Duh just realized your sn is L&D so you prob work in L&D, lol.

How are you liking mercy? I'll be moving to Williston this June & I'm hoping to work there. What unit are you working in?

Thaismile & spacykase -- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- did people defer or not accept their spots? Did they tell you the reasoning for the opening? Can't wait to meet you guys!

The passing score is 67% and it's for the "overall" score

NCamp~ I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one who took a beating from the TDap. I got mine on Thursday & I literally could not lift my arm laterally for the next 24 hours. It's just starting to loosen up today. I felt like such a baby! Lol. ...

Jessica - you're awesome!! Thanks for answering everyone's questions so thoroughly. That's really thoughtful of you. Everyone else out there...guava, thaismile, etc ... are you bringing anyone with you to orientation or are you going alone? I don'...

I know other schools require a 67 .... I don't know if Cypress looks at the overall score or each score for the four portions?

what's the "passing" score for Cypress? anybody know?

My total score was a 30, with a 4.0 in my pre-requisites & I applied on the third day of the application period. Hoping to hear good news from the rest of you guys! Can't wait to meet everyone

Hey guys! I just received an acceptance letter in the mail! I'm crying tears of joy!

The paperwork says they take a "minimum" of 40 students each cohort, so there's still the possibility they would admit over 40. Also, even though that admission percentage sounds daunting, remember that there are many factors involved. We don't kno...

Hey guys- I spoke with an awesome counselor yesterday who told me letters should go out next week.

EllieBean- I applied for 2011 as well & have not heard anything yet either.

NCamp ~ Don't feel discouraged...I know the feeling, believe me! Where there's a will, there's a way. You never know. A friend once told me "Once God opens a door, no one else can close it". I can relate to all of your feelings though. I know th...

Cookiedough- I think she said sometime mid to late November is when they'll be sending them out..anyone else hear that same timeline?

Thanks all. Jessica, that is really great advice. Thanks so much for your input. Thank you guys for coming on here in the midst of work & school to respond to us. I appreciate it very much.

Leah, Jessica, & CaGuy, have you guys been working while in the Cypress program?

Hey LBgirl -- you get one point for each one you have completed. So if you qualify for having healthcare/volunteer experience, you get a point....if you qualify for the foreign language part, you get one point... if you've taken extra classes in the...

Thanks for the info leahfull! How are you liking the program so far? Where are they having you do clinicals?

Cookiedough, I'm not sure? Maybe if you emailed the counselor, she would tell you.

That is interesting....especially because at the info session she said she has yet to see a 30. She did mention she thought she'd be seeing some this app period, though. In the paperwork it says in the event of a tie, they look at the GPA in the sc...

The paperwork says "a minimum of 40 applicants will be selected each semester" ... so I guess at least 40, maybe more?

I hope it works out too : ) She said at the info session that we will hear by mid/late November...I'm not sure how many competitive applicants applied during this app period. I applied with 30 points. She said 28-30 is a very competitive score...s...

I haven't received anything yet either. The office told you two more weeks? Yowza.

Hi guavaturtle, I applied for Cypress 2011 as well. I showed up the first day too and it was already closed down for the day due to a high volume of applicants. I went the third day and had no problem.
