1. 2012-2013 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Application

   vtfnp replied to MarkTX's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If it helps: I got an e-mail on Friday 8/3 that informed me of receiving the scholarship, and it asked that I accept or decline by 8/10. I spoke with a lovely woman in HRSA customer service and she said they can't say you have the award 100% until th...

   vtfnp replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in Vermont

   Yes, you get very close to all those in your class. There are larger classes that you matriculate into during the first year (patho, drug therapy), but for the most part it's just you as a class (during NP year, matriculate in with other masters stud...

3. UVM MEPN 2012

   vtfnp replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in Vermont

   Hey Crs249, I didn't need to take any summer classes, but I still made sure to review my anatomy and physiology. Other than that, you could always start some pathophysiology reading, as there is so much information and that class is packed with no en...

   vtfnp replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts

   Hmm it sounds like they are changing this year to year. Which is odd, as this is from their website: "Applicants to the MEPN Program will be guaranteed an admission interview if they complete UVM's Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program with a 3.2 G...

   vtfnp replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts

   crs249 - My honest opinion is that you sound like a very competitive candidate. Yes, there are many qualified applicants out there and there is no telling what will happen, but everything you wrote above sounds very solid. You have more medical exp...

    crs249 - I have deferred until next year, but I know a bit about those who would have been my classmates this year. Also, if you go to FaceBook and type in "UVM MEPN 2010" you will see all of the students who are in this years class. My husband works...

    PsychLisa11 It sounds like you have a strong sense of what you need already. And yes, age makes a difference to some extent, with regard to years of experience etc., but they won't deny you because you are younger. A good program will see your potent...

13. UVM MEPN 2010 acceptance?

    vtfnp replied to VTskiier's topic in Vermont

    I have also gotten very positive feedback from people in previous UVM MEPN classes as well. I would venture to say that the administrative end of the MEPN does not necessarily reflect the educational/didactic part. They serve and are two disparate en...

14. UVM MEPN 2010 acceptance?

    vtfnp replied to VTskiier's topic in Vermont

    wannabefnp I will most likely be deferring until next year due to some financial issues. I will be certain in about 2-4 weeks. If so, that will be one more spot open for this year.
