Congratulations to you! My first day was Monday! I am looking forward to this journey.

Thanks for the advice! I am starting the program in February and am extremely excited but as the day nears I am also becoming more scared! I am finding it more difficult to fall asleep due to my thoughts racing! Thanks again for the encouragement!...

I had my interview last Friday! Anxiously waiting to hear back! Interview went great just don't like waiting!! Hopefully I will be starting my first semester in February! Also, I was wondering do you use an IPAD or laptop for this program? Thanks.

How long did it take you to receive an offer to interview after applying? I sent my application and awaiting a response?

I am preparing for the GRE right now and would like to send my application this week so my focus is currently on the GRE since that is listed as a requirement and CCRN is not. Do you have to apply for a Florida License before applying? Thanks.

I have pretty good stats GPA 3.9 8 years of ICU experience with 4 years of travel experience. I currently work at a level one university hospital in a busy SICU with frequent drips, ECMO, and CRRT. I am taking GRE at end of August so preparing for th...

Hi, I will have 2 car payments that I will not be able to get rid of by the time I start next year if I get accepted. Good news is I don't have kids so will be able to buckle down you know beans and rice! My husband currently works at Lowes which do...

Hi, thanks for the help I ordered that book from Amazon and will be reading it soon! I will probably order the other one also in the next few months. I have a chemistry class this spring which will keep me busy cause its a lot for Spring! Jill

Hi, does this book go over anything clinically to prepare you? Thanks.

I am having difficulty finding shadowing experience! The hospital I work at quit allowing it 6 months ago. I have left messages with 2 other hospitals but I haven't heard back and it's been 2 weeks! Very frustrating espically since I'm applying in Au...

I am in the same boat with loans already. I didn't work during my ADN program and am just finishing up my RN to BSN and total debt will be around $75000 probably. With CRNA debt added in it will equal about $225000. I ask myself if it is worth it all...

Are you from Michigan? I live an hour north of Detroit.

Did anyone take a 12 leak EKG class before starting the program? Thanks! Jill

Do you know when the exact deadline is for applying for the February start? Thanks!

Thanks! If it doesn't happen for me to start in February I am ok with starting in October! The most important thing is that I get in!!

Congrats on completing your first semester! I am just completing the RN to BSN (will be finished in June). I then have to take organic chemistry in the fall but Wolford said I could apply before completing that class. I have the GRE scheduled for the...

Just wondering what facility this is. I wanted to leave a contract in SoCal last year.

I worked at Kaiser in L.A. and it didn't seem like they were committed to excellence in care. I then went to Kaiser in Redwood City and it was a great place to work. I am considering going to San Diego in Dec and right now only Kaiser hospitals are p...

I am thinking of going to South Florida for the winter as my husband wants to go to some Dolphins games. I have heard horror stories regarding Florida travel nursing. I am an ICU nurse. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Jill

I have applied to a few different cruise lines and one cruise line agency. I am a travel nurse currently and have been interested in cruise ship nursing since I took my first cruise vacation 5 years ago. I am married and would have to leave my hubby ...

I am a traveler interested in doing a contract in the Virgin Islands. Wondering how the pay is? Also wondering what type of housing is provided and if it is easy to get housing on your own temporarily. Is it easy to buy a car or moped cheap? Any info...

I agree. I just started this Yale-New Haven contract in the SICU a few weeks ago. The housing is nice. I am also at Town Walk Hamden Hills. Can't wait for the weather to get warmer!! Looking forward to going to Boston and NYC!! Good luck!

LadyTiger, Hi. I am with American Mobile also currently in California. I am thinking of Florida next winter and would love to be in the Naples area. I am an ICU nurse. What hospital is it that you are currently at? I have heard horror stories about ...

I see that you already accepted at Stanford. I have heard great things about Stanford. I have worked at USC and Kaiser West L.A. Had a friend who worked at Kaiser Sunset. My experience with West L.A. was not good. However, I am at Kaiser Redwood City...
