FNP info please!

Hi! I'm in the process of applying to the MSN program. You do not need to take the GRE unless your GPA is less than a 3.2 I believe. That is your combined GPA - the average of all of your previous college GPA's. You need three recommenders - you provide their e-mail address, they send them a form. You need to provide a resume and a statement of professional goals. The website is unclear and the enrollment advisor has not been very helpful in my opinion. She seems to contradict the information she provides, and I feel that many of my questions are not answered. I do know that the program is about 27 months and you start clinicals in your second year. Classes are all online and are 7 weeks long. The enrollment advisor coud not give me a good answer regarding what the classes consist of. I have really been working on my application and hoping to get in, but my recent conversation with the enrollment advisor is making second guess my choice. I hope this was helpful to you! Good luck in continuing your education!

I would look at other schools...very new program with lots of issues...

Why would they not just take your BSN gpa?? If your entry level was a BSN they would just look at that. I call no fair that they would lump in a gpa from an entry level program that would drop your overall GPA/

What did you end up doing? Did you go through with the application process?

Yes, I am in the program now.

Just curious - the OU MSN program was restricted when I checked on it a while back (to Ohio residents I think but in any case, it was not allowed to be offered to those of us who live in the adjoining state of Pennsylvania). Has that changed?

I believe it is still only accepting students from Ohio, WV, and Kentucky, but that could have changed. Do you mean it was restricted to all students?

When I inquired, I was told that admissions were restricted to applicants from certain states and that PA was not on the OU list. Too bad as I would have liked to have continued on from the RN-BSN program.

Oh ok, I know they were looking to change that, I think it was something with the PA board of nursing. That is frustrating, it is nice to continue on with the same school!
