Sure, you can email me. I interviewed back in November and got accepted. I haven't received anything for scheduling other than orientation is sometime in August.

I will start this fall at 23.

Jessica, I can't send private messages on here for some reason. I have also heard it is laid back from reading past discussion threads. My interview is 11/1 as well, I will be there in the morning. I am nervous/excited! The thread makes me wait like 10min between posts. You should email me- [email protected] if you want! Holly

Jessica- Yes, my interview is next week. What about you?

Is anyone out there applying to Union's CRNA program this fall? Just wondering :)

Engrave it! Our residents "borrow" our stethoscopes all the time. I don't think they mean to take them... but they do. I always keep mine on until I put it in my locker when I leave. When ours go missing we just order a disposable one from Central Services. They surprisingly work pretty good! Lol

I have heard that some can be bad. The one I did has been around for a long time so they have made many changes making it very doable. They were also open for input from us on how they can change to make it better for new grads. Its a great way to retain nurses and keeps the new grads from hospital jumping within their first couple of years of nursing. Usually when more experienced nurses saw that we were a "nurse resident" they would take the time to explain things to us as opposed to thinking we should already know stuff.

I personally would rather work somewhere where I wasn't worried about being hassled by a curmudgeon nurse preceptor. Who cares about magnet. Go work at a university hospital. Better yet, get involved with a nurse residency program! It may seem like the end of the world now, but you don't even need to list them on your resume. A lot of hospitals will hire you with no experience. Good luck to you.

a patient with a family member who is a "nurse". You all know the type I am talking about!

That moment when we intubate and sedate a crazy patient!

Two types of students in nursing school; NOD's (nursing or die) and NGW's (nurses gone wild)

@Bluebolt Hey congrats! I was just wondering if you minded posting some stats like GPA, experience, CCRN, etc? I am possibly looking to apply at Union and was curious what they were looking for specifically. Thanks, Holly
