Alexandria 

Sounds like nobody from main (richmond) campus has heard yet? Only two I have seen so far in this group were Roanoke and Alexandria locations...? Congrats to those who have heard so far

Congratulations to everyone who heard back and fingers crossed for those who haven't YET, including myself 🙂! I applied to the Richmond campus. Can you all share your stats if you don't mind? I have only 1.5 years of experience at the time of application, 3.9 NursingCas calculated GPA, CCRN, unit council and research experience. I am aware of my lack of clinical experience but I thought I would start applying anyways.

That's what it seems like- to further confirm I heard back yesterday and it was for abingdon site! With Richmond being larger applicants makes sense that they do it a seperate day? 🤷🏼‍♀️ fingers crossed for you all!

When is the next interview if I may ask?

Hey! Never too early to start. I started when I had 2 years of med surgery/charge nurse experience (they could care less about med surg LOL) and 1.2 years of ICU. I got interviews at six out of six of my schools, but did not get into any sadly. Even though I didn't get in anywhere, it was still a great experience interviewing to get a feel for how the interviews went. I pray that you don't have my same experience of getting so many interviews without any luck; however, just gotta keep your head down and keep grinding for what you wanna do! 
 

but I applied to Richmond and haven't heard anything yet. I just checked the student portal and my email and haven't seen anything yet.

Anyone heard anything from Richmond campus yesterday or today? I applied to Richmond and haven't heard anything yet, was it only the remote campuses that received second invites yesterday?

I applied to Richmond and haven't heard anything yet. Hoping they are still working on sending out invites.

In the same boat.. hopefully we hear something soon.

I was hoping the Richmond campus applicants would hear today, but perhaps they are giving everyone from yesterday a chance to schedule their interviews first? As to prevent overloading the system?
