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!

I spoke with Liza from Sacramento and she stated that they open the applications and then input them into a computer system. They only send a confirmation email after everything has been inputted. She stated that this can take several weeks, but to be patient. Good to know. :)

Thanks KC that's good information to have.

KC,

Thanks for posting with information. I, too, have not heard anything back concerning my packet. I sent it on June 30, hopefully we both receive notice this week.

Hello Lenaelle,

I applied to the ELM/FNP program, my undergraduate degree is in Health Administration with an Emphasis on Management. I would really like to work in primary care. Just today, I heard a report on NPR discussing the shortage of primary care physicians in the Sacramento area. How did your TEAS go? Good luck with your application!!

Hi everyone,

I'm from out east but I'm interested in this program. I try to take school websites and rankings with a grain of salt and I just wanted to you know what people had heard about this school/program . Thank you!

Ahhh... feeling more worried now...

I still haven't received anything from SMU.

If I haven't gotten a confirmation, does that mean that I didn't meet their requirements?

Hi Lenaelle,

I received confirmation about the ABSN program but not the ELMSN and I sent my applications on the same day. So, I think they just have a lot of applications to sort through. Everyone will get a confirmation that their application was received, it has nothing to do with meeting their qualifications (that is a separate email).

I would wait until next week and call to check the status.

Has anyone received a confirmation email from SMU for EL-MSN program? Or it is just me. I have been waiting patiently for three to four weeks now. I think I may try to reach them this week for some updates.

I have not heard anything either.

Yes. I applied for the ELMSN/FNP track and I got a confirmation email.

Patience is a virtue I do not possess however I am holding onto what Liza told me it could take 4 weeks or more to get all of the confirmations sent out.

Hi all! This is my second time applying to the Sac campus, and it does take them some time to get all the emails out. I received confirmation on July 6th that my application was received, but remember, they have hundreds of applications so it's a long process! I am sure you will get your emails soon, as interviews will start in August. Good luck!
