Hi everyone, I will enter my general nursing program @ CSU Chico, California this Fall! super excited. n I would like to ask for some advice about buying books throughout the programs. Since I got into the program, obviously I had had some experience...

I will have an interview with El Camino Hospital in Mountain View CA. This is my dream hospital to work at. So I am very excited. My background: A year of outpt ambulatory. A year of ICU exp in a very busy teaching hospital in the South. Combined Ne...

Hey guys, I will be going to MWU for Class of 2018. I did not know I had to apply for housing early, so my chances to get on campus housing is not looking good. Where did you guys find places for your first year? Any good advise for me?

Hi everyone, I am from the Bay area CA and I just got accepted into FNP program of Samuel Merritt. Anyone here has been to transitional FNP Master program (Not the Entry Level)? Can someone give me some feedbacks about the school and the program in p...

Hi there, I recently have accepted into CRNA school. So obviously my school is happy and thinks that my past ICU exp suffice. But I am wondering when I get out of school, would potential employers care more about my past experience as an RN anymore? ...

Hi there, They emailed and also called you for setting up interviews. About 2 or 3 weeks after I turned in my application. They should call you soon because the second round interview dates are mid Feb though. I did not get called back for the first...

I think they said as little as 2 and as many as 10. And yeah sometimes by the end of Dec. I wouldn't think they make decisions that fast. If so though, I didn't get to be first picks then. No one called me today. ^^

I am interview first round on Weds, I am trying to look up some information about the interview questions. Do you guys know if there is a heavy load of clinical questions? I have no idea what they would ask and am super nervous. I can do very well wi...

Hello guys, I will be interviewing next week. I am hoping you guys could help me. What should I expect for interview questions? I can handle behavioral questions, but I am quite worried about clinical questions. I took my CCRN a while back then, and ...

Hi guys, Just to start a thread to see if any of ya'll applying for next year? Anyone heard anything yet? I think my chance is pretty slim but still want to try to see how it is for the competition. :)

Heard anything yet guys?

I have a mixed feeling about how I did. But it was good that they were nice. Guess we all will find out on Monday. A couple people seemed already got a spot somewhere else and this was not their first choice. I hope they would tell the board soon, fo...

Did you guys get interviewed yet? How was it?

Ochsner has been having some shady stuffs with their staffing lately and many of us nurses are not quite happy with them. The Big O really needs to get their you-know-what together. However, ditto to other feedbacks, it's a good hospital to learn and...

Hey idichupa, the coordinator lady told me over the phone when I asked her. It may have been more than 70 but she said definitely it's selective from a bigger pool of application already. I am prepping very hard for this because this is the only scho...

I got invited for an interview with Samuel Merritt. It will be a panel interview in front of 8 people. Any tips?! I am very excited!

I am a little concerned about my GRE score. Mostly due to my incapability to study for a very boring standardized test as a working adult..... Another "excuse" (I'm trying to make for myself) is I lucked out in college as I did not have to take any M...

I got invited for an interview!!! OMG. I am so excited! They said they will be interviews about 70 candidates. I wonder they just interview all applicants??! Anyone else got the invitation? Any suggestions on pulling off the the interview? Thanks!

Congrats prospect. Would you mind sharing your Stat?!

I am quite soft spoken by nature and a guy. English is also my second language so sometimes I am not that quick to respond back to people verbally or it would sound quite hard to understand with my accent. I also always try to be polite and avoid any...

Can any of you who already had the interview please share some insights? What kind of questions they ask you? How many people are there for the panel interview? I did not get any call yet. I guess that means it already for me huh?

You all are right. I still apply. And if I don't get in, it's not meant to be yet. And I will try again next year or so.

Updates: It is definitely getting better and better with time. I don't know whether because I am used to it now or it just comes as you gain more experiences..... But everything is falling into place. All of your feedbacks are awesome. And somebody ...

Hi fellow ICU nurses, I am still in my orientation for my unit, week 3. Little background about myself: graduated a year ago and worked outpatient. And then luckily, getting dream job in ICU. I have some working experience, I am pretty used to commun...

It is getting better. I just need to know the background story a little bit more. I simply don't have time for doing that at the moment. LOL. But it's ok I feel like I am getting faster with time though so when I am handy with other stuffs I will pay...
