UCSF 2012 MSN/FNP applicants

[emsguy]

HI all!

So any working RN's gong from a BSN to a MSN with FNP? I applied for the 2012 fall UCSF MSN/FNP and was wondering how many others have done so?

I went to an information meeting earlier this year and there were a lot of people in the meeting, mainly young women going for their first RN and the MEPN program. I think there were only about 3 or 4 actively working RN's in the group. I asked the speaker what the split was between the MEPN and MSN/FNP students that already have their RN and was told that they had a difficult time recruiting working RN's in the program in years past but now its about 50/50.

I also applied at UCD FNP/PA program for 2012.

Under the transcripts section of the personal login page for ucsf, mine states its status was last updated and the date I entered the information for each school. Does anyone have anything different? More specifically, noting if a transcript was received from the school?

@ CardiacNurse, my transcript section says the same thing - the date that I entered the information for my school, and doesn't say whether it was ever received or not. Unlike the rec letters underneath that say received and have a date. I was really stressed about it after the application deadline, so I called and they said they did receive it (after some run around and "finding" it), but they never updated that online. Kind of nerve wrecking. I applied for public health as well, still under review. Good luck!

@mmoor000 thank you for your response. I didn't really think much about it until recently. I think as the days go by I start critiquing my application more. No use in stressing about it. Just have to wait it out. : ). Good luck to you and happy to see another potential public health applicant on here.

I finally broke down and called the SON. They are still going through applications and decisions should go out by the end of the month.

I have been waitlisted in the Psych NP program at UCSF and found out today that I am #6 on the waitlist. At first, this made me hopeful but then I realized I have no idea what entering class size is and how many acceptances they sent out. If I knew that, I might have a better sense if #6 is a hopeful place to be or not. I've been accepted to Yale, Vanderbilt, OHSU and am still waiting on Columbia & Univ. of Florida (where I can get in-state tuition). I got my financial "aid" package from Yale today and it freaks me out, all those loans! Can anyone tell me anything they have heard about the UCSF Psych NP program from people that went through it? I know no one...Good luck everyone!!

[CardiacNurseForLife]

Accepted. Good luck to everyone else!

still waiting for UCSF AGNP results. I, however, applied as a post-masters student and ours are a little bit delayed (I understand they accept masters students first). Any post master's applicants out there?

Apparently UCSF just announced that they are no longer having the NNP program. I am not clear on if this is just for next year or permanently. I have a friend who applied for 2012 and she just got an email this week saying they are not having it. Kinda crazy...

[Pachinko]

I applied in early September of last year. That means I've been waiting to hear back for almost eight months. Bananas! I've already accepted another offer, so it's just curiosity at this point. They must be overwhelmed.

Anybody heard any news yet?
