Yes I do! I’ve heard it’s hard.

[S3682]

I’m sure it’s just as hard. Have you talked to the school to see if PICU is acceptable for experience? I know I had To move to CVICU because my last experience was not acceptable.

Your references will not get anything for them to fill out until your application has been submitted. I submitted mine yesterday and one of my references notified me they had finally received a reference email to fill out.

'I'd just like to point out the in-state tuition rates apply after the first semester of school if you apply for residency at the beginning of the program (according to one of their open house information sessions)

Anyone gotten anymore information regarding tuition? I'm will be applying out of state, but would like to know more of a rough estimation of the total cost of the program. By the way, is this a public school?

According to the Admission requirement:

"Applicants must show proof of 2000 hours of work experience as an RN before registering for any practicum course. The Verification of Employment Form found on the College of Nursing website must be completed and notarized."

Did anyone find this form?
