Has anyone (RNs) used AST (Association of Surgical Technologists) CEs for their CE requirement? Are they acceptable CEs? If not, does anyone have recommendations for CE courses that are not the generic RN CE courses of middling value to an OR RN? Thank you in advance!

black&teal: Feel free to ask, but also feel free to PM me if need be. My interview felt more official and not as casual than had been described by others. Of course, expectations are all different. I prepared a ton but just an ounce of it came into play. But had I not prepared as I did, I would have had a lot of "uhs" and "ums". Plus, thorough preparation gives you confidence.

r2ellie: Good luck! Some tips and bits o' knowledge to add to this: 1) Assume that your interviewer has not read your personal statement, resume, or application. Consider having your PS and resume in front of you during the interview. 2) Your application + interview results will be forwarded to a committee for review, and the latest you'll receive news of acceptance will be in June. 3) If any of the interview questions seems to elicit a vague response by not providing a hypothetical situation, add a little structure to it by adding a real-life example or a hypothetical situation yourself.

black&teal: The interview will be by phone (I live in CA), and it'll be next week on Wednesday. Thanks! Yeah, I've been hanging out here waiting for someone to start the thread. If you're curious about a timeline, I submitted my app online AND mailed my transcripts/LORs on 2/25. Tracking my transcripts, they arrived on 2/27 and were marked "received" online on 3/2, a Sunday. 7 days a week, those folks.

Hi peeps. A thread for University of Rochester ABPNN/AMPNN applicants for the Fall 2014, September 3 start. I figured this would be a good time to start a thread: I received a call to schedule an interview today. Quick turnaround! from the March 1 deadline. Good luck to everybody!

I'm four years too late, but this Bioethics requirement at MSMC can be fulfilled while in the AccBSN program. Apparently, it's offered during the fall semester, 3 hours a week.
