I also got a scholarship email! Does anyone happen to know when we would hear about federal loans? I submitted the FAFSA in December, and I’m hoping we will have a full idea of financing the program before we have to officially accept. Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

Today I found out I was accepted to BC Women's Health NP track.

I also found out last week I am accepted to Simmon's College.

There's a good chance I'll get into Northeastern.

How do I decide?? Anyone have input on this?

And good luck all

I was also waitlisted for PMHNP. I interviewed with Vanderbilt last week, and the faculty said PMHNP is by far their most competitive specialty, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's also the case at BC.

I've been accepted to direct entry programs at both Hopkins and Columbia, but both are just masters programs without a spot in the specialty guaranteed, so I'm hoping for an acceptance either here or at Vanderbilt!

Hey there! I was wondering if you could tell me what your weeks tend to be like. When and what times are classes/ clinicals, etc.? I'm guessing it may vary from semester to semester, but any general idea would be so helpful!

During the summer, we were split into two groups. I was in the morning group from 9am-12pm. The fall was Monday 9am-12pm for adv. pathophysiology. Adult health is the most intensive course that is 6 credits 3x/week for 2 hours each. We had Mon. 1pm-3pm, Wed. 10am-12pm, and Friday 1pm-3pm. Adult skills lab was Wednesdays from 1pm-4pm. Clinicals were Tuesday/Thursday for adult health and population health from 7am-3pm. Tuesday night after clinical we had 4:30pm-7:30pm population health theory. Friday we had pharmacology 9am-12pm.

This semester is a bit different, everyone has slightly different clinical schedules as we have evening shifts. I personally do not have those evening shifts, but they go from 3pm-11pm. All courses for this semester are once a week for 3 hours each. We have childbearing theory, child health theory, psych mental health theory, and advanced pharmacology.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for the offer! Could I ask whether you feel the program is well-run? Do they keep you pretty well informed about things? Or do you feel like you are shouting into the wind to get answers?

The program is generally well-run. There are a few things that could have been better such as not having a class after a long clinical day, but we all wrote about that on our evaluations so hopefully they change that going forward. Every time I have asked faculty or an administrator for something, I have had a pretty quick response time so no complaints there.

Was the email attached to the acceptance or separate? I was really hoping to get at least some aid but haven’t gotten any info about that.

It was a separate email!
