When does the program start?

interesting...I just found this. I interviewed three times with the burn center and never heard yay or nay. Sounds like nay at this point. I am surprised I didn't get a call either way. Who notified you?

sounds like a good idea, count me in

Hemicoffee, they called my cell. good luck, I will send out some positive vibes...the number came up anonymous

Thanks birthrevolution! And thank you for your openness, hopefully our paths will cross at some point. I wish you the best as well!

Hi everyone! I am dancing....because the school of nursing called me this morning and I am in! I am so thrilled and so appreciative that they called me so soon after receiving replies from folks in my specialty. I hope more good phone calls find y...

Hi Birthrevolution, Thanks for the heads up, I hope it actually works that way...and I will try not to get too excited until I hear from the school. I will post if they actually contact me --I just have no idea how the waitlist works there. It soun...

Yes, Star77 -- JenniferMPH and I are in the same specialty...thanks for lookin' out. JenniferMPH --no pressure:bowingpur and as far as egos go, you should be extremely pleased with yourself for already getting into an amazing program. Ego schmiego....

my deepest empathy SFtoRedwood, and thanks Cyzja(sp?) --I sincerely appreciate it....and I will take all the crossed fingers, positive thoughts, prayers, and hoodoo voodoo out there -- so bring it on sisters and brothers this goes out to all of you h...

okay, so apparently i am still in the waiting game, so existential. i am alternate #1 for my specialty. hopefully i will be seeing some of you in June. I am still totally committed and prepared to wait and cross my fingers --I have been headed in t...

Congratulations to everyone who got happy letters, and to those who are feeling down now --apply again, and again if you need to. The world needs nurses as passionate as you all are. As for me, I am still waiting --and like twenty minutes from SF. ...

For all those interested. Friday from 9-11am KQED's Forum is on Choices in Childbirth. The panel consists of OB's, CNM's, authors, researchers, and then me:specs:. The forum is being held in the classroom of the Health and Well being center for M...

ughh...this is like Waiting for Godot

The irony of all this is that we have a psycho postal worker --truly psycho, as in trampled my neighbor's garden, shouts at children, doesn't respond to conversation, rarely makes eye contact, and argues with the elderly --type postal worker.....so, ...

Birthrevolution --Congrats on Yale! That is awesome. I think I posted before about my experience at Yale New Haven Hospital, Labor and Delivery is pretty mellow and there are lots of midwives attending. The nurses on that floor are awesome. I di...

I am counting days --this is not easy. I think I might just crap my pants when the letters come in March. I remember hearing that both the acceptance and rejection letters are thin, is that an unfortunate reality or a twisted scenario I've conjure...

Hi Star, you are right....dead space is not helpful. The reception the night before definitely made the following day a more socially enjoyable event. I loved hearing where everyone was coming from. My faculty interview was very relaxing, which I ...

Was that all a dream? I am heading to Stanford tomorrow for my second round. Yeah, the rain was non stop. Non stop, we are between storms.

Right back at you with those fives! So good to know there is a community here supporting one another. I am curious too about the interview bit and the second languages q and a. My interviews are on the 25th at UCSF and the 29th at Stanford. I like...

Thank you gNat for the virtual high five. You have added some excellent encouragement and positivity to this thread. I read your blog entry thawing out and drying after a morning at our local abortion clinic --I am an outside escort. You are certa...

Hi Jennifer, I believe all out of towners get one interview day and they pack it in for your convenience. My second one is a week later, I believe my Midwifery interview is on the 25th and the general is on the 29th. I am local, we moved out here fr...

Hi there, I am heading out there on the 25th for the midwifery specialty as well. Do you have a second interview date? And are you in the bay area?

Peace and goodwill to all who got an interview and all who did not. My envelope held some very good news, but I am an old mama at this point and happy with the invite. I am heading to UCSF on the 25th, anyone else? I also have a second interview on t...

Glad to hear everything went well and you are recovering smoothly Teeny. Best wishes for a peaceful holiday. I am leaving SF without a letter to go back East and see some of that dumping snow....I really wish I knew at this point. and for all those ...

]I have to agree with Birthrevolution's voice of descent. Everyone I talked to during the application process was kind and patient on the phone. I had some pretty humorous stuff happen to me when I took the GRE's --imagine your worst nightmare (li...
