I am planning to apply to ECU. I'm getting ready to take my GRE this Friday ... scared of how I will do (my last practice exam was 293 but working on my weak point)
would like to see what people think of my stats so I can see if I have a chance because I can only apply to 1 school (my husband is military and we have been separated for a 1.5 years so I could get my ICU training. Don't want to be separated anymore)
1.5 years CVICU just started my first travel contract (co-chair of ICU mentorship program, skills educator for new grads, preceptor, launched a pilot on my unit, member of UBSC) also split my time at the hospital as a rapid response nurse (great residency program as a new grad & worked overtime 5-6 shifts a week for the first year so learned a lot really fast)
ADN GPA - 3.43 BSN GPA - 3.46 Science GPA - 3.6
CCRN-CMC, BLS/ACLS/PALS
volunteering vaccination clinic for 4 months
great references/recommendations from my clinical supervisor, 2 charge nurses, and the professional development educator of the residency program.
weak points: small amount of experience, B average student, realistically might get a 290-305 on the GRE ... depending on my nerves and study for the next few days
*to add: CCRT, IABP, open heart post-op care, VAD, ultrasound-guided IV trained.
be blunt & honest, please. feelings don't get hurt easily. thanks in advance.

Hi! I am also planning to apply to ECU one day and was wondering if you heard anything back from your stats or applied yet? I have similar stats and wanted to gain some insight!
