  1. Direct Entry MSN programs for non-nurses

    The schools I applied to were competitive in the sense that acceptance rates were typically between 10-20%. Like StephenAndrews said, FNP is definitely the most popular and therefore most competitive. Without any insight into one's "stats"--GPA, GR...
  2. I got a B- in micro and I got into a school- a good one at that. You seem to have a good background. I think you'll be okay. Deep breaths! :)
  3. A&P Hype

    Like others have said, the class simply requires a lot of material to be learned in a short amount of time. Anatomy and Physiology were taught separate at my school. Physiology required more studying for me just because there are more complex proce...
  4. I applied to 6 direct entry MSN programs (Boston College, Yale, Northeastern, Vanderbilt, UIC, and DePaul) and none of them required that all of the pre-reqs be completed by the application deadline. I was going to apply to a 7th school, Rush, which ...
  5. I needed three recommendations for each of the schools I applied to this year (6). I felt bad to keep asking too, but each of my recommenders insisted it was no trouble-even when forms differ for each school. Once they have written one letter it is ...
  6. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    Yes, all specialties are eliminated. What might happen is that you will get your MSN and sit for the NCLEX-RN. Hence, why I mentioned it will be a generalist-MSN program. Then you can work or apply to the DNP program and choose an NP specialty. N...
  7. Logical way for RN diploma to FNP

    Good luck in your educational advancement. I know that it will be expensive to say the very least, and the two schools I mentioned are definitely no bargain, I just mentioned them because I'm very familiar with both schools.
  8. Help: Adn->bsn / absn / adn->msn

    I would also say don't go the ADN route. You can't bank on being able to get experience if you do ADN before you enroll in a BSN or MSN program, so why not at least go the ABSN route or Direct Entry MSN route? Then, you only have to worry about app...
  9. Experience for the pre-NP student

    And by CRNA, I'm assuming you mean CNA as in certified nursing assistant? It might be helpful. One school I interviewed at mentioned that it might be good thing to do over summer before the program starts if you have free time. But, most of the peopl...
  10. Experience for the pre-NP student

    I got into a DE program with less experience than what you had. I had some, but I think what really made me stand out were my grades and letters of rec. BostonFNP is right, those are great activities, but don't do them at the expense of your grades. ...
  11. MS Nursing (Entry level) chances?

    Marquette has a program as well. I know it's not in Chicago, but Milwaukee is still pretty close. I think Millikin has a program as well.
  12. Whats a good elective?

    Human Development and Abnormal Psychology were two of my favorite psychology classes. Spanish is definitely a good idea though.
  13. Law school dropout pursuing nursing career

    I am entering Vanderbilt's pre-specialty program for non-nurses this fall after a spot on the waiting list opened up for me. When I applied I had only a few of the pre-requisites finished. However, I also had several biology and chemistry classes li...
  14. Endocrine: Feedback Systems

    I am just a student in anatomy right now so I am no expert either. But, I do agree with you. The only positive feedback systems I can think of are ovulation, childbirth, and blood clotting. I've never had a teacher explain it the way your teacher ...
