Good luck everyone who applied and invited to the interview at Penn. I'm a first year SRNA soon to be 2nd year at Penn. It has been a great experience, personally, for me. Love the program, overall, so far. I've been in the clinical for 7 months now...

Yes you can take certain courses beforehand. I was thinking the same way last year and I spoke with two of the SRNAs from the 2017 Cohort. They said you can take it. However, you have to ask the program director to matriculate you prior taking those ...

To all my fellow 2018 Cohort, the summer and fall course registrations are now open and fully functional.

Congratulations!!! I will be more than happy to share with you my experience with the program once I start as much as I can when time permits . Good luck to you too!

Our three years journey starts May 10th. Together, we shall sweat, bleed, and cry marching to the top of Mount Victory :)

Great, I work in one of NYC CTICU... Long Island isn't too far...

what a nice surprise :). Welcome... Are you working in NYC, by any chance?

submitted my application on second week of March, interviewed on third week of May, and received decision on third week of June.

Thank you sir/mam.

Hi wjsb, you mentioned a hand book. I don't think I have one. Where and how can get one? Also, I am a dad, so I will definitely need to learn some of those jokes from you :). Btw, since we are going to spend three years together, is it okay if I ask ...

7 more months...are you guys excited? Can't wait to start the journey with all of you. I know it won't be a cake walk at all. The journey will be filled with our blood and tears, but I believe we are all going to make it. See you all soon :)

I just got my POS sent to my email.

Sylvia never responded to my email. After I saw your post, I just sent her another email asking her if I can receive mine over email. Thanks Ldv119 for the input.

Yes, I don't see it on my application portal either. Tried to call the nursing admission office this morning, but no luck... I sent an email to Sylvia English as well... Looking forward to meet with all of you next year :)

Thank you

I'm joining you all next summer :)

Thank you :)

I hope I can join you guys in 2018.

Hi Ldv119 and wjsb, Thank you for all of your advices. I got the interview invite. I really hope, like you said, that I can convince Dr. Lord and Ms. Winner that I am ready for the program. I am hoping that I can be part of the group in 2018 :). I wi...

Hi Leslie119, Thank you for the input. I really hope I'll get the phone call. I hope you won't mind if I am asking about your GPA and how many years of ICU experience do you have? I only have a little over CTICU experience to date, although I will ha...

Hello All, I have completed my application for the Summer '18 program on March 11th and I have received an email on March 21st from the admission office saying that my application is now moving to review process. Should I have the privilege to be inv...

Hello all, I have couple questions in mind. I started the application early August and completed the application on early September 2012, it was marked "sent to committee" I am on my third clinical semester ADN program. I anticipated to graduate in S...

Hi Fabulous123, as long as you'll have your RN license by September, you'll be fine. If you don't have it by then, I think they will force you to withdraw from the classes. Classes are manageable. They were not difficult if compared to the "real nurs...

Don't know much about program elsewhere, but Downstate's program was pretty good in my opinion. They are pretty flexible. They usually work with your work schedule. I was on my orientation for my first nursing job when I started at Downstate. I think...
