I am finally starting the application process and wondering if there are any recent applicants to Rosalind Franklin or Northshore out there with some words of wisdom? What do you feel made you stand out at either of these schools, did you get an int...

An excel spreadsheet is exactly what I did. Listed all schools by state. I initially applied to the local schools, because even though I was willing to relocated, it is obviously much easier not too. Then I used broad categories to get rid of obvious...

I also went with liberty university. I liked the 8 wk and 16 wk option, suggest only one at a time if you choose the 8 wk option, especially if you are working full time.

I am not offended, I feel like I got into a high quality school and am happy with my decision. Just don't want people to be closed minded when it comes to alternative lists. I would rather have gotten into my top choice off the alternative list than ...

missnurse01: I would like to see you get into your top choice school off an alternate list and turn that down. Speaking from someone just accepted off the alternate list, I would accept again in a heart beat. Many schools interview students meet or ...

sent you a PM

I am in! Still in shock right now, but nonetheless, I am in!!!

I agree with the above posts, our ICU is separtated into a neuro area at part of our main ICU, and though we see some hemodynamics in the neuro unit, probably not enough. If you do stay in the neuro unit, 2+ years of being a charge nurse would defini...

Decision day! Will be waiting by the computer!

I agree, I am getting very anxious just waiting. Anyone know if we are suppose to find out via email or snail mail?

Having completed the interview, and still cannot believe how hard this wait is. I really hope we hear something closer to the 5th and not the 15th. How is everyone else doing with the wait?

Waiting for my interview, let alone until October is already painful. Just curious, are you guys that are applying to Rosalind Franklin local or would you need to re-locate (or even commute I guess as another option)?

I did not apply to Northshore. Do you know how many people are interviewing at Rosalind Franklin. I did receive an interview there, just have had limit email access so was not able to post an update. I thought they said we would find out on the 5th, ...

Do you have any insite on how many applicants they are interviewing? I have gone ahead and put in a few more applications, but still anxiously waiting for an interview.

I know it seems like I am obsessively checking both, but this waiting is the worst. I am sure if either of us get an interview, we will have to go through the waiting again - I can't even imagine. Anyway, if I hear something either way I will definit...

SICU RN: Have you heard anything about interviews? I am getting a little bit nervous. The website states they are currently in the interview process at RFU, however I have not heard anything. You?

No interviews yet, and to be honest the only application I have completely submitted is Rosalind Franklin. Have some others in the works with later due dates, mainly schools in the Illinois/Missouri area. Starting to think maybe I should expand out f...

So just curious, have you been granted an interview anywhere yet? Where else did you apply?

Hi Everyone: I am very new to this site but am looking at schools and will be applying next year. I am currently looking in the Chicagoland area, but just found out Rosalind Franklin is losing there PD (and from what I hear they have had a few alre...

Dan: No that is what my friend told me too, I just could not imagine dropping everything and being ready to start. Though I understand the situation a little bit now. I guess if you get put on an alternative list, you get ready to go just in case. ...

Dan: Another question. Do you have any idea how the alternative list works at RF? I have a friend who is on it and obviously waiting very anxiously. Do you know about how many people are put on it every year? Is it true that she could find out tha...

Dan: Thanks for all the great information about the program. I have looked through the website and am very excited about the program, just was a little hesitant when I heard this information. However, your insite helps. I am looking at attending a...
