Columbus State University- Spring 2020

Published

Who else is applying to part time FNP program in spring 2020 at Columbus State. I know I’m way early as we have to November 30 but it is never too early in my book

I just finished my BSN and want to continue to my MSN. I need part time program so this why I’m applying in spring and hoping I get in.

I'm not exactly sure what my GPA was before WGU, I would guess a little over 3.5, maybe a 3.6. I'm curious how CSU did factor in my WGU GPA and if it lowered my overall GPA. There was another WGU grad in my cohort, but I'm not sure what her previous GPA was.

Does everyone account have a hold on it?

I got my BSN from WGU and graduated in May 2019 from CSU's FNP program. I've heard their program has been getting more competitive so maybe they no longer accept WGU grads--but just guessing on that. I did get a 4.0 and was well above the class average for the end of the program HESI test requirement, so I did represent us WGU grads well--hope that helps you get accepted :).

I am interested in the courses and books that go along. Can you share the material list/text books so I can purchase and start early?

I think that indicates that you are waiting for a phone conference with an advisor.

Sorry, I didn't save that information and they might have changed books since I took the classes anyway. I did the 3 yr part time program. If you want to start on something, I would memorize 2 charts for pharmacology- one is the treatments steps for both children and adults, the other is the definition chart. For example, what defines mild intermittent, or mild persistent. They are rated by how many nighttime awakenings etc. I know that doesn't sound clear, but if you look up tables, you'll see what I mean. I remember the Respiratory section we had little time to learn because there was a time consuming paper on looking up resources in your community for an asthma child from a family with no financial resources.

For pathophysiology, more important than what text is understanding different diseases of each body system. Know 2 types of CHF and symptoms, GERD symptoms and treatment, HIV, STIs etc. I'm not convinced they tested from the text books only anyway. I found it was easier to learn on my own watching you tubes and such. I did read the chapters, but found I learned better other ways.
