    Good morning everyone! I interviewed and was put on the waitlist and was wondering if anyone has any ideas/experience on how to get a spot? The school doesn’t have a numbered list, they just meet up often to decide who gets an acceptance when a seat is available. Thank you all!

    @sonyekab5a1940c3 Hey Stephanie! Be VERY proud of your waitlist! As the start date gets closer, people will make their final decisions and you may get a call at anytime. Remain engaged with the program (ie. attend their open houses, state meetings etc) and continue to keep in touch with any contacts you might have. Otherwise, there is nothing you can really “do” to increase your chances, it’s a waiting game, but remain optimistic and keep on keepin’ on!

    A waitlist means you have what it takes, there truly just aren’t enough seats for qualified applicants. So celebrate your waitlist as counterintuitive as it sounds.

        Hey, Stephy (my fellow Naija sister ;D)!! Congrats on getting off the waitlist!! I, too, had similar questions while I was waiting to start my program. The number one recommendation I got from other SRNAs was to RELAX–get good rest and spend time with family & friends (bc time with them is going to be rare over the next 3 years). Secondly, do a LIGHT review of foundational chemistry, biochem, & pharmacology concepts. Don’t burn yourself out over reviewing, but lightly brushing up on a few of those concepts can help make didactic a tad easier. Other tips include saving money, creating a budget/financial plan, going on vacation, learning to use ANKI, etc. Hope this helps!! Congrats again, & see you at the top 🙂
