The local hospital offers a nursing internship (Advanced Care) which I have interviewed for and am waiting to hear back about. I interviewed August 10th and every deadline they have given me to hear back has been pushed back. The latest date I was given was this past Tuesday. No word, I emailed and I got a response on Wednesday. They would like me to come in and shadow a nurse on the trauma unit. So this morning it was set up for me to go in on Monday. While this has been going on I also had an interview on the floor I precepted on (med surg) last Thursday. This afternoon I was offered a position via voice mail. The manager said I could call back next week, but I called and left a message saying I was very thankful and am very interested. I said I had a few things I needed to smooth out and would get back with her with a definite answer by Tuesday. I want to see on Monday if I can find out any more about the internship as it was too late in the day to talk with the internship contact. I am going to tell them that I have another offer but I would really like the internship and I really need to know, because I do not want to lose the other offer. So my question, if I find out I got the internship, is it worth it, or should I take the job I was already offered? This is going to be my first "big girl" job, and I really do not know what to do. I know they say your first job may not be your first choice, but I want to find out about the internship, but also do not want to miss out on another great job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

As I said mine took about 26 hours to go up. Also the BON website says it can take up to three days. I know its not easy but relax and be patient!

Yes I did! Hopefully yours will show up today (lol since its Wednesday already)!

Took the test yesterday morning. Went home and immediately checked to see if I got the good pop up, and I did. Plus my name was put up on the board of nursing this morning!

Took mine yesterday morning it was up around 11:30ish today, so about 26 hours for me!

Sinclair has a wait list of about 7 quarters, but you can work around that. The Accelerated Admission for Academic Achievement (aka Quad A) program allows you to gain accelerated admission if you meet the requirements. Here is a link to the specifics, http://www.sinclair.edu/academics/lhs/departments/nsg/sinfo/AdmissionRequirements/aaaa/index.cfm. I graduated with a bachelors in spring 2009, did all of my prerequisites, and started in Spring of 2010 through Quad A, so my wait was only the time it took to do the prerequisites. It is a really great program, and I am so excited to be done in June! Good luck, if you have any questions about the nursing program or Sinclair please don't hesitate to ask!

It does not sound like you were stuck, but if you are still having concerns I would talk to your instructor. I know that my school offers to do blood work from both the patient and yourself if this sort of thing happens. Even talking to your teacher may ease some of your worries, even though it is after the fact.

If you apply AAAA (Quad A) the start of the spring quarter, you may be accepted for the fall quarter, here is the info http://www.sinclair.edu/academics/lhs/departments/nsg/sinfo/AdmissionRequirements/aaaa/index.cfm?searchTerm=nursing%20AAAA Good luck!
