Richwade, the order the lists are consistent among different schools. They list them that way for a reason. That is the order of preference. They are not listed in any other way (ie. alphabetical). Trauma center experience is also preferred.

Grats on that. :) Yes, I hope for DFW also. I am making my phone battery die fast from checking my email so much. Today or tomorrow could be the day.

Did you get accepted at Rosalind Franklind gassy2be? What is their commitment process? What clinical site is your preference at TCU?

Did you apply anywhere else anurse1? I am excited to hear the news about TCU as well because it is such a great school. However, there are other schools that I am considering that haven't even started interviews yet. Once we find out if we are accept...

Are you only getting 3 hours of sleep? How do you stay awake??

Who told you that there are 120 interviewees? That is significantly more than last year. I wonder if they will take a larger class size as a result?

Where else did you interview, out of curiosity?

Where would you be coming from? What clinical sites did you guys choose? I know you are probably looking for permanent housing, but in case anyone needs a hotel in the area, I stayed at Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham Fort Worth/Medical Center while in t...

What do you think that means? They will ask the same list of questions to everyone and limit the length of interviews? Or what do you take out of that update?

Hello, Thank you for making this thread. This topic hits close to home because I am a 32 year old without kids and I work in the NICU. At the last hospital I worked at, I would float to the post-partum floor frequently. I didn't think I was weird to ...

Based on my research, last year there were 182 applicants, 102 interviewed and 60 accepted. The odds fairly good. I love TCU.

Is anyone applying to USC this year and has anyone heard anything?

Hello, I am an experienced NICU nurse with 3 years of experience. I have my neonatal CCRN. I am wanting to possibly change specialties to adult ICU. But, at the very least I want to experience an adult ICU for a few days to see what it is like and ho...

I am also looking for an experience to transition into an ICU? How did you find out about those options? What hospital offers the internship?

Maybe I should consider an internship then? Anyone know of any that consider experienced nurses?

I also interviewed on the 19th. :) We probably met each other then. I feel the interview went well. I also have not heard anything yet. The anticipation is killing me! It shouldn't be much longer now.

Hi, I am reading books and reviewing blogs, ACLS, PALS. I don't know what to expect, but I think the clinical interviews will be intensive with case scenarios and such. I have been nervous from the start lol

Hi, that's great. So do I. What date is yours? What is your specialty. Mine is NICU. What are you doing to study?

Hello, Does anyone have any advice for interviewing at USC (University of Southern California) CRNA program? Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows (the reasoning behind) WHY epinephrine is given for bradycardia in PALS (to pediatric patients) but not in ACLS (for adults)? For adults, the first drug given in ACLS is atropine... Thank you

Hi, thanks for the responses. Very interesting. Your responses have been helpful. I also read that stressed neonates quickly deplete their own stores of catacholamines so epinephrine is given first to elevate the heart rate.

Hello, I would like to learn more about what NICU nurses typically do for a newborn in a crash c-section or your observations of what mother receives if she has complications during the delivery. I haven't had much exposure to risky deliveries. Apa...

Hello, I live in Southern California and there are only three schools that I can apply to for my CRNA MSN degree: Kaiser, Loma Linda, and USC. I am at a cross roads at this time because I presently work on Medical-Surgical Unit. However, I have a jo...
