Any current or graduated students of Seattle University's APNI direct entry program

Hi JackieJones,

I actually was accepted to SU last year, but decided to go to University of Washington instead since it has a better reputation (they have been ranked #1 for the last 10 yrs or so). However, I learned this year is that reputation is not everything.

One of my friends is in the program now, and she loves it. She said the professors are teaching focus as compared to many Ivies and major research schools like UW. Is cost a factor? SU is expensive, but I cannot imagine it to be more expensive than an Ivy. Do you live in the Seattle area?

Good luck!

I am a Seattle University student currently enrolled in the APNI program. When I was thinking about applying/enrolling one to two years ago I could not find any information from people who were actually in the program.

My cohort put together a discussion group where we intend to answer questions from the incoming students behind us. However, it would also be a good starting place for prospective students who are interested in the student perspective.

Hi there. I know you posted this quite some time ago, but I'm wondering if you decided to attend SU and if so, how you're liking it? I'm also wondering how the scholarship came about. Did you apply for it or were you offered it when they offered you admission? I'm applying to several schools and am not looking forward to all the loans. Thanks!

I'm interested in knowing the same!

what is the APNI program. may be a stupid question but i have never heard of it. what does it mean?

It's Seattle University's Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion Program. Basically a direct entry master's program that ends with some sort of NP certification. Check out http://www.seattleu.edu/nursing/msn/....aspx?id=15288 for more info.
