Yes I'm in the CAGS program since I already have a master's in nursing. I took pharmacology and pathophysiology this Summer. And class was every Wednesday for both classes. Now I'm in advanced physical assessment and it is every Wednesday in person. Maybe once or twice a semester it's on Zoom but they require us to practice our assessment skills on actor patients and each other since that is how we are graded. I look forward to next year with clinical placements which for the FNP program would be two eight hour days a week plus a once a month classroom in person meet. It's totally doable if you work 3 12s in hospital. I work mon- Friday 9-5 and have had to use all my Paid time off hours for school. Good luck

Congratulations!

I also was wait-listed. Just found out today May 27th. Did you end up getting a notification of acceptance since March? I'm concerned. Thanks for your response in advance. Good afternoon. I applied late in April and recieved a letter stating they liked my credentials but I will be placed on a wait-list. Has anyone heard back from being wait-listed for Fall 2021 at Pace University's FNP program. Any info to share of your experience or what you have heard would be helpful. Thank you!!

I am currently speaking with the admissions counselor for the DNP program at Grand Canyon University. I am being told by others I have spoken to that it is a good program that can be completed in under 2 years and is 36 credits total. I am skeptical since I have been told its not the highest quality but the most practical and a legitimate degree. Are the professors helpful? do you feel you can handle it with fulltime work? Thank you RNVP25

Hello They are focusing on internal transfers currently. they have been very selective with their outside hiring. Stay persistent and dont give up!

Just want to say thank you to BionicRn for your posts. they are most helpful. awaiting to hear back from NYU.

Thank you very informative. I work at a hospital in Brooklyn as an RN and the NP's are great on my floor. can i set up a contract there with school for my clinicals?? Thank you again

So after a year of keepin on maimonides, i managed to get called in for a final interview with nurse manager. I have been hired!!!!! I start july 8th. So excited I will be working at my dream hospital. It also helped that I finished my BSN. The recruiter mentioned thats what they are hiring now. Only bsn nurses. So to any of you who do not have experience in hospital you will need your Bsn to even be seen by HR. but persistence and perseverance always gets you in!! Good luck to everyone.

there was no panel. i guess i didnt get that far. i am still working as an ambulatory surgery center for endoscopies. i am hoping by the time i hit one year of working as a nurse that i will be able to break into a hospital.

whomever you meet with will provide you with an email address. you should email your follow up and send the hand written one (optional) addressed to the person you met asap!

i am glad to hear that you were able to re enter the program, for many it has not been an easy ride back into the program. I luckily have graduated and since there am an RN. but the program at citytech was difficult, unorganized and unapologetic. regardless anyone can complete it if they stay focused, study and can endure the studying as one would in the career as well.

hey srn789, so the DON mentioned the nurse manager will still need to make a final decision. dont know what that means. i wrote a follow up email from last thursdays meeting and have not heard back from him....rumor has it from another friend who interviewed is that there are 15 spots for the july and that there are over 1500 applicants applying. not sure when i could expect to hear that i may be a good fit. i will email or call again to follow up if i dont hear anything in the next two weeks. i do know hospitals take time to finish a hiring process. but i just dont want to be left in dark about what they are doing or deciding..

I have not met with a nurse manager nor know abt a panel interview. Thats strange. I wonder if they would call me back for that after todays interview. I didnt realize they did that kind of hiring. When did u interview with them?

Hey srn789 I had the interview today and was told that there are few openings and that there are many applicants for those few openings. she asked things like what is the worst clinical experience, best cliinical and what is a patient that you had and give diagnosis, assessment and plan of care..etc.. was told that its very likely a BSN would get hired. but she was nice i guess..she still had be do paperwork and went through the motions of salary and benefits. I already did a follow up and hope to hear soon about what they decide.. I also met with the CNO and had a nice conversation. he said they do hire exceptional associates degree nurses. we shall see. How do you know you were rejected? and how did you land the interview? from your friend's recommendation? Thank you shorty king for you prayers..

hey joe yes i agree..do you have your bsn btw? also when receptionist say, "apply online" you shouldnt walk away. what did you say or do in certain situations to make your visit to a hospital notable to a recruiter? how did you get through the "doors" that were closed. i have been to a few hospitals and they refuse for me to meet with the recruitment staff... thank you
