I can’t find it

I also was unable to find it.

I tried multiple combinations of

ucla+APRN+2022 but nothing showed except the APRN 2021 group

Maybe it's the privacy setting for the group?

4.0 nursing school GPA

2.5 years as a cardiac tele RN

Participated in shared governance council for 2 years

Strong letters of rec

Strong personal statement/statement of purpose. I didn’t do so hot during undergrad before nursing school, so I explained how I took it as a learning experience and how I’ve improved

I highly recommend going to an info session if they’re having them and if you’re close by

I applied with 3.8 Nursing GPA, 2 years of experience in the ICU/step-down/floor, strong letters of recommendations, and medical missions/volunteering. I also spent a lot of time on my personal statement/statement of purpose. I think it really helps to be able to know why you want to pursue a certain specialty based on your experiences.
