Oops, I mean 10 candidates selected. Sorry!

Ritcal24 did such a great job explaining the process. I actually got all of my application and everything done in about a week and a half, which is absolutely insane. The average time is about 6 months for completion. Some of the things that you might want to focus on before starting the process is to start getting some references in line. My recruiter wanted 5 references, 2 of which had to be clinical instructors that could explain my work ethic in the hospital and interacting with patients. Also make sure that you can make weight and can pass the physical (no extensive medical history) because these things can automatically set you back or disqualify you altogether. They accept 15 candidates nationally and it is sometimes possible for them to accept more candidates if they decide that they need them or for them to pull from the ANCP list if their RN program (I'm not sure what the name is) does not successfully fill all 25 positions. I am currently wait-listed and second on the list; my recruiter said that we should know between March and May, so I'm anxiously awaiting the news. Either way, my best advice is to start talking to your recruiter once you are at a good spot in your nursing program and get going on the application. I didn't know about ANCP until two weeks before the deadline, so just be sure that you know it's what you want to do and get working on that application once it opens in June. Best of luck to you, kaner!!

Hello! I'm actually on the wait list and anxiously awaiting a decision! I know that 6 spots are definitely taken and 4 spots are awaiting qualification. I'm hoping that something works out! Congratulations on your acceptance! How is everything going?
