Did you find out how many people are placed on the alternate list? I emailed to ask what position on the alternate list I was and they wouldn't tell me.

I only got one that said summer 2013 externship, then summer 2015 externship.

I'm too scared to ask also. I wish they would tell us what number on the alternate list we are.

How many alternates do they choose?

I got an email as an alternate as well. Congrats everyone!

That makes me so sad! I guess I can stop refreshing my email now. Thanks for the update!

I would probably wait. At this point they probably have their decisions made. If you got chosen they would just have you send in the updated one.

Everytime I get a notification from this site im afraid people are going to say they got responses and I havent haha.

Something that helped me a lot is the Saunders nclex-rn examination book. Mostly the online program. You can purchase just the online part for like $25 and it has at least a thousand practice questions and rationales for them. You study by the section so it's awesome to use throughout the entire nursing program. It has made me learn how to get used to the format of questions, how to eliminate answers and prioritize. You can get the book and online part which the book has reviews for each section and a few questions at the end of the chapter.

I don't know anything about that university I'm sorry. However, you can always pull up the application for their nursing school to see what they require. For instance some look for volunteering or job experience. You could also email advisors through the university to get information like that. Just look them up in the directory on the website or under future students. when I was in high school I did shadowing and volunteering at my local hospital to observe what the job would be like and what it entailed. I volunteered in about four or five different areas. Pull up the website to your local hospitals and type in volunteering and you can apply through there! Its really important to keep up your grades in college and keep in contact with your advisor to make sure you are on the right track. For the universities I applied to, it didn't matter if you had your CNA. That's more looked at if you go the LPN route. Good luck!

I applied as well. I wonder if they just call us or send an email saying we got an interview? I'm kind of lost on the process for this externship.

Yay! That's awesome to know! It's not as much of a guessing game as to when we will know.

It's ok we were all there at one point!

I wouldn't stress it. She told me she wasn't sure if my kaplan score was competitive enough and I still got in. Don't let her scare you. Apply, the worst thing that can happen is you get declined and reapply next semester. If you don't get accepted you can defer your enrollment to NAU so you don't have to pay the application fee again.

Good luck! They are pretty good at emailing back too. I think I had set an appointment with him when I did it. I got accepted to GCU and NAU but chose NAU
