hearing back soon!

So nice to see another FNP applicant! I too saw that the interview invites started coming out in early December last year, so now that we're here I'm checking my email several times a day! 2020 has definitely turned things upside-down, so I'm tryin...

I too have applied to the DNP program for 2021, FNP track. I'm getting anxious to hear something! The last communication I received was the email stating that my application was received by the priority deadline, and that feels like eons ago! Hope...

Wow, I believe I am. I'm so glad that I came across your post!! This is something I want to know more about. I feel like a light came on when I was taking that test . It makes so much sense to me, and I think it may explain why after 5 years as a...

Wow, really enjoyed this thread! Great discussion!! Keep em coming =)

I was on a unit about 2 years ago that tried that same thing. I felt it was condesending, and I never once signed the sheet. Just continued on with my work. Nobody ever said anything to me, and they mysteriously disappeared without a word or a tra...

Staffing is and will continue to be a horrendous issue for some time I predict. We are expected to do way to much in the amount of time allotted be it 8 hours or 12. Nurse=machine. Its ridiculous. There is way too much on the plate, and when thin...

It sounds to me as well that it's more an issue of not being in the right area as opposed to "burn out". I currently work in the ICU. I too have always wanted to work ED (and L&D:p). I've often seen ED postings requiring/prefering ICU experien...

Unfortunately I'm in agreement with a lot of what has already been said. I'm currently on a 12 hour straight nights schedule (currently next in line on the waiting list for a day position) with an 8 month old at home, and its incredibly difficult. ...

That's absolutely disgusting, and I hope more is done to those involved than some half-assed slap on the wrist.

Wow, that is so horribly tacky...

I too think it sounds like you handled things well, and you sound like you know your stuff. I can't comment on the patient load because I don't have any L&D experience, but my advice would be to ask for help when you need it, and to stand up for...

So absolutely normal to feel this way, and it does take a while! Nursing is not your run of the mill job where after a few weeks of repitition you've got it down. Its very challenging, but that's part of the beauty of it! You WILL get better and b...

Venting is a must! However, there's quite a difference between venting and talking behind someones back. Not having the guts and/or decency to talk with someone face to face, and instead turning around and badmouthing that person behind their back ...

I would talk with your nurse manager, or whoever does the scheduling for your particular unit. Where I work 3 12's in a row is all they are allowed to schedule, however we can request 4 or 5 in a row and be scheduled that way if desired. That is wa...

It used to be awesome to answer the question "What do you do?" with the response "I'm a Nurse!". These days I'm feeling incredibly more jaded, burnt out, and worthless than ever. I hate to admit this because I worked so hard to get here, was so det...
