I feel the interview went well and she actually told me so. She siad the review process goes by a "point system" which awards points for: GPA, neatness of file, experience, veteran status, ER/ICU experience, and the phone interview. She told me I'd get high points for the interview.I am sad though. She told me the Feb Bridge class was full. I asked if there were a waiting list and she said there was one. I am on the waiting list. You never know... there may be so many defer that I'll get in. But I don't think I will. I have to wait until Dec. 1 to find out for sure. She said that if I don't get in to the Feb. Bridge that the next one is June and classes start in July. I got the feeling that I'm pretty much "in" but just not for Feb.I am trying not to be disappointed. I just have to wait a little longer. For whatever reason, I'm just going to have to wait. Everything, EVERYTHING, happens for a reason. Still though, disappointed.

fertile_myrtle 23 Posts Specializes in Med-Surg, OB. Has 3 years experience. Nov 11, 2008 no no no... I think you just get "extra" points if you have experience in those units. I wish I would have asked more questions, but you know... my preschooler was begging for milk, The Backyardigan's was playing in the background, my heart was a little racey... LOL... My interviewer was very nice and very down to Earth.xoxo
TLAandy 132 Posts Nov 11, 2008 Thanks again FM, I can only imagine how flustered you could get over "one phone call", but its not, it is sooo much more than that. Thanks for the information, it was greatly appreciated.
