Hi guys. Wanted to start a topic/thread for those applying into the May 2016 cohort, now that the application has opened. Has anyone else noticed on the application that the 2 recommendations are no longer required? Thought this was interesting.
As for me, I'm getting ready to take the TEAS V (Aug 1st) and finishing my CNA course next week with the state exam in August. I have a few months of CNA experience in a long term adult care facility and just got a job as a CNA at a local pediatric long term care facility, which I'm looking forward to since this is the area of nursing I hope to focus on after graduating (peds.) I graduated from the Univ of Pittsburgh back in 2001 with a dual BS in Psych and Business and did most of my post bach work in clinical psych (inpatient, outpatient, step down, peds again..) Applied and was accepted to PA school back in 2002 but decided that being a PA wasn't exactly what I wanted to do so waited, got married, had kids yada yada. Here I am, mid 30s, 2 young boys, applying into UWOSH. How about you? Say hi and introduce yourself so we can get to know one another during this ride. :) :)
Be yourself. If you are being interviewed it means you are paper qualified so don't worry about that anymore. Think of it as a conversation, not an interview.
Hello all! I just found this thread so I'm a little late in joining the conversation. But I'm on the same boat as you all, still waiting patiently to hear back on the admissions decision. I think I've been checking my email a little obsessively, although it's probably way too early anyways...

Where are you from Baiseyb? What brings you to nursing school?
I currently live in Madison, WI and have a biology degree from UW-La Crosse. Was going to go for PA but decided nursing was more what I wanted to do after my CNA experience :)

Sounds like a good plan :) Any idea which direction you want to go with nursing?
Interviews are still happening! I have mine tomorrow (Nov. 10). Maybe that will help the anxiety level for some of you--knowing they are still happening. As for my anxiety, not so much. This process is so nerve-wrecking.
Not exactly sure yet. Maybe APNP down the road. I work in the OR currently and wouldn't mind being an OR nurse :) my interview went well I think! How about you? What's your story?
