Texas Tech FNP 2012

[niculonghornrn]

Hi everybody! I've applied for Texas Tech's Spring 2012 FNP Program and I was wondering if anybody else has applied too. I got an email when I initially requested information that acceptance/denial letters will be issued in October, and then I saw somehwhere on the TTSON website that they will be issued 4-6 weeks after the deadline, which was Sept 1. I didn't get in contact with anybody in detail from the school regarding my application process because it was pretty self-explanatory and I didn't need much assistance with it, but I haven't heard anything from them and it's making me a little nervous! Has anybody else heard anything? Or does anybody have any information regarding their application process from here? Thanks in advance for any responses! :)

My GPA is around 3.9. Been an ICU nurse for 3 years and a Peri-op nurse for 1.5 years.

Ashonman, I don't know much about the other Universities you applied to, but I live in Texas and can say that Texas Tech has a good reputation here and puts out quality nurses at the undergrad and graduate level...

Mitzisdad, I would definitely go to Texas Tech over Kaplan. I bet cost at Tech is less, and its a competitive program, which I feel says a lot when the other program accepts students based on an unofficial transcript alone, if that is all they required of you. Also, I generally feel better knowing the program you're in, even if it is web based, exists at a University that also holds in person class. It makes it seem more "real", I don't know if that makes sense...

Littlebelle1293, thank you very much, I have been battling with which school to go to, my other school is a private catholic school (not kaplan lol:) and equally good. But I am actually leaning towards Texas Tech. Are you currently at Texas Tech or starting this spring?

I know that there were greater than 460 applicants to Texas Tech for Spring 2012 and I think I was told they accept about 25 students per term (that is the mean number of students for most terms at all the colleges I have contacted).

Wow! Did the SON give you this information? Is it for all graduate programs combined or just FNP? I was accepted for spring 2012, and now I'm thinking how lucky I was!
