New to the forums. Its nice to see how everyone else is doing. Its encouraging to see people getting into the programs. Helps to keep one motivated. I'm applying to Univ. of Iowa, Mayo, Baylor, and Franciscan Skemp for 2010 admission. I've been in the ICU for 7 months now and I have already finished my orientation and am a part of the Heart Team. Have always been in critical care areas for my 7 1/2 years of nursing ranging from ER to Neuro interventional radiology. GPA 3.54 GRE 1190 470 vocab. 720 math and 4.5 essay. Enrolled in my BSN will be finished April 2010 ENPC, TNCC, PALS, ACLS and I am scheduled to take the CCRN in July. Wish me luck.
