That's great! What were your interviews like? Being from Tennessee, I don't know a lot about the programs, except what I've read on their websites, and what Ive gleaned from this message board. Is there a great deal of emphasis placed on clinical questions? Also, if you don't mind, what were your stats like (GPA, GRE, experience, etc)? Since my wife is going to be working at the med center in Chapel Hill, I am more interested in Raleigh mainly because of proximity, so that's good to hear that you liked Raleigh better overall. Thanks for the reply, and good luck to you as the academic year chugs along.

Hi everyone at this thread! I have also applied to Wake and RSNA, and have been looking for exactly this kind of information as well. Any info/advice is always greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck to everyone. Dave

My stats are BS in biology, GPA 3.2, BSN, GPA 3.7, Nursing Prereq's 4.0, GRE 1200, CCRN, 2 Years critical care experience in the MICU at Vanderbilt, PALS, ACLS, Rapid Response Team, Procedure/Help-All Nurse on our unit and backup charge RN. I think that's about it. Prior to going back to nursing school, I was an autopsy assistant and surgical pathology technician for about 6 years.

Greetings all, So I have interviews at Wake Forest and RSNA. I live in Nashville, TN, and know absolutely nothing about either of these schools. Now, why would anyone apply to a school they know nothing about, you might ask. Well, the short answer is that my wife was offered a job opportunity in Chapel Hill that was too good to pass up. So now I am faced with these interviews and would like any info/advice that anyone who is familiar with either of these programs could provide me. Specifically, I was wondering if there is any clinical component to the interview process. In other words, am I going to be asked to explain the mechanism of action for levophed or what would be appropriate vent settings for a patient with ARDS or anything of that nature. Other information and/or advice is also appreciated. Thank you, and good luck to everyone as they wait to hear about interviews and as they head out on the interview trail. Dave
