Hi everyone! I haven't seen a thread for USA's dual role FNP/AGACNP and thought it was about time we started one for all of us who have applied to the program for Fall 2016 entry. ;)

Applications were due on 3/15/16, so we should begin to hear back in roughly 8-10 weeks! Let's share our concerns and experiences here and maybe get a support group going once we get acceptance! Good luck to you all!

I missed the 3/15 deadline because my transcripts didn't make it to NursingCAS in time :( I applied for the spring 2017 but I'm seriously considering the Spring Arbor FNP program because I can start this July. I could always get the acute care cert later if I end up needing/wanting it. My backgroup is ICU, ER and flight nursing for the last 15 years. I really like critical care and ER so hopefully I can find something along those lines with the FNP. Best of luck on your admission!

From what I've read, it'll be 8-10 weeks from the admission deadline date (3/15) before they let you know. Good luck and let us know how it works out. I applied for the spring 2017 so I'd love to hear how that first semester goes if you get in. What's your background and plans?

In one of the other threads I was reading the FALL 2016 DNP acceptance letters are going out today! So I wonder if that is the case for all FALL 2016 programs?

That would be so nice. But for some reason I can't imagine us being that lucky!

I know in years past the DNP letters go out before the MS letters.

@flymedicRN24,

How did your friend like the program? I'm assuming he or she didn't have too many negative comments if you decided to apply? Give us the details! :)

Still no word on acceptance as of yet but it's still too soon.

There were normal typical issues I think from any school. Given the opportunity to go there again, she would. She feels confident, but there was a significant amount of self learning.
