Nothing!!! Relax, rest, spend time with your family & friends, read for pleasure, sleep! In all honesty, studying before school will not be very helpful & they are going to teach you everything anyway. You are about to have 2.5 intense years,...

National University is located in Fresno, not LA. The schools in California are USC, Kaiser/CSUF (based in Pasadena), Loma Linda, National University (Fresno), and Samuel Merritt (Oakland). You can go to the specific school websites for more detai...

As said before, the clinical component of the interviews are based completely on what you put on your resume and application. If you say you worked in a neuro ICU, expect neuro questions. If you say you were a heart nurse, prove it. If you say you...

I am a SRNA at Loma Linda. As a clarification, the tuition is about $95k, the program is 2.5 years long, and my class has 14 people. The incoming class will be 16. It is a more expensive program, but you get your moneys worth. It is a really stron...

Your L&D experience will not count at all towards the critical care requirements, regardless of the acuity. The requirements are specific in that you need a minimum of 1yr ICU experience (typically adult ICU). Schools usually allow you to apply...

I started in ER and then transferred to ICU. Definitely the best option as you will get a lot of practice with your skills in ER (IVs, foleys, codes, etc.).

Sounds like everyone's interview questions were different, but they are based off of your experience listed on the application and your resume.

Did you end up retaking it and/or applying? Have you looked into schools that do not require the GRE?

Definitely get your CCRN. While most schools list this as recommended, it is better to think of it as required.

I would definitely contact the specific school you are applying for, as there is not a standard answer for this. The science classes included vary. My school included all science courses taken. No math or statistics included. GPAs in question wer...

That's great! Are you local, or will you be moving?

Me too!! :)

I think there would still be a chance for 2nd interview, unless the other applicants are just more qualified. Hoping for good news, as this is definitely what I want to do and the program seems really great. Either way, hopefully we will find out s...

In our group, there was only 1 person (the other local) who is an employee at LLU. If I don't get in, I'll just reapply for next year. But hoping I don't have to worry about that!! Have you applied/interviewed anywhere else? What did you get on y...

I was one of the closest from the group I met. I met 3 from LA area, 2 from Atlanta, and 1 other local. I will stay where I am, because the commute is not bad. I am married, so it would be easier for myself and my husband to stay put. What about ...

Shea told me 22 for 8 spots when I scheduled my HSRT/essay appt. This was probably the end of February, so that very well could be different now since some people had recent invitations. 50/50 is better odds!! I am local - San Bernardino County. ...

Yes, there were at least 2 with offers for programs already - Pittsburgh and Texas Wesleyan, I think. Maybe there were others lined up for interviews that backed out for other programs. How do you feel like your interview went? I felt good about i...

Wow, really? I was invited to interview back in mid-February. What about you? The program and campus is definitely impressive, and would be so great! All of the current students seem very happy with the program so far. Have you interviewed anywh...

I was there in the morning - 2nd interview of the day! I was also told 2-3wks, but that they were being generous with that (meaning they thought it'd be sooner). Some of the students from the current class said that they found out within a matter o...

I did! Just interviewed on Thursday and have not heard back yet. When did you interview?

I'm taking my CCRN in July. I bought the most recent Pass CCRN book with CD but have also had trouble finding the CCRN Review Cram set. Anyone have theirs that they're not using anymore? Even if it's just a loan - I'll send it back to you when I'm...

Hi everyone. I had my PPD test read on Thursday (at 48hrs) and it was negative - red but no induration. However, yesterday (a little over 72hrs post-test) there was definite induration. It was about the size of a dime. It has since gone down a li...
