UNH Direct Entry Master's Program

U.S.A. New Hampshire

Published

Hi!!!

I am very interested in applying to UNH's Direct Entry Master's of Nursing Program. I have seen a few older threads discussing this program, and was wondering if any current students or graduates from this program could offer any further insight? The program is for students with a degree in another area, and I was wondering how much you were able to utilize your first degree in this program and in the nursing field in general? I have my B.S. in Psychology and would love to use my love and knowledge for psychology in my nursing career.

Also, how competitive is the program? I had a 3.8 GPA during my Bachelor's but am lacking in professional experience. My husband is in the military and will be getting out soon, so I plan on trying to get a position or volunteer in a health care setting before I apply to gain more experience and knowledge as well as increase my chances of getting accepted. Any advice that anyone could give me would be so very appreciated!

Thank you! :)

Wow, where in California? I was just out there visiting family (Sacramento area).

Where are other people from? I am living in Nashua, NH.

Does anyone know which form we need filled out re: health/physical? I'm getting confused by the different ones and I set up a dr's appt so wanna get the right one done...

I'm excited! See you all soon.

Madison13 - What a coincidence! I'm actually from the Sacramento area. Do you know where you'll be living?

As for the health forms, I'm not too sure myself but I'm sure you can email Karen Gutermann and she can straighten it out for you. If not, I'm sure they'll clarify everything at orientation.

Hey Guys!

I am from northeast Massachusetts. I am planning on moving to the Portsmouth area in January because I believe the commute will just be too much time and stress in addition to the workload. I have been looking online for apts and room shares but I am nervous to move in with strangers. I was actually hoping to meet someone at orientation that may be in a similar situation that is looking for an apt or a shared living situation. Anybody else in a similar predicament?

I didn't look for anyone needing housing today, but I have a friend who works at Portsmouth Hopsital and lives in Dover and she is looking for a roommate for January. My e-mail is [email protected] if anyone is interested! (I will e-mail more info too!)

Hi! I applied for early admission (I think the deadline for that was in May) and had my interview at the end of July and found out their decision about a week later... I got in! If you applied after May, I think that they said they would make decisions in October? I hope this helps and good luck!!! I know how stressful it is just waiting!

Congrats asilv :) I've also been accepted and will be going. Everyone reading this who is part of our cohort has probably already noticed the mass email from the program yesterday so now at least we have each other's email addresses, though I'm sure we'll also get to meet at next week's orientation.
