LovelyElly BSN, RN

Hi there! Our situations aren't exactly the same but I will describe my timeline so you can have some idea. I applied for AGACNP BSN-DNP Fall 2022. Oct 14, 2021: Submitted NursingCAS app Oct 21: Received email from UTHealth to submit s...

Hi all. The title explains my career goals. I’m curious if anyone has some insight for me. I’ve been a Periop RN for 5 yrs mostly circulating with some scrubbing. Absolutely love it. I went directly into a CVOR as a fresh new grad so I’ve never done ...

@hope2015 If there hasn’t been an application decision yet, it’ll be on https://apply.uth.tmc.edu/ where you can make sure you don’t need any other documents before they review it. Once you’re accepted it automatically migrates to https://my.uth.tmc....

I didn’t see a thread for this cohort yet. Anyone out there in this group? I applied for the BSN-DNP Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Track. Submitted 6 April. I know it’s early but does anyone know a timeframe? It says notifications are rolling so doe...

I was given verbal acceptance in my interview, app status updated about 5 days later, then acceptance email came like a week after that. CONGRATS!! The group is UTHSC Houston Cizik SON BSN-DNP Fall 2020 Cohort. I’m hoping we get more people in it as ...

Hey all! I didn’t see a facebook group for us yet so I made one. Feel free to join! Since we all start on the same track before branching out I figured we could all be in the same group ?

@bryanv just checking in! Did you interview yet? If so how did it go? Decision? Wishing you the best of luck!

@LNB84 Thank you for the supportive words. Turns out it was definitely just unfounded worrying. Got my acceptance to Acute care a couple days ago!

Applied April 6th. Accepted May 20th. I realize I am talking to myself but maybe this will help someone else, or I’ll find a classmate!

@bryanv just wanted to update that I got accepted today to the AGACNP track! I had to do another interview because the first one wasn’t with the right person. But before the 2nd interview was even over he told me I’d be admitted. Let me know what hap...

@bryanv It was by video chat using WebEx. Also it was 1 on 1, which I was kind of expecting a panel for some reason. Like I said though, very relaxed. The interviewers are all working from home according to the lady I spoke with.

I applied to the BSN-DNP AGACNP track. Had an interview last Thursday. It seemed very casual and like they really just want to get to know you better. Standard interview questions like “why do you want to be an NP?” “Why Acute care?” (FNP for you obv...

Not much attention on this thread but just wanted to say I got my interview invite today almost exactly a month from app submission. And my other emails answered finally as well. Hope to see others that have applied to Cizik on here!

Oh WOW! sorry, just saw the part where you didn’t want RNFA. There’s many CNS programs out there too. I know many OR nurses that went on to be AGCNS’s. You could also go AGACNP without the RNFA part and depending on your state, you could work with a ...

If you want to do first assisting you can get your RNFA. If you want to go even further you can go the AGACNP-RNFA route and bill for your services. They make a decent salary and working with a private surgical group could be great (in my very biased...

Also, anyone had any luck with getting an actual person to respond to email? I’ve sent 2 emails over the span of multiple weeks (regarding a different issue) with no reply. I’m getting plenty of automated ones from CSON though. I know manning is prob...

Recruiter just notified me of scroll approval 7/26, just about 2 months since notification of being selected. Will be commissioning this week!

Congrats! How were you notified of scroll approval?

Congrats St.BaptistRN! How were you notified of scroll approval?

Got my conditional selection letter 25 May. Currently an OR nurse. First assignment is Ramstein AB, Germany. COT date is 14 August, but my recruiter says it's unlikely I'll be scroll approved by then, and to expect January 2018. Incredibly excited bu...

I am interested in hearing from other unit-based Nurse Educators that may not have substantial nursing experience. I have been with my hospital and unit for about a year and a half. It was my very first job out of nursing school, but in a field (CV s...

Thanks jenny3dean! I'm also wondering about the lab packs we had to order. I followed the instructions to the T but haven't had anything shipped to my residence yet. I noticed the order form says "order ship date 8/20/13", do you think that means the...

So they told us not to start the drug screen until after July 19th, but on another page it says don't start until told to start by the department. Are we supposed to be receiving emails that say "Start the drug screen"? I don't want to wait too long ...
