UH MEPN 2012

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Is anyone looking at University of Hawaii's MEPN program for Fall 2012? I'm originally from Honolulu and would LOVE to go back and do this program. Especially since I would pay in-state tuition! :)

I've looked over the lengthy forum about the program from 2009. Is there anyone who went to UH's program that started this Fall? I would be quite interested to hear your stats (GPA, etc.) and to find out how many people applied and how many were accepted/matriculated this year. I will also be taking A&P 2 and Microbiology in the Spring and I am curious if that will hurt me since I am not done with all the prereqs. They say you just have to finish them by July, but I am wondering if that is really true.

Any info previous MEPN people can give me would be great. Thanks!

Mine said the same thing. I felt like it was kinda rude the whole "without a positive admission recommendation".

UH was actually my backup. I also applied to some PA schools and only got into ones that I dont want to go to. So

I think I will take a year and reapply with a stronger application and see what happens. I applied to the FNP track.

How about you?

Ya I am super duper bummed too. Just would be been so easy to get in and start. Now another year of waiting

and applying. Yuck.

Oh well onward I suppose :)

Everything works out for a reason right??

It's a no for me, for now. :thankya:

Good things come out of all things, even if we don't know what those good things are yet.

Best to everyone. :heartbeat

Looks like I'm on the list of alternates for FNP. Unfortunately, there wasn't any more information besides "we will be able to let you know no later than June 30, 2012" if a spot opens up, so I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for the best...

This may just be wishful thinking, but is there anyone on this board that was accepted to the FNP track that plans on declining?

Congrats to those who were accepted!

It must have been a very competitive group this year. I was surprised that I wasn't accepted, since UH is ranked #99 for nursing, and I was accepted to three other schools that were ranked much higher than that (among them, Boston College, which is #31). I guess it shows that each school really looks at different aspects of the application when deciding who to accept and deny.

I am curious, did anyone who got accepted from the Main land?

Hi there! Sorry so late. I was accepted but declined my offer this morning through email. I am from the mainland, California, where I will be attending a MSN program. Good luck to everyone! :)

Are any of you all worried about the debt from the program?

Even as a local I am worried about it.

For current students, do you all have a way of dealing with it besides loans?

Like do many of you all work while in school?

Mahalo!

@DC275

I saw your posts here and noticed you are a military spouse, as am I. We have orders to HI this summer and I want to apply to the MEPN for fall 2013. Would you mind "friending" me on this forum so we might be able to correspond? I'd love to hear your experience in applying to the program and perhaps get your feedback on the program once you start.

Thanks!

@Bluecloud- I tried responding to your PM but I am unable to since I don't have enough posts? Yes, I am attending and look forward to it. I have some things to get in order before school starts but I'm confident they will all fall into place. Are you attending?

@atkpop- I'm sorry I'm not familiar with this site and how to "friend" you. Can you tell me how? I'm unable to PM.
