Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Anyone on here applying to direct entry MSN programs that begin in summer or fall of 2013? I think I have finalized my list of programs to apply to, and I am beginning to get everything together to start applying this summer/early fall (I know this is rather early, but I'm a bit anxious and I was wondering if there was anyone else on this board who is just as excited as me!). I am pretty certain that I will be applying to UPenn, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Northeastern, University of Massachusetts, Boston College, Columbia, Vanderbilt, and Marquette. I am also applying to a few accelerated BSN programs in my state (Florida) - UCF and UF, for sure. I have all of my prerequisite courses completed, and currently have a 3.76, but my BS is still in progress and I have to retake the GRE this summer. I look forward to hearing from other people!

Meep - I took my developmental psych class online from Barton Community College in Kansas even though I live in CA. It's only $133 a unit there and you have the opportunity to do it either in 9 weeks or 18 weeks. I did mine in 9 and it was an easy A. The semester starts tomorrow so you might be able to still register and get in if you make it quick!

Duke applicants-I received noticed via email by a reliable source (admissions officer) about interview notifications. Although the person on the phone said interview notifications should be sent out around January 22nd, he actually said it'll be around January 30th. More waiting for us!

No problem Meep, hopefully you can get the book on time! The instructor I had for the course was not a very good one (in my opinion) but the class is super easy.

I'm not applying to programs until this coming fall as I am in Anat and Physio now and still have Microbiology left to take but after all this talk about Emory on this board I did some research. Emory doesn't have an accelerated MSN program for applicants who hold bachelors in other areas do they? I think I just saw they had the accelerated BSN. Just doing all my research now :) Now if only I could force myself to start studying for the GRE....ugh.

Hannahzp, there are only two specialties for the direct entry program at OHSU PMHNP and Midwifery.

Have any of the midwifery applicants heard back from OHSU? I'm getting so anxious! :nailbiting:

fromCAtoNY, Emory's program is an accelerated BSN-MSN program, meaning it is for students who have a bachelor's in a degree other than nursing, and both the BSN and MSN portion are accelerated! I didn't apply because I think it required chem 1 and chem 2, and I didn't have chem 2, but it's an awesome program! It also requires the TEAS, and not the GRE. I hope this answers some of your questions :)

You have to click on the Undergraduate degrees to see the program since it is basically an accelerated BSN then you can continue on to your master's portion. The GRE AND the TEAS are required which I think people were turned off by. But I did not study at all for the TEAS and passed. So I wouldn't let the TEAS scare you away from applying.

So both specialties have interviews? I just don't see how they can review all applications that fast when they were due January 4th.

Yes both specialties have interviews. On the website you can find the days that your specialty is conducting interviews. There are normally like 3 or 4 dates.

Thanks Meep and Hopeful! Hopeful - I took general chem many many moons ago (back in 05) and hate the thought of having to retake it plus another on top as well. How long is the program at Emory then for the BSN-MSN?

Fromcatony - the program is about 3 years full time at Emory. Which specialty are you interested in?
