Seattle U - APNI 2012

Published

Anyone already applying at Seattle U? Which track? I haven't finished my pre-req's, so I am probably not too competitive this year, but I am going to apply anyway. I am applying for the nurse-midwife track and my background is Microbiology (UW).

Whew! Such a relief that they confirmed the arrival of your application. At least now you know everything is being processed. It took a long time for me to get my ID materials as well, since I am out of state (Nevada). All the best, NursePrac!

Hello everyone! Great to see that so many are posting here, even current students in the program--so helpful!

Is it too early to talk about lOaNzZ?? It's my understanding that if you have good credit, you qualify for the Grad PLUS loan which gives you a decent amount for living expenses. And by decent amount, I've heard $30-40k... is it too good to be true? I just ask on this specific thread because PLUS loan experiences seems to differ school to school. Wondering if any current students wanted to share if that amount is true, and if they plan on doing the 10-year payback plan.

Good luck in the process, everyone! I applied for the nurse-midwifery track :)

yes its true, Im getting about 20 in sub/un-subsidized and 40 in grad plus so 60k total this year. This is more than I needed but I got approved for it and wasn't sure how much I would need for living costs. Also, not sure if the SU website is still wrong but the costs have gone up for the program, its more like 75-80K now unless your'e in the psych track in which case it will be more. The good news is that Obama along with congress have passed a new law that starts in Jan of 2012 for student loan repayments. The new law will make your payments 10% of what your income is after living costa are deducted, which will pretty much cut my loan payments in half. Also, for public servants your loan is forgiven after 10 years and for everyone else they get loan forgiveness after 20 yrs. My understanding is that people in the medical field are public servants too, so after 10 years we should be done.

Hi all,

I totally forgot about this forum until now. Anyways I had read last year's thread about SU APNI application process and just got through reading everything on this one. I submitted my application through snail mail around mid-November. I still haven't gotten that letter with my SU ID # yet! I called and got it from the lady I was talking to though.

For those current students of the program, did you guys get your interview notification through snail mail or email? I'm so nervous just waiting. Oh and if you guys don't mind me asking, what kind of questions did they ask during the interview? I saw you guys were talking about the school asking about our support during the time we are in school...

I got my interview request through email, and it arrived on one of the last days of January -- I know that interview invites came no earlier than that last year.

I remember there being very standardized questions during the interview: much like a job interview, they didn't deviate from the standard questions. They wanted to know about your understanding of the program, motivations for going into nursing, experience with vulnerable populations, describing your flexibility, your values in things like social justice, what kind of preparations you've made (financial, personal support, when the times get rough in the program), and they had me recount a time I had a difficult time with a supervisor/co-worker and how I resolved it. Very, very standard questions.

I would spend the most time thinking about why nursing is the right career path for you, and advanced practice nursing in specific. I would also think a lot about why Seattle U is the best match for you for a nursing education: what is it specifically about Seattle U that draws you to it?

Hi everyone! I am applying to the FNP track and only have to finish up the MATH110 pre-req. Does anybody know what class at a community college will satisfy this? According to course transfer guides it looks as though I would need to take MATH 141, but I am wondering if anybody knows whether Math 107 would work (I know someone who took that class and it worked, but it was 5 years ago).

Any guidance is appreciated. I am in the South Sound so I cannot take classes in Seattle area, only Tacoma area or online.

Thanks!

I took most of my prereqs at a community college, and I am fairly certain they satisfy the requirement. Though I think if you have a question you should ask someone at the school.

You can also take the College Algebra CLEP test for the Math 110 requirement. That is what I did, I had taken Intermediate Algebra, reviewed with a few of the CLEP books, and passed it. Just a warning though, you have to wait 6 months to retake it.

Luluj,

If I am not mistaken, South Seattle CC offers all the classes we need online, including anatomy, for about $500 for 5 credits.

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading the posts from last year and getting nervous about my application. I'm glad I finished it and got it in though! Fingers crossed, hopefully we will meet each other in the APNI program this Summer. I applied to the FNP track. Please post when you start getting notifications about interviews!

I know it's super early (judging by last year's posts) but did anyone receive any news from SU yet?
