Hi everyone, 

I got an email today informing me that I have been placed on the alternate list. I am already planning to attending elsewhere so I don't plan to accept an offer off the alternate list if I were to get one, but I wanted to come on here and share this info.

Hope this helps.

I was also placed on the alternate list

I have 2600 hours of “healthcare” experience but only about 1200 of that was direct patient care. So my current job is in a healthcare setting but I do not work with patients directly, it is an operational role. I hope that makes sense!

And thank you!! I’m very excited 😊

Hi,

I received a call this morning with an offer for a seat that came open. I declined due to already accepting an offer elsewhere. 
 

So, they are going to the waitlist for at least one seat - Good luck to anyone waiting for a call!

I received another call from them, so it appears there might not be any applicants left in their pool to fill the remaining slot. Unsure if there is anyone who was waitlisted and has not received a call yet, but if there is and you still need a program to attend, this may be good news to you. Goodluck to everyone.
