It seems silly to get your FNP if you want to work with adults. Not only are FNP programs more competitive to get into but they focus on an age range that you aren't as interested in. The adult program focuses on ages 13+ which gives you quite a broa...

Candice, I live a bike ride away from SU. Oly to Seattle would be quite a commute! You could always try it and see if it will work for you but between gas costs and wasted time it may be better to rent a room.

Knightr4, UPenn's masters program requires a BSN but their direct entry program includes the BSN followed by the masters portions. It's like the SU program but instead of being an RN half way through you get your BSN.

Hi Cureac, Thanks for your thought! SU has an info session this Friday and I'm going to attend. Thanks for the information about the GRE and GPA. I've heard about the 2014 date of requiring your PhD... but I've also heard that it's just a goal. If t...

knightr4, Those are all really good questions and I am sure with your ongoing research you will find what fits. I am going for the FNP program because it will qualify me to do exactly what I want to do. I want to work in a free/sliding scale clinic...

Hi everyone, I am wrapping up my prereqs next quarter so it's time to really think about what the next step is. Actually, I've been thinking about it a lot but haven't come to any conclusions. My dream is to be an FNP in a free/sliding scale clinic ...

hi cureac, I'm thinking about UPenn, but I from Seattle and don't really want to move. Do the schools you listed have an immersion program as well? What do you think you could do differently this year to get in? Do you have volunteer experience and...

Hi cw55, I pretty sure you will get in with 103 points! Especially because you are applying winter quarter which is a tad less competitive than fall. When I went to the info session at Shoreline, they said the lowest score one quarter was 97!

To Diddledi, It may be harder for you coming from out of state. People who graduate from programs here have the upperhand because they have had two years to network as they do their clinicals and may get hired right after graduating or at the very le...

Honestly they are both good programs and you can't go wrong with either. I would go for the one that is more conveniently located for you. Another thing to think about is that Bellevue's program is 6 sequential quarters while Shoreline's program take...
