In July 2020

I heard nothing yet

I applied back in July and I just got an interview invite 12/18 but will be declining as I have accepted a spot at Jefferson! Email states they are still interviewing in January! Good luck every one!

Hi everyone!

@nicc2010 How were the interviews for Jefferson and UPenn? Were they more emotional intelligence based questions or more on the clinical side? Just wondering! Good luck, everyone!

Congratulations! May I ask how UPenn contacted you regarding the interview, email or phone call?

I applied a few days before the deadline and haven't heard anything yet. ?

I have been a MICU nurse since 2018. I have my CCRN, I’m a preceptor and I am part of two committees on my unit. My science GPA is 4.0 and by undergrad is a 3.5.

My app says the same thing! Don’t stress it too much, they’re doing interviews into January. Just keep checking your email and keep your fingers crossed! Good luck! ?

@CSICURN2020 I have a interview also. What type of questions are you studying ?

Very much a mix of both clinical and emotional intelligence. I’m not really sure what to expect so I’m just trying to cover my bases. How about you?
