I meant to post an update. I was on the waitlist and received an offer for adult acute surgical last week. I have declined it as I have a different offer that will also pay back student loans, so I ended up taking that. Good luck to anyone still waiting and to everyone on the NCLEX!

I haven't heard yet, interviewed for acute adult surgery. Did they email you about the waitlist or call you? That's still a good sign, you never know what the people who get first offers have going on.

Yea, idk what happened with this. It wasn't my first choice anyways, so I haven't bothered to follow up but I feel like at this point we should have been made aware if they wanted us for an interview or not.

Congrats to everyone hearing things so far! I finally had my interview this morning. They had asked me on the phone weeks ago to Interview for SICU or MICU but today was for Adult Acute Surgery Track so that was a little confusing but still very exciting none the less. FYI For those interviewing for that track, Tracy said that they should start notifying people around the 5th of April.

I just got a call and I didn't get my track choice, which was Trauma, but they did offer me a SICU or MICU interview and I'm going to take the SICU. I doubt they've started notifying people of full out rejections yet until they've scheduled ample interviews for all of their open positions.

Not that knowing actually helps at all, but has anyone heard of interview calls for Trauma ICU?

No, nothing yet. I turned my application in on Dec 31st.

Thanks for the insight, I'm definitely going to be looking for a roommate if I get lucky enough for an offer. I have a few friends that have lived in the area for years to ask advice on for traffic and places to avoid; anything I find out i'll pass along as well.

I too applied and submitted my application at the end of December, I was under the impression that they begin scheduling interviews in the beginning of January and the slots are filled first come first serve until there are no more from a UVA recruiter at one of my school events. As for references, I was unsure and getting a direct letter from people and submitting it myself seemed odd so I just submitted a document with names and contact information for people who had said I can use them as a reference but don't know if this was right. Not hearing anything back yet is making me nervous.

Well, my entire packet is submitted now! Fingers crossed for all, let the anxious waiting and trying to focus on current coursework begin!

Just to clarify on this question, once you type in the reference emails in the online, second part of the application process it sends them an email when you hit submit on the reference page (not the final application "submit"). You cannot submit the entire second portion of the packet until it shows that your references have filled out their forms. So, you'll have time to work on your letter of intent but I would make sure the auto-generated emails for your references are sent out ASAP so they have time. This somewhat confused me at first, so I learned by just trying it lol

Hello all, Just want to introduce myself since I plan to creep through the rest of the comments. My name is Lauren, current ABSN student at UNC-Chapel Hill in NC. I've already completed all parts of the primary and secondary applications, minus the letter of intent. I'm trying to get that puppy done in the next day or two as I know the deadline is Feb. 2nd. I'm trying to do critical care and am having trouble deciding between Trauma ICU, Surgical ICU or ED; I did not get a preceptor placement in either of these from my school and so I'm kind of taking an educated shot in the dark. I am interested in potentially going for a flight nurse type track down the road but obviously will see how my employment satisfaction goes before committing to that. I'm only applying to level 1 trauma centers for now; I like "game-time" type environments. What track are ya'll applying for? Previous BS degree was in molecular, cellular and developmental biology; worked in genetics diagnostic testing and molecular oncology research before switching careers. No NA, CNA experience and all that I have from the best 6 months for work or volunteering is a student volunteering trop I took for two weeks to San Jose, Costa Rica and being VP of my RN school's aspiring critical care nurses club.

I found it, request sent!

I can't seem to find the fb group, is it private or something?

I had to go to work before my mail came, the suspense has been killing me. I got in as well!!! I'll look for the fb group, thank you for creating one. Congrats to everyone and my condolences to those who did not get in the year.
