  1. How did you get your hospital job???

    I have two friends that work at the hospital where I was just hired. Contacts are key!
  2. pct/nurse tech wages

    No experience as a CNA/PCT in Seattle hospitals start ~ $15 to $16 hourly, not including shift differentials.

    Yes, I'm in Seattle already. I'm actually posting more to the Facebook group instead of here. Are you in that group too?

    And with a fruity drink in hand :)
  5. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I just received that email too!
  6. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I don't want to count my chickens yet. Waitlisted is still possible, and I'd definitely prefer that over complete, flat out rejection. Yes, I do have a common last name, so like I said, I sure hope I didn't hack into someone's account, although I had...

    I know I said I wouldn't come back without a decision, but I couldn't wait :) I *had* to see if anyone else made it in to congratulate them! I also didn't receive anything in the mail today and was hoping I would. I did do the flaneur trick and I got...
  8. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    The whole email set up doesn't work for me either. At this point I either got in, got waitlisted, or didn't get in. Either option is what's meant to be, but of course I want to get in! When I know, I promise I'll tell y'all but until then I'm going t...

    Yep, mine (psych) changed this afternoon too. My shiz is gonna come out my niz if I don't hear good news too :)
  10. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    Did you get it open, Calinca?? :) My status just changed today. They're mailing me my results "as soon as possible". So exciting!!!
  11. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    Congratulations! Super super exciting!!!
  12. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I agree. I can definitely see how this isn't a linear process.
  13. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    My status hasn't changed either.
  14. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I'm so eager to find out the results. After thinking about it for nearly a week (I interviewed last Saturday), I think the question that threw me off the most was when they asked me to relate an experience where I advocated for someone. I wasn't expe...

    I had my interview yesterday and am relieved it's over. I actually walked away pretty satisfied with myself because I felt like I did relatively well. Of course, I forgot some things I wanted to mention! Right now, I feel like I won't really be surpr...
  16. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I'm envious that it's over for you. While I'm excited for my interview on Saturday, I'm also nervous and can't wait to be past it. Thank you for giving us a heads up on the questions. Like you said, they do seem pretty standard and what I expected. G...
  17. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I'm sure you did amazing! For me, I always feel that way when I walk out of an interview - I wish I had said this, and I wish I hadn't said that. I think it's normal to now go over what you remember you said and hoping you did well :) I'm certain you...
  18. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    Waiting is the hardest part! My interview was rescheduled from Wednesday to Saturday because a faculty member was unavailable. I'm very glad it was rescheduled - gives me more time and I'll be more composed on Saturday because I don't have to worry a...

    NursePracHereIcome - Different email address. Also, I'm assuming those dates are for all applicants. It doesn't specify this in the email. Calinca - 30 minutes with 2 graduate faculty
  20. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    Just received my interview date and time for the psych track. The email says interviews will be held on Feb 22, 25, 29 and March 1. I'm assuming this is for all tracks, not just psych though. It seems so soon!!!
  21. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I wish everyone could be invited to interview. I think that GPA, GRE score, a letter of intent, and two letters of rec can't fully describe our passion to become an NP. While I'm grateful (and was shocked) to be invited for an interview, I empathize ...
  22. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    Just got the email that I have been chosen for an interview. Who else? So exciting!!!
  23. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I applied to the PMHNP program. I had a minor breakdown while writing my letter of intent, but I got it finished, thankfully! Just playing the waiting game now. Sometimes it slips my mind that I finally completed the application, and then when I reme...

    I have also been told by an RN that an NP will not be hired without any RN experience. However, my close family friend, who is a PMHNP, said that isn't true. She is a preceptor every year for four PMHNP students and this year she said three were alre...
  25. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    I'm applying for the PMHNP track in December. Not sure how competitive I am, but I'll never be accepted into the program if I don't apply :) My former education includes a BS in chemistry (UW) and a MA in secondary science teaching (WWU). Ideally I'd...
