Is it too early to start one? I couldn't find one. Maybe too early?

I am planning on applying to the TT 2nd degree BSN program in May in hopes to begin in January 2017.

Anyone else?? Anyone in the program currently or recently have any info to share??

Thanks!!

Hey @cheinroth. I'm currently in the Austin cohort right now. The interview is pretty relaxed, it was for me at least. They ask you questions about your background in healthcare, where do you see yourself in 5 years, what is your support system like, what do you do in times of stress, how do you do with studying online, etc. they want to make sure you know what you are getting into..

Hey @skhansaba, I'm in the Austin program right now and I had very little clinical experience. I got my CNA about 10 months before the program started but I never worked as a CNA because I already had a full time job and was honest about that in my interview. I think it is more about your background as an individual. I have my masters in social work, I'm a doula (birth worker) and was a volunteer in the hospital. I think those experiences overrode the fact that I never worked in the hospital.

I heard back within a few weeks after the interview that I got in. It was definitely less than a month. I'm in the Austin cohort right now.

Hey everyone! I applied to Austin 2017. I have a BA in Psycology, CNA, BLS, Medical Terminology and volunteer experience. Looks like everyone is as excited and nervous as I am. Good luck to us all!!

Yeah that's how I felt exactly. Hopefully it will still be first week of August, but that was the latest update as at this evening.

Thanks for the update. Did they happen to say when interviews would be?

I didn't ask. I assume it would be later in August, or maybe in September.

Last year's applicants received interview invitations starting on July 28th so I'm REALLY hoping we'll hear something this week!!!

I'm an applicant for the Austin cohort. I spoke with them today about a prerequisite and asked about interviews invites, and they said that they'd likely start to end invites out in mid-August.

Good luck to everyone!
