Anyone know if they made all the calls today?

When I was there, Ava said that they are known for notifying a few people by phone before all of the notifications hit the GUS accounts. I'm still holding on.

Sooooo...I am excited for everyone that got accepted. Congratulations! Thats a BIG deal!!???

Now for my pitty party!...On a side note, I am so confused as to how they lied to me about other rounds of interviews. I specifically called twice this week and was told by two different ppl that they were still veiwing apps. I didn't even get a response for my app either way, which doesnt make ANY sense.

Not to rain on anyone's parade or sound entitled, but I have 7 yrs experience of ICU in level 1 trauma, CV ICU, BURN ICU, SX, Med and neuro ICUs, CCRN, honor society, all the clubs and national nsg associations I could join. My typical patient could be gsw to head /chest with bolts and icp drains to immediate postop heart sx with every cardiac gtt made. My letter wuda made a grown man cry and be inspired and GPA is good with several graduate classes. There is absolutely NO way I shouldnt have gotten at least an interview. Thank God I was accepted somewhere else, but the level of disorganization IMO, is disturbing. Sorry to sound "entitled" but it bothers me for ppl that have been working on this for yrs and didn't even get an email saying they have made a mistake and have put out wrong information about STILL veiwing apps. I expected that the 1st yr would be disorganized a little, but ppl have put their lives into getting into a program only to not even be considered for an interview.

But again, I'm EXTREMELY happy for everyone who DID get accepted and if u didn't, PLEASE DONT GIVE UP. APPLY TO EVERY SCHOOL U CAN AND CONTINUE TO improve your application. You will get your YES if u trust and depend on God!! Stay encouraged!!

Again, sorry if I sound entitled, because I really am a sweet and humble person, but I am saddened for ppl that have worked hard and still no results.

I would be wildly disappointed too! It sounds like your application was overlooked because you look very highly experienced. I know I had to follow up with a few things that were getting hung up in my GUS account. And then as soon as I fixed the hang ups, I got an email the next day for interviews. I feel like something definitely happened to yours. You sound very deserving! I would definitely be emailing again, and include the director/assistant director on there so they can be aware that maybe a mistake was made.
best of luck to you!!

I have no clue, have you tried reaching out to the nursing department?

Program director said this by the end of this week during interviews; student services say it could be sometime before April.

I’d like to believe the program director over student services, but it’s the end of the week and I haven’t heard anything. I emailed the program director Wednesday but have not yet received a reply.

Has anyone heard about the CRNA stipend program for the Army Reserves? You will receive a monthly stipend while attending CRNA school of over $2300 a month and you will be an officer in the reserves after graduating?

Hey there..... anyone applying for the fall 2021 Cohort?    I just wanted to start a new thread ?
