I feel pretty much the same! I did not answer the clinical questions 100% correct but (in my opinion) did well overall. I never felt like my nerves got the best of me and I believe I remained largely coherent throughout all my interviews ? The proble...
That's unfortunate! I work at a university teaching hospital and there is a specific person in the anesthesia department to contact for shadowing requests and a couple forms to fill out and then they set it up for you. I already knew who I wanted to ...
I will be applying to Baylor and UTHealth! GPA: 4.0 GRE: 323/4.0 CCRN and CMC BLS/ACLS/PALS/TNCC/NIHSS 3 years total ICU with almost 1.5 of that level 1 trauma/SICU Thank you for starting this ?
I love these threads! I will be applying to UT (and Baylor)! GPA 4.0, GRE 323 writing 4.0, CCRN-CMC, TNCC, 3 years total ICU time with the most recent 1.5 of that in a level 1 trauma ICU/SICU. Finishing up organic chem in 3 weeks.
BoxFish, did you ever get a straight answer from UT Health on an acceptable online-only organic chemistry class? I emailed two separate email addresses to ask them about a particular online orgo class through MSUM, with no reply. When I finally just ...
Do most CRNA schools require only one semester of organic chemistry? What about a lab requirement? The CRNA schools I'm looking at are in Houston, and I know the only way to be sure is to contact them, which I will do, but I thought I'd check with yo...

I have an ADN- Job searched for 5 weeks, applied to about 30-40 openings (pretty much ICU jobs only), got an interview for one of those ICU positions, got offered the job at the end of the interview, and took the job.
Have you looked at Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo? They will hire new grads. Honestly, if you have had multiple interviews but no job offers, I would get your interviewing skills critiqued. Please don't take this the wrong way, as I'm only trying ...
I graduated May '14 and didn't start looking for a job until the end of Feb '15 (new baby). In the meantime though, I volunteered as an RN at a clinic that serves the uninsured population. I still do it because I enjoy it. I did my preceptorship in t...

I would reply to your PM, but I don't have enough posts I guess. I liked the program a lot. The clinical experiences were fine, not what you'd get in a bigger city with more hospitals perhaps (you will not get an actual OB/L&D clinical experience...

I graduated from LCCC in May '14, and will graduate UW's RN/BSN program this August. I enjoyed my time there but we moved to Colorado for my husband's job. I stayed home with our littlest for a little while, began looking for jobs at the end of Febru...

Hi cowgrlnurse! I see you did ADN and UW at the same time so I would love to pick your brain! I start both ADN and RN/BSN this fall. So many questions for you.. you must be about done?? Theresa
Hey Heidi, I would LOVE to get your input on your experience with the LEAP program! I start both the ADN program at LCCC and the RN/BSN through UW this fall. I was told time and time again that I would never get into UW this early; that I had to wait...
Reading is awesome and the one everyone recommends :) Be warned though that his tests/expectations are a bit easier than the other teachers and so when studying, don't just know the minimum amount required because I have heard you won't be quite as p...

I'm not sure about Kaplan's program.. this test was for a program here in Wyoming at the local college. They just switched to the Kaplan test for this round of applicants as it is a new test and harder, so I guess better at weeding people out?

Hi! I just took the Kaplan yesterday! The science section is 20 questions, all A&P. To give you a good idea of the types of questions you'll see, I did come across this website, which gives a pretty darn fair representation of the questions on ...

Hi! I just took the Kaplan at LCCC yesterday and got a 90.. we need a 75 to apply. I believe this is the first semester they are requiring the Kaplan, which is a lot harder than any past tests since it has the A&P on it. I am currently in A&P...
