I got hired pretty easily and the hospital isn’t too far from home. They interviewed me for a unit I had no interest in working in and told me I couldn't work in my preferred one bc I know someone who works there. I gave it a chance and honestly, I didn’t come into nursing just to get a job. My heart is in neuro. This feels like self betrayal. Since I’m still being precepted, I need some advice. Do I apply to other hospitals who can offer me the unit I want to be in and if accepted leave my current job? Or do I finish my preceptorship? Right now I feel very unsatisfied.

my search for a suga daddy begins now :c ?

I didn't realize that u of r didn't require labs. My pre req gpa is around 3.15 whereas my cum. gpa is 3.46. I'm also nervous about my grades but they do take a more holistic approach compared to other schools.

Also, really cool to see other aspiring psych nurses on this fourm!

I'm based in nyc, so a few programs here such as NYU or maybe MSV. I already submitted my prior grades a while back so the new grades won't count with this application. I'm doing it to open more opportunities for me to apply to other schools just in case I don't get accepted into rochester. Hoping I do!

I'm currently retaking some of the pre reqs for a better grade so I could apply to other programs but I'd love to find out mid feb. It's a waiting game! I'll call back on the 11th if we don't get our decisions by then. Good luck to everyone!

Same, I applied a while back and I believe my interview was sometime in mid November so it's been a minute.

Not sure, they must have an admissions committee that reviews all our materials. Hopefully they do come around February. From previous threads, I've seen that the decisions actually went out much later than usual but that's perhaps because those cohorts probably had a large amount of applicants.

The interview in my opinion went great. They ask pretty straight forward questions and nothing took me to surprise. I asked about when we would be receiving acceptances and they said perhaps march! I have a friend who was accepted pretty late, apparently in late april!

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I appreciate that you were able to answer all of my questions! I hope to see you in May!

I have a few? Thanks for getting back to me! Could you tell me a bit about your experiences in the first semester such as scheduling, and clinical rotations? Also, I read on previous threads about the second semester not having as many seats as the first semester as a way to weed students out? Does the program have a competitive nature to it? How diverse is the student population? I've seen programs where most of the students have high gpas and have extensive medical backgrounds. I'm assuming most of the program is self study but could you describe the professors and how available they are with their students? And if you don't mind, could you share some of your stats when you applied? The average price of rent? I'm from brooklyn and if accepted I'd like to about how much I should have saved in order to cover it without taking out additional loans. Thank you so much!

Hello , I'd like to start a thread for the ABPNN May start. I interviewed sometime early October. This is for anyone with any questions. Also please! Any, advice from prior applicants and alumni would be much appreciated!

mine did! good luck!

yeah, I'm still waiting on a decision too!

Hi, has anyone who submitted their application near the October due date heard back already? I'm dying to find out already!
