June Bug, are you applying for Adult or Pediatric?

Pediatrics!! No grown-ups for this girl! I'm going a little nuts waiting to hear from them... and we moved so our mail is being forwarded.. not helping my type A personality wait for a letter in the mail!

Are they doing anything online yet?

I know that some of the core MSN classes (ie the ones all MSN students need) are available on-line but the key ones for each major are done on campus.

I'm applying for peds too, but hoping not to start until Fall 2010. Do you know if it's possible to do both primary and acute care? While I want to do acute, my fear is what if I end up moving later on in life and can't find an acute care job (the area I live in now hardly uses them, unlike MD and the coast). I realize I could teach, but I might prefer to have some NP options.

Hello! I am interested in applying for 2011. I am just finishing up my BSN.

I haven't called the school yet to get details, but I was wondering if you needed to have experience to apply to the MSN program (FNP).

What are your backgrounds? What GPA range do they accept?

Good Luck!

Hey Roses, I suggest you check out their website. It outlines what the requirements are (GPA 3.0 min required). I do not recall reading anywhere about years experienced required, but I will have two years by the time I start classes.

I actually got a call back and they said they wanted experience, but I could not find it on the website. the school i am at now for my BSN will let me go straight into the MSN program but I think I might be bored to death if i had to stay in this little town any longer than the 3 semesters for my 2nd bachelors. what to do, what to do....

Were/are you planning on working on an RN while working on your MSN?

My application is "ready for review." I wonder how long we have to wait until we hear something. BTW: I changed my declared major to FNP.
