Has anyone applied to the AEMSN program at ECU for the Fall 2008? I submitted my application in mid January and got called to interview a few days ago. I am scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I hope to talk to others who are interested in the pr...

Have you thought about maybe trying to shadow at the smaller hospital closer to your home? It would be a shame if you left your current job and then realized after the fact that what you really want is a big ER experience. At least then you'll be a...

I did the Hurst Review to study for the NCLEX - Marlene Hurst is the best and her program is awesome. It refreshes you on the topics covered on the test while teaching the critical thinking skills you'll need to apply your knowledge. Marlene really...

Yes, you get paid the same RN salary as any other new graduate when you begin working full-time. The program doesn't have anything to do with that. After completing Phase I it is your responsibility to apply to hospital postings in your area, inter...

Hi cdcd, I am currently in Phase I of the program and thought I might be able to shed some light on your questions... Yes, the MSN portion of the program (Phase II) requires 1 year of RN experience before starting any specialty classes. The way the ...

Spygirl - that is great, what is your number now? Suhija - I tried sending you a PM but it told me that you have "exceeded the stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until space is cleared". Delete some stuff and then I'll...

Enzo - I am definitely interested in scoping out some apartments with you guys! I think it would be really great to share an apartment with someone/a few others from the program and think it would be good to meet and see if it is something that migh...

Everyone's moving up the list b/c I AM IN! :) I have been accepted to a direct-entry masters program too so now I have some decision-making to do!

I officially accepted at ECU today! I can't wait to meet you all! I talked to Erin today and she said that they are working to get something set up on their exchange website where the AE students can log in and meet their classmates, find roommates...

For everyone who is still waiting... I talked to Melissa yesterday and she said they haven't taken anyone from the waitlist since last Monday. I am still #2 in the running.

As of Monday I was #2 on the list, but I haven't heard anything since then. Let me know if you find out anything new from Melissa!

Enzo- Hope you had a great Easter! Thanks so much for your thoughts. I'm kinda thinking along the same lines as you are about the whole situation. I don't have too much first hand knowledge of RN work, but I've talked a lot with friends/family who...

Enzo - You were correct about the CRNA program for AEMSN students. I talked to Dr. Schreier about it and she said that in order for an AE student to enter the CRNA program they must first complete the MSN in Clinical Nurse Specialist with a focus on...

I just got an update from Melissa around 8am today that I am #2 on the list, so congrats austin! I hope to be joining you in the "accepted" group soon!

Hey all- Just wanted to let you know that Melissa is out of the office today and so we won't be hearing anything until at least Monday. Have a good Easter holiday!

I know what you mean! This whole waiting thing is the pits!

I'm surprised no one has heard anything in the past few days! I hope someone hears something tomorrow!

spygirl - what was your original number? I thought you were originally #25, but if you've moved up 11 spots that would put you at 14, not 16. I'm just asking b/c I'm trying to figure out where I am without bugging Melissa again this week! :nuke:

Hi All, I talked to Melissa today around noon and she told me I had moved up the list to #4. I'm assuming this means nygirl has been accepted, which is awesome. Congrats! Hopefully they'll get to me by the end of the week!

That is great news! That means I'm up to #5! I hope they keep on pulling from the list this week!

Congrats Vita! That's great news!

I'm excited too! I haven't decided whether I will accept or not...I also applied to Duke and am waiting to see what happens with that before committing to a program. I think both of the programs are great and I will have a hard time picking between...

I got my acceptance letter in the mail today! Yay! :nuke:

Good luck kaystho! I submitted my application mid January and interviewed in February. They told me at my interview I should hear something around March 15, so I am anxiously waiting too! Did you apply to other schools? What masters specialty are...

I am now #10 :nuke: I hope they keep pulling people from the list these next few weeks!
