Samuel Merritt ELMSN/FNP Fall 2013 Sacramento

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi Everyone, I haven't seen this thread yet and as the application date (July 1) looms closer I thought I would start one. I am interested to know who is applying, what your undergraduate degree of study was and why you are now going into nursing? I'm taking the TEAS tomorrow!!!

So I will answer my own questions; My name is Darcy, my Bachelor's degree is in gerontology. My plan is to work with the elderly, hopefully in hospice. FNP is the next logical step for me.

thanks!

@elegant.lil.lady Hey Nicole, it's Sandy! Congratulations!! We interviewed together at the Oakland Campus and in Sac, I too got my acceptance call this morning from Rhonda! I'm so excited and I can't wait for us to start the FNP program!

Hi Sandy!

Interviewed this past Saturday from 1-3 and I just checked my email... and I got into the Spring 2013 FNP program. Congrats to everyone who was accepted, interviewed or even applied. Do not give up as I have been rejected time and time again from other programs but finally I can celebrate!

It has been a great honor to know all of you through this forum. I just wanted you to know that I personally rejected by 7 schools prior getting into SMU. Please do not give up your nursing dream. I wish you all the best in future nursing applications. I had been taking pre-req at local colleges for the past two and half years. I know how difficult it is to change your career and fulfill the nursing dream. If I could make it, I truly believe all of you can too! :)

@elegant.lil.lady Yes, I can try to create one, but if anyone already did. Please share! I am exciting to start school soon!

Need some "manpower" to create a group on FB. Please PM me your personal information, so I can create a group for Spring 2013 ELMSN entry not just FNP, CM group is welcomed as well. We are the same cohort, so I feel that we should just create one for all of us. We can exchange information within the FB group. Thank you!

Congrats to everyone that got in so far! It's such a huge accomplishment :)) I wish the best for everyone and not to give up all hope! If you are determined, which I am sure everyone here is, everyone will reach their dream! :) It seem like the majority of people that got in were re-applicants, so they might still be giving spots out for the rest as well! Either way things will all work out :) I hope more will get calls tomorrow! :) And hey there's always the waitlist!!

ALXiong, congrats on your acceptance!! Your words were so encouraging and sweet! It really helped me calm my nerves! Do you think they will be making calls tomorrow or do you think they already called the 24 spots?

@ALXiong, thanks for the kind words and you do speak the truth. The emotional side of me is :cry: but the logical side of me knows there were so many awesome applicants and so little spots. Although they may not be done with acceptance calls, the amount of re-applicants (4 that I know of) that were accepted yesterday I feel my chances of being accepted are low. We will see.

Super huge CONGRATS to all those accepted. Such a wonderful accomplishment and I am super excited for all you to start on your nursing career journey.

@JeninCA, I know how you felt and I was stalking the last year posts as well. Is SMU only school you want to attend? If not, have you considered other schools such as Western University of Health Science at Pomona near LA? I applied there last year and waitlisted. I eventually got in but it was too rush that I could not accept their offer. They have different program from SMU but they have FNP specialty for their master entry as well. If you need more information for that, I am happy to provide you some. Please stay calm and see how things go! You never know what will happen.

Still getting used to this site but if an FB group is created I'm on board. My name is Stephen Leon...

Yes, SMU is the only one. I have two young children and my husband (who would be the only one working) has his job here, so my options are limited. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's not over until it's over JeninCA. Stay positive, you never know what will happen :)

this applies to all the other applicants who have not yet heard back :)

Ok, getting back on the postive vibe. It is nice to have such support from other applicants. Thanks everyone!
