Anyone heard from UNH DEMN?


Was told at the interview that I "should know by Columbus Day". From Webcat, it looks like the list has made it to the grad office ("Waiting for Final Grad Review") but stalled there. Just wondering...

Thanks! I checked Saturday morning, and I'm in. Woo-hoo! That's my head spinning at how much has to get done between now and January...

BTW, do you know if you're in the 2- or 3-year track? I didn't see that listed anywhere on the webcat application status page.

I personally selected the two year track and it's not on webcat. Have you finished all your prerequisites yet? I'm still taking Microbiology and boy let me tell you it was hard concentrating on studying since I was figuring out how I'm going to pay for this program. I am an out of state student. Are you located in NH? Also did you get the official email yet? I haven't I just have the online acceptance. Will you attend the program?

I had told them I'd prefer the 2-year track but could do 3; it wasn't a deal-breaker, so I'm eager to see where I ended up. Yes, I plan to attend; this is the only school I applied to. How about you (besides Georgetown)? I haven't gotten an official email yet, either, just saw the accepted application on Webcat. I hope the email has lots of details; at this point I'm very excited but also very clueless.

I finished my prereqs in June 2008, culminating in a psychotic 5-week intensive microbiology course, so I feel your pain (I didn't know you could apply with outstanding prereqs). You said you are out of state; do you qualify for New England Regional tuition? I'm in-state, so I can't complain!

Good luck in your decision; if you really want to go the NP route, you may want to look into UMass Worcester or Northeastern. I think Vanderbilt has a direct-entry NP program as well, and it's an excellent nursing school. I just remember someone at the UNH info night saying that if you want to be an NP, the CNL program isn't the way to go, though I guess in a practical sense any nursing program could get you there eventually. I knew I wanted to be a CNL the minute I read the AACN's white paper on it, so my decision was very simple. Again, good luck.

Hi,

While I wanna be an NP eventually, at this point I would like to just start my nursing education. I have waited so long to get into nursing school, I've always said that if I got in that I would see how live was with the degree I obtained. I know that a CNL is completely different from an NP, and I'm okay with that. I actually like all the things a CNL degree has to offer which is why I applied to the program and was a direction I wanted to go into. As far as having all the prerequisites completed, I actually applied to UNH on a whim and I missed the part in the fine print where all my prerequisites had to be done before I applied. I actually realized that while preparing for the interview. If the time comes that I want to go back to school, I will probably see if my employer will pay for my NP or post master's degree. Until that time has come, which is probably years and years from now, I will take this acceptance and most likley attend UNH. I actually don't qualify for the New England regional since I am from Maryland, so I will be paying out of state tuition. I've applied to 6 schools total including a community college. One school in Virginia needed more information, but since it costs about the same as UNH I will probably let them know that I withdraw my application from them. As you may have read, I didn't get into Georgetown, and I didnt' get into another state school. I'm waiting on hearing from another CNL program and an associate's program. I'm anxious to hear from both schools, but I'm pretty set on going to UNH, I really need a change of scenery even though I will definitely be paying for it. I think the program is worth it! I never went away to college for my first degree so I think this is a wonderful opportunity to pursue my dream and expand my horizons.
