Hi Rocco, Nice to hear from you. Am sweating bullets :sstrs:coz i dont know what to expect during the interview. To PM someone, you have to post 15 messages to the general board. After this you can go to your account and PM whoever. I will keep you posted. SUEN

Hi Suen,

Did you say your interview was May 20th? How did the interview go? You're going to have to tell me all about it. I'm dying to know...my interview is Monday

Thanks,

Rocco

Hi Rocco, had my interview on the 20th and nerve wrecking as expected. The wait is even worse. I would suggest cover all areas and relax. I think they have 78 to interview for 32 seats. The stakes are high:eek:. PM me. Thanks

Suen,

I'm sure you did great. When do you find out if you got selected? How long did the interview last? I don't think I have the ability to PM yet. Talk with you soon. I'll let you know how my interview goes.

Thanks,

Rocco

Hi, they said acceptance letters will be mailed out two weeks after the last interview i.e june 10th. So we will find out around the 25th to the end of the month. The interview lasts about 30 min, and you have the option of taking the school tour. the sch is in the same building as the administrative office, so the tour is fast. Good luck on monday. SUEN

Hope all went well during the interview. I am dying to share the experience. You gotta make enough postings to pm. Otherwise it would be nice to hear from you. SUEN

Hi Rocco78, Its my hope you are still hanging in there after the interviews. It would be nice to hear from you. Are you able to pm as yet? How did you like mn asnd especially the campus area. Are you originally from mn? You might be familiar with the street names then. I wish you all the best during this agonizing period.Suen

Hi Suen,

I guess I can't PM yet...how crazy is that. I thought my interview went well; it lasted about 45 minutes. However, I did not get a tour, so I hope that doesn't mean anything bad. The interviewer was very nice and we had good conversation, mostly about my clinical experience. I am originally from Minnesota and I have family there, so I spent some extra time with the fam. To top it off, the weather was perfect, which is rare in MN. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. So now we just have to wait, which seems to be the hardest part. Talk with you soon.

I totally have a different feel. I thought my interview was rather short, questioning whether i aswered all their questions right. The more i think about it, the more am convinced i boomed the interview. Am sitting at the fence here wondering ummmm, did i blow away a lifetime oppurturnity? What did they say about notification? I wonder whether pple are still interviewing or hopefully we all interviewed. When do we here from them? Its just crazy.

Rocco78 · Jun 5, 2009

The more time that passes, I review in my mind what I said in the interview, there are several things that I would have said differently and there are several key important things that I wanted to discuss in my interview that I completely forgot to say. I am totally kicking myself in the rear about not mentioning these key important facts about myself. However, I was just being myself during the interview and did the best I could; I hope that was enough. I bet you did great on your interview. We can't let these thoughts race through our minds now, because it will just drive us crazy. It's out of hands at this time and it will be hard to wait for 3 weeks, but it will all work out in the end.

The interviewer said the last interview is June 10th and the notifications should come out anytime after June 20th to 25th. Lets just breath, relax and enjoy the summer. Talk with you soon.

hi Rocco78, Did u happen to meet other students during the interview. I hope more pple would join the discussion, makes the life bearable. By the way, my birthday is on june 28th. I wonder what kind of a party to plan, cheers or leave me alone. But facts are facts, some of us will be let loose. Did u ever ask about the waiting list? Do the pple on the list autimatically get in the following year? I think i heard something like this. Suen

Hi SUEN,

I didn't meet any students during the interview. Did you get to meet any students?

I'm not sure how their Waiting List works either; it would be interesting to find out.

Do you have extra certifications like CCRN, PALS, TNCC?

Thanks,

Rocco
