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!

Thanks for the replies :)

I applied to the ELMSN-CM program, as well as the ABSN. Crossing fingers!

Question: has anybody researched financial aid, loans and/or loan forgiveness programs?

There are a lot of options for loan forgiveness and pay-off when you are hired after school. I work for the VA and as a federal employee you can have your loans forgiven after 10 years of federal employment. They also have incentives for hiring, etc.

I received an email that my application for the ABSN is complete and was forwarded for faculty review. However, I still have not received confirmation my ELMSN application was received. Anyone else still waiting for the ELMSN confirmation email?

JeninCA,

I received confirmation emails for both ABSN and ELMSN program mid July. Did you send/submit the applications on the same day? They are probably still processing packets.

I am in the opposite position. I still haven't received my ABSN confirmation yet. They are probably still going through all the packets though.

Yes, I submitted them on the same day. I noticed last night they cashed the check for the application fee for both programs, so they received the application. So, at least I know they have it. I would be horrified if it was lost in the mail or something.

I still have not heard ANYTHING from SMU. Should I be worried? I sent out both applications on June 27th.

Is anyone else in the same boat?

Me too! I never saw my check being cashed out. Did you apply for ABSN or ELMSN?
