I still have a few things to complete. Taking Chem and A&P 1 and 2 over again at HCC.. took them 10 yrs ago so having to take again ?Not that A&P has changed much haha.

Hi all! In the process of applying and want to submit asap. I am only waiting on my references and wondered if it says on the application if they have been completed by the person. My three references status just says "requested" but it is saying I'm able to submit my application now

For those that are getting interviews invites, are the interviews in person, virtual, or a choice of either?

It looks good. Just establish who will be doing your LORs and do CCRN. It took me some time to reconnect with my old nursing instructor. You'll most likely get an interview invite. I probably wouldn't mention the clinical instructor position at all though. I have a similar amount of ICU experience. So we're on the lower end. I'm doing the NursingCas app now and you do have to attest to staying in the ICU full time until start of program. You mentioning that you just accepted a clinical instructor role (I'm assuming it is PRN or one day a week time commitment) could make it seem like you're trying to get out of the ICU even though that may not be the case.

Thanks for the info. I was going to apply next month but I've decided to apply this month since everyone is getting interview invites. I'll probably be able to get all my transcripts and LOR in by end of next week

I think I have some pretty good LORs. I had some SRNAs say the clinical instructor is a good bonus because it shows I am involved in the nursing world and am trusted to teach nursing students. Hopefully if I attest to staying in the ICU full time and explain in my interview it's only 8 hours a week, they won't think of it as me trying to leave. I explained in my personal statement too that I love to teach.
