Anybody apply at Scranton for 2020 acceptance?

I am a current UofS student. Please feel free to PM me with additional questions about the program. Sounds like the interview was pretty laid back this year.

@SKA0124, you got this! You made it this far for a reason. Be yourself, and you’ll shine. I had some missed opportunities I think with one of the questions but it’s over now. You got this!!!

@RN12014 I’m sure you did great. Hindsight is 2020. It’s so easy to reflect on a situation and want to alter our words/actions. I appreciate your encouragement!

@RN12014 I have an interview for next week! What type of personality-based questions did they ask you? If you don't mind me asking. Also, how long was your interview? Wishing you all the best of luck! Hopefully we will all be future classmates ?

@CVICUCCRN17 hi! I actually just had my interview as well. I can’t speak to @RN12014s interview, but mine were general personal questions. I’m not sure if they vary the questions from candidate to candidate. Just be yourself, they are all things you know the answers to. Best of luck to you!

@volatile_agentThank you for your help! Unfortunately I can not send personal messages! Do you mind sharing your email? 
 

Goodluck to everyone that interviewed today!! 

@SKA0124Also did they mention anything about when everyone will hear back? 

[RN12014]

@CVICUCCRN17, I agree with @SKA0124. Be honest, and be yourself. You’ll do great. All the very best.

@CarribbeanRN I was told that it is likely that I won’t hear a decision until late this year! I really didn’t ask for any further details. 

[CVICUCCRN17, BSN]

@RN12014 @SKA0124 Thank you for the insight! I had my interview today and they asked very general personality-based questions and I thought it went very well! They seemed like they're honestly just trying to get to know you as a person to see if you're a good fit for their program. The staff was very friendly and gave positive feedback. @CarribbeanRN They told me that there are a higher number of applicants this year and that they would not be notifying candidates until around mid December in regards to acceptance. 

[SICURNtoSRNA]

@CVICUCCRN17 Yay, I'm happy to hear it went well for you! I felt the same way about the interview - they definitely want to find candidates that are a good fit for their program.

I know this is an older post but can anyone who was accepted and went through the program speak to the practicum and residency schedule? How many hours per week and were they 12 hour shifts? Thank you.

Depends on the clinical site, there are over 20, and most people go to 7 sites or so.  During clinical it was 1 day of class and three 8hr days of clinical/wk.  During residency, the obligation was five 8hr shifts/wk (40hrs).  Many, but not all, clinical sites were flexible and would allow 10's or 12's to get your hours.  Some sites might have cases going all night or decent call expierences for example.  Off hours are sometimes the best add-ons and emergencies.  Other sites you'd be wasting your time so they aren't going to let you do that.  They let you rank your requests for clinical sites, but it's not possible to accommodate all 7 requests for everyone.
