UCAN Denver 2021

Hi!

I submitted my application in April. Fingers crossed we’ll hear back about interviews! I have two coworkers who applied for the tradition 2 year program & both completed their interviews online. I’m super excited about everything. Background- I have my BA from CU Denver in international studies & moved to DC for a bit after graduation. Moved back home last Summer & am ready to start nursing school!

Awesome @rnan24! Do you work in the medical field currently?

I'd be interested to hear how the online interviews went for your two coworkers. From what I've seen, it seems like we won't hear if we have an interview until around the end of June ?

I’m currently working as a CNA ?. They both had individual interviews & not group interviews. It’s so hard waiting LOL. I’ll definitely post here if I hear back & when. Are you working in software development now?

molbroo · Jun 11, 2020

Agreed – It's so painful waiting! Good luck to your coworkers!

I am working as a software developer right now. Thankful I can still work during these crazy times ?

Hopefully we hear something soon ?!

Hi! I also applied to the UCAN 2021 program, and just an anxious to hear back! I just found this thread from the last few years and honestly got a little nervous.
A little about me - I’m from TX I have a BA in Psychology from Texas Tech and was a special education teacher for 2 years near DC. I moved to Colorado in 2019 & decided I wanted to pursue nursing, so I finished pretend & got my CNA certification, & have been working at a hospital since the beginning of this year. It’s been a good experience learning from the nurses, and I can’t wait to hear back - although I think I would much rather have in person interviews.

Hoping we all hear back soon though!!

Hey!! Oh nice! I think we should be hearing back by the end of this week or early next week. I lived in the DC area as well. What part of DC were you at? I’d love to meet up and grab coffee or something with you guys (in a safe manner of course). My number’s 303-330-9472.

Jholl94 · Jun 24, 2020

Yes I heard by July 6th latest! Hoping it doesn’t take that long though haha.

How cool! I loved actually in Germantown MD but worked in Rockville, so about 25 min from DC. Where were you??

I'm totally down to meet up!! I think it would be helpful to have familiar people going forward! & just to make some new friends haha, it’s a lot harder to do out of college ? I will text you!

Ms.FutureCRNA100 · Jun 24, 2020

It’s soooo true. It was much easier back in school. Hope we all get into the program together! Yeah, I agree, at least we’ll make some more friends! I lived in Fairfax, so NoVa area & was about 20 mins from DC (without traffic LOL).

Nice to meet you @Jholl94 – I also got really nervous after looking at previous years' threads for some reason. I would love to meet up with you guys!

I also received the email where they said that we would know by July 6th. From looking at previous years' threads, it looks like people consistently heard by around the last day of June, so I'm hoping we find out then too ?.

I'll text you @rnan24 and we can all make a plan to meet up (safely) ?

@Jholl94 @molbroo @rnan24 Hi guys! Just found this thread thankfully! Where did you guys hear about a response by July 6th? Just wondering if I missed that part in one of their emails. Thanks ??

Ms.FutureCRNA100 · Jun 26, 2020

@dharrigan13 Hey! Yes, the College of Nursing sent out an email informing us that they’ll send out an email by July 6th. The email was sent to me on 6/15/2020.
