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 JeninCA! That is very helpful.

Which program are you applying to?

I applied for the FNP program. I have not recieved an invitation yet, so I am losing a bit of hope. Who knows, may come anyday. Good luck to you.

JeninCA- you were interviewed last year so I am sure you will get a chance to do so again this year. Stay positive. :) Funny how our minds can play tricks on us and that can lead to questioning yourself, etc. Don't lose hope! Good Luck!!!!

I second KC's sentiment-don't give up hope... "hope doesn't disappoint..."

Hey JeninCA! Don't lose hope. They interview re-applicants in their own group so I'm sure you'll get one! I have interviewed once in Sac and once in Oakland.... The re-app interview group was only 4 of us. I haven't gotten an invite yet either, so you're in company! I'm guessing the re-applicants are last

Thanks for all the kind and uplifting words.

Sisyer2 - I did not know they had a different group for re-apps, that is good information to know. Thanks!

Hey, JeningCA. Don't worry about it. My friend told me the same thing yesterday. She applied second time and got accepted last spring. Re-applicants will have different interviews and style than first time interviewees and it is usually the last group of people to be interviewed. Just keep your hope alive.

Hi All, I am interested in applying for the ELMSN FNP Oakland this cycle. I have a question regarding the goal statement format. Are the statements double or single spaced? The application only indicates a maximum of 2 pages but does not say anything about spacing. I contacted the admissions counselor by email and phone but no response. Thank you so much for your help! Good luck everyone!

Personally, I did double spaced because I feel it is easier to read. I think either way is acceptable. Good luck!!

I did single spaced.

I used 1.25 spacing with a 12 serif font. :) To each his own.

Hi yay123

I double spaced my goal statement, using 1 inch margins and 12 point font - just like I would do for a college essay. Since they don't give specific guidelines, I am sure whatever you choose will be fine! Good luck!

Good luck to people who are interviewing tomorrow. :D
