hey guys! i got accepted into the WHNP track in November :))))

I'm excited, but I'm still waiting to hear back from other schools too so I haven't paid my deposit yet or anything.

I still have the chemistry prerequisite to complete..... Is anyone else stuck completing prerequisites this coming semester? Looking for a little commiseration! haha

I’m also accepted into the WHNP track! I am completing my microbiology prerequisite this semester so you definitely aren’t alone in not having all of the prerequisites done.

Anyone else heard about the MN program that they have? You can skip the ABSN and go straight into the MN program.

No. You don't have to be for this program. It is for people that hold a non-nursing BA degree.

The MN program is a Master of Nursing that would allow you to sit for the NCLEX and become an RN.

Correct. Just to clarify for others that may be reading this now or in the future, although it is a masters level degree, it is NOT a program to become an Nurse Practitioner. Like mentioned above, you sit for the NCLEX and become an RN. It seems like it is an ABSN but in a masters format so instead of holding two bachelors degrees, you can hold a bachelors and a masters.

That is not what they told us at admitted students day. The first year of this program we train to be an RN, at the end of the first year we receive the BSN and take the NCLEX. The month after that, we start working towards the MSN portion of the program, in our specialized Nurse Practitioner program.

EDIT: just looked at the MSN program mentioned. I think it'd be useful to further clarify this:

MSN (without a BSN) ---> RN only

ABSN + MSN program ---> RN and NP

That is for the ABSN+MSN program (also called the AMSN program). This post was about the Master of Nursing (MN) program that they are starting in August. It is very similar in name to the Master of Science of Nursing (MSN) but it is not the same. The names can get confusing.

And for more clarification when MN/MSN is used it means a MASTERS IN NURSING. Which is for BSN nurses who have already been RNs. If you are looking for and accelerated BSN which is a BSN fast tract you use the letters ABSN; which is what they also have at Emory

at Emory they also have an AMSN which is an accelerated program ; you go for your BSN and MSN— do you come out a registered nurse AND nurse practitioner.

the regular MSN is for people who have ALREADY been nurses for however many years and they go back for their MASTERS to become an NP.

This is correct!

Emory has a MASTERS program starting in August for NON-NURSING bachelor degree holders. You DO NOT have to hold a BSN for this program (MN). I was just throwing this out there since its a new program. It is kind of confusing and new!
