2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

The MEPN deadline is less than 2 months away, so I thought I'd get a thread started for us 2012 hopefuls!

I'm a first time applicant to the WHNP/CNM specialty, and feel like I've been getting ready to submit this application for so long! I've been working abroad for a public health NGO for the past couple of years and am a trained birth doula. I've finished up all of my prereqs and GREs, selected people for recommendations (including a slightly awkward visit to my undergraduate advisor...), so now I'm just drafting my essays. Does anyone even know what the application is supposed to look like this year? I'm just going off samples I've seen from previous years.

Some days I feel sort of confident about my chances, and other days I feel as though this is a total shot in the dark and definitely not going to work out!

Any other hopefuls out there? And anyone know when the application is actually going to open?

Nothing on my end. Will post when I do.

It's challenging for those of us on the waitlist, in limbo. I wonder how soon they notify us if a spot opens up? And if people are waiting until exactly March 8th to accept or decline? I feel like if I haven't heard anything at this point, it's probably not happening? Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist yet? I know what keeps me going is that my end-goal is the same, regardless of when I start school.

DoulaMama - I just declined my spot for CNM/WHNP. It was a tough decision, so I waited until the last minute! I hope this opens up a spot for someone!!

I officially have accepted my spot at UCSF! To those of you on the waitlist, good luck! I know it can be a grueling process. If anyone hasn't joined the FB group, here's the link:

Am I the only one who is feeling a little impatient of not knowing when and how long orientation will be?
