1. MedStar Georgetown Residency Feb 2014 Hopefuls!

   LyssaZo replied to BlueJays2013's topic in Washington DC

   I sent in my application packet and spoke to the recruiter last Monday. She said we'd hear about interviews in the next couple weeks. She seemed confident in my chances to be placed in the NICU, but I did my preceptorship there and have volunteer exp...

2. I am stuck between which stethoscope to choose...

   LyssaZo replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I am also trying to make this decision and struggling with it. I got a Prestige Medical Clinical Classic as a gift and, though I was touched because my boss gave it to me in support of going to nursing school, I am bummed because I can't hear anythin...

3. Stethoscope Problems - The Pull Down?

   LyssaZo replied to Kristen8's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have a similar problem regarding my stethoscope, but not exactly the same. I have a Prestige Medical Clinical Classic and if I don't hold it steady the ear pieces twist and fall and I can't hear a thing. It seems like an issue with the weight of th...

   I got in, too! Congratulations everyone! I would definitely be interested in joining a Facebook group, I think that's a great idea. Maybe if anyone wants to meet up before school starts we can arrange it on there. It would be a good way for some of u...

   I live right outside of Boston and am also still waiting. I was so upset when the mail came yesterday and it wasn't there (just another Pottery Barn catalog...awesome). I too keep going through the possibilities in my head of why I have to wait and i...

   Oh finally! I was starting to get irrationally mad at the mailman.

   LyssaZo replied to ljw28's topic in Massachusetts

   Haha, I DID call the admissions office today (Sunday will be 10 weeks after all), but no one was in the office. I'm wondering if it was shut down for the week of the 4th. I should probably stop bugging them, but I feel like at this point we have all ...

   9 weeks as of tomorrow...I've never been so excited when the mailman comes. Who else is bummed that the Monday holiday means no mail for two days instead of just one? :)

    LyssaZo replied to ljw28's topic in Massachusetts

    I called the admissions office yesterday and they ASSURED me those of us who applied by the original deadline will hear within the original time frame. Thank god, because otherwise that seems really unfair, that even if we were a month late with our ...

    They're still accepting applications NOW? Why did I work so hard to get it in a week before the deadline!

    LyssaZo replied to ljw28's topic in Massachusetts

    I too am waiting anxiously! When I spoke with someone in admissions she assured me that the spots being offered to waitlisted individuals would not take a significant amount away from the available spots for the new cohort. So I'm...optimistic....I g...
