I knew someone that already worked at my hospital on another unit, so she gave me the contact info of the HR person she went through, and I had an interview with the NICU manager that week.

Based on your previous posts I don't believe we do!

Our best nurse is a male.

I didn't either, I was on adult med surg (and thought I'd die). I'm still a NICU nurse and it was my first job out of school. Where I live, Dallas, it's more about who you know. Give a reference and you're more likely to get interviewed.

Usually I lurk, but I had to put in my 2 cents here. NICU is physically demanding, not in a lifting heavy people since, but you've got to be quick on your feet. In my unit, the babies are not all in one room, but in pods. Some nights I can span 3 pod...

i recommend everyone getting a glass of wine, watching a movie, and just relaxing the rest of the evening. i truly know it's easier said than done. you guys will all get your letters tomorrow, and i really hope we're all classmates! i cannot wait to ...

thanks ya'll. i only applied to the dallas campus. i didn't get into the fast track, but i did fall 2009. my GPA is 3.92 and my net was an 85.

i'm sure you will be golden! good luck!

aw thank you sophia! you're sweet, i'm going to be in dallas!

i'm in!!! YAY! just got my letter, and i'm kicking myself because i didn't check the mail yesterday.

i got a letter today from TWU and my heart sank! too bad it wasn't a letter I was waiting for! something about financial aid...but i don't qualify. why would she take off the week before spring break and come in for friday only!? crazy lady:)

i just call the main college of nursing number and speak to whoever answers. no news!

WHAT! I called today and they said AFTER spring break. I wish they would give a damn straight answer. They're toying with all of our emotions! Sophia- I didn't get an email either. I check that damn account 15 times a day! I went shopping for a few h...

oh i totally hear you. i get that from everyone too! if they only knew!

aw that's cute. hopefully THOSE people won't get in who think it's a cake walk! little do they know. i feel like i'm a pretty intelligent person, but i know this isn't going to be easy. nothing worth having is!

it sounds like we get a different answer with whoever answers the phone! i had my fiance call today! lol. answer was mid march again. they're probably just sick of us calling! :) i'm going to have some wine and try to forget about it for the rest of ...

i called today and they said END OF MARCH! UGH!

i called today, they're now shooting to have everything mailed by mid march. ughhh just make up your minds and put the envelopes in the mail!

yes ma'am:) just bought a house so i'm kinda stuck in DFW! good thing i love it here!

well i'm an independent because my parents don't support me at all. i haven't lived with them or received money from them since i was 18! no kiddos though. they haven't claimed me on their taxes since i got my BA and started working a full time "real...

gotcha. i just did it online. we'll see. i am independent of my parents and am getting married in may. is efc supposed to be low? mine was like 20k. have you guys read about the us department of health and human services scholarship? they will pay fo...

hmm random chem post:) sophia1983- i need to fill out a FAFSA as well. do you know if they take your current income into account, or the fact that you will not be working if you were accepted into the program? with my income now i'm not sure i'd qua...

you're so positive, i love it! hopefully only about another week of waiting. i vote we all coordinate days we'll call and ask when letters are going out! haha!

BA in biology! This is group therapy..I check it constantly to see if anyone got their letters yet! I decided I'm going to call in sick to the current job the day after I get the letter- good or bad! My family doesn't really understand either, they j...
