So I survived barely too. The panel was great and very welcoming! The interview itself......well I froze up totally. All the anxiety I had just overwhelmed me! I was not speaking thoroughly. My answers to the questions were choppy (mainly due to the nervousness) man I wish I can turn back time and get a do over:) the little paper we had to write in the end was thekillerof all killers! My mind went totally blank. I felt bad that they were just sitting there waiting for me to finish. Whoa! I can't believe I blew that away. Bloomsburg is beautiful. I saw myself there. Quiet and peaceful just the way like it. Perfect for graduate studies. I'm crossing my fingers and praying. Goodluck with everything fawn :)

Man oh man just had my interview yesterday and I sttu sttu stuttered like never before. I was not answering any of the questions I was given smoothly. On top of that I had to write a quick essay or some sort in the end with the panel being there in front of me. How nerve racking. Sucks that you know the field and you know how to be an excellent critical care nurse and you freeze at that moment when it really counts! I wish I can turn back time and get a do over! I feel your pain sammer! I have quite the same background as you and I fumbled with the interview big time. Stay focus and try again is the best thing to do now. Keep your head up!

next week :uhoh21: ill let you know how it goes

Ibm5 Thanks for the input. wow you did it. I'm sure you did well. 9 students? whoa, how nerve racking! Hopefully they will change their mind and make it 20 students! that will be a blessing! Well anyways good luck! cross your fingers. Again thank you for updating us. take care!

Hey Fawn, You made through the interview! How did it go? Hopefully you knocked them off their shoe! Im sure you did well. well ill let you know how ill do in a few weeks. any advice? word of wisdom? well take care ok! hopefully you'll hear some good news soon. god bless!

Hey Fawn, Thank you for the response. It was very helpful. I appreciate all the time. People tell me that Pennsylvania as a state is beautiful so I'm excited to come visit. I was reading about BU and I think your right about what AANA stated about new and old programs. We all learn the same information, just in different ways, I guess. I'm a little worried now that you said only 12 students get in. I hope you do make it. You seem to know the area hospitals and the area itself. So that's a plus. You'll do just fine. Remember to relax and stay confident as people say. Good luck tomorrow! take care Mil

Hey Fawn, I live out here in California, been working in SICU 5 years, peds before that. CCRN 2 years now. Im refreshing too on the clinical areas too. What do you mean published? Do they look for that? lol. I'm a little excited but scared. How do you like the hospitals out there? I think you'll do just fine. How many applicants do they accept? I've never been in the east coast, so it should be interesting. Good luck again ok. Two days left till your interview! Stay positive! Mill

Hey Fawn, I interview Nov 23? Wow you go before me! :) I'm Nervous. Good luck! I hope you do well. Will you let me know how it goes? Hopefully all goes well ok. Take care and stay positive! God Bless!

Thanks Ibm5! good luck! hopefully we will see and meet each other in the near future! :)
