So I emailed BJ. She said the acceptance emails went out yesterday. They are having trouble with the waitlist emails.... so I guess the rest of us are waitlisted.

Nothing here either. If they are still having problems, they need to just start sending personal emails instead of this "new system" nonsense. They can break up the 90 people among the 4 of them and knock it out!

Same. What's going on?!

It appears that way!! Just one. Ugh. This is torture

Congrats!! No email for me

It was just to me. I interviewed this past Monday, and had emailed her afterward. That was just her reply. "You will hear from the program today." Lies!

Nothing on my end. This is borderline torture.

Yeah, I guess Shedlick misspoke, because i definitely didn't hear anything today like she said.

I got an email from Shedlick that said we would hear today.

They did say that! But mailing them out before Thanksgiving. Maybe tomorrow we will hear something?? í ¾í´ží ¼í¿¼

Nothing in the mail today.

Well, I did ask the nurse, and I just didn't like her answer. I realize what a YAWN is, I just didn't know if there was a significant difference between someone alert and oriented yawning and someone with a "neuro" yawn. Thanks everyone who tried to answer my question.

I am a new critical care nurse. I am taking care of my first "brain dead" patient. She isn't completely brain dead, she responds to painful stimuli, etc. I guess you could say she is a "vegetable". The nurse giving me report said she had a "neuro yawn". And yes, my patient does yawn... but what exactly is a neuro yawn? Anyone know? Or is it just like a habit or reflex to something? Thanks!!

I just got my first nursing job in critical care. The CC nurses float between ICU and the Step Down Unit. I work at a small hospital in a somewhat small town. I LOVE IT!! In my own experience, I think because it is such a small hospital/unit (8 bed ICU, 8 stepdown), the nurses are a close knit bunch (we don't have any CNAs, so we rely on each other A LOT) and are willing to grab me to experience something new, and are very open to help me. It's also great because I am getting ICU experience but we aren't a trauma center so it isn't TOO overwhelming. I personally like the ICU better than step down because everything is much more controlled in the ICU. Many patients are intubated and sedated, so you can spend alot of time on your assessments and patient care without being interrupted by call lights and such, and you can start to improve your time management skills without your day being totally chaotic. That's just me though... I would go for a small ICU. But either unit would be great experience and you will most definitely learn a ton! Good Luck!
