Would I care for an Ebola pt? yes. Ideally, only after training for level 4 bio safety/hazard training and was equipped w/airborne PPE and rubber. I have had the discussion with other RNs... It's been 50/50 yes/no. I think the decision is solely up to the RN and their decision should be respected. And I DEFINITELY think the gov't is down playing the potential airborne and spread of this. ERs/Hospitals would not be able to sustain themselves w/the influx of pts who think they have Ebola w/flu like symptoms. Which in turn takes resources away from pts with other needs. They also need to get there sh** together and start treating RNs like Golden Gods, we should be getting anything we ask for in terms of EVD, right now, like yesterday NOW. Bc if this thing really kicks off and RNs (i.e. me) don't feel 100% supported and safe, the gov't leadership can have a field day cleaning Ebola diarrhea. One. Time gov't. One time, just this once... Please don't screw this up!

Hi HDunnRN, No, but I've been on the phone with the admissions counselors… They said it takes 4-6 weeks avg. to get a response… sometimes sooner if it is an "acceptance". Looks like we are in the same boat! Good luck to you!

Hi, I've applied for the July and September 2014 cohorts… Would anyone be willing to share what type of applicant you were when accepted (GPA, experience) etc. I am finishing my BSN this Spring and am worried that no RN work history may make an un qualified applicant. Thanks in advance-

Hi all, I'm finishing my BSN this Spring and am currently in the process of applying to FNP programs... that being said... has anyone applied to Georgetown for the July and September cohorts and already been accepted? If so can you share your "stats" so to speak (G.P.A, experience etc.) Thanks!
