[aleksduran22]

I applied to WVU for the Fall 2024 start, was wondering who else did and when we will hear something back.

I graduated in 2022, work in a MICU/SICU currently. Been there for 1.5 years. I applied a few places, unfortunately did not get an interview at one, but hoping for the best with the others:) 

my significant other is a CRNA, "the hardest part is getting in" is what I'm always told! 

how long was your orientation? do you have your CCRN? any committees/preceptor? 

those are the only things I could think that may be holding you back... our ICU experience is pretty similar (I had 2 months orientation because I have nursing experience so I didn't have to do a whole graduate RN thing).

I have my CCRN,  I am on a committee and just started precepting a student.  I had like 2 months of orientation!

you should get an interview then, just comes down to timing! (I've had 2 interviews total)

that's crazy only 2 months orientation as a new grad, my facility does a graduate nurse program that's like 6 months long before they're off orientation. are you at a level 1 teaching facility?

No I'm not. At a 400 bed " community" hospital it's not really community though. We get almost everything except trauma and ECMO

that makes more sense. depending on how this round of applications go, look into possibly going to a level 1. schools just like how it looks I swear. I worked in community hospitals and it's so much harder. 

I work surgical/trauma at the only level 1 in a 3 hour radius! we aren't device trained for ECMO or CRRT/SLED but we do get these patients (we have perfusionists)…. otherwise, we don't get many devices at all!

Yeah I thought about going to Charlotte Level 1 here if it doesn't go well this round!

Anyone get anything back yet? I'm getting super anxious!!

I haven't heard anything yet either. I was waitlisted last year. My friend is currently in the program and the zoom interviews will be 1/11, 1/17, and 1/18. They just set those dates within the last week, so I think we should be hearing something soon.

I reached out the end of November and was told everyone will hear by the first of the year!

Hopefully it's soon! I just need to know so I can plan to have work off
