I called and they let me know there was a glitch in the acceptance letters apparently. They looked up my application in the system and verified I was accepted to the MN + MSN program, not just the pre-licensure, so I would call if you want some more clarity.

Oh really. Was the letter supposed to say MN+MSN instead of Pre-Licensure then?

I think so, but not sure

Oh wow, that’s so interesting, this doesn’t happen often I’m sure. Are you applying to different program at Emory now, or sticking with midwifery at other schools?

I’ll be sticking with midwifery. Luckily I finished my Yale application a couple of weeks ago. I’m also applying to Columbia and University of Pennsylvania.

Is anyone else still waiting on a decision? I applied for the AGACNP program.

Do you mean primary care? You can’t apply for acute care as MN/MSN program

Does anyone know anything about this program? Have you heard anything good about it?

Emory is ranked #2 in the nation for masters of nursing so yes Emory is a very good established school (nursing,medical, PA, undergrad, etc). The program is also well structured per my friends currently attending. Great clinicals and didactic experience.

Hopefully my post on the other discussion post (MN 2022) regarding NP vs PA helped. I also wanted to add that Emory finds clinical placements and preceptors for you, so you do not have to worry about that at all. They do a very good job with placements. It looks like most of these top selective schools provide clinical placements/preceptors, so I recommend applying to these schools not only for their reputation, but also for the education and skills taught that many programs do not provide. Yes I am being very transparent here I know, but we need this transparency. Emory is also opening their new nursing facility next year which will be such a great experience for us for simulations and practicums. Granted however, these top programs (Johns Hopkins, Emory, Vanderbilt, etc) will be a bit more expensive! Hope this helps ?

Yes thank you, you've been very helpful. I was cautious of direct entry NP programs because I've heard that they are degree mills and you enter the work force without knowing what you're doing. I was accepted without even submitting LORs or the GRE so I was a little suspicious of the credibility of the program

Definitely understand your concern. I would be cautious of online only programs that do not provide any clinical placements since those are usually degree mills. Emory actually required the GRE until recently and most graduate programs are removing GRE requirements. Many PA schools are also removing GRE requirements and there are now direct-entry and online PA programs for high-school students. In terms of previous nursing experience, NP and RN are very different and being a RN prior doesn’t necessarily help you be a better NP since RNs do not assess and treat a patient. So, the thinking process is very different. Notice that direct entry NP programs are ONLY for Primary Care and NOT Acute Care since AC requires prior RN experience. So primary care NP really doesn’t require RN experience since they are so different. I am a medical assistant in primary care setting and do the exact things as LPNs and RNs. We do not think like a NP in this primary setting, so I agree that prior RN experience is not too helpful. Additionally, if you do want RN experience, you can take time off after you get your RN degree in this program and work before continuing on to becoming a NP! Hope this helps again ?

Would those of you who got accepted be willing to share your stats? I just hit send on my application, so I'm going to be playing the longer waiting game. As a very non-traditional student I'm nervous about my application falling flat.
