Frontier University class 201 PMHNP Fall 2021

[Itrin, BSN]

Hello,

Am applying for the fall session at FNU. I am almost done with my application,  hopefully will be submitting within this week. If there is anybody out there willing to share any experiences on how their application for the PMHNP went feel welcome to do so. As well, for any of you applying for the same session as me please share any thoughts you may have. 

 

I already received an email with some of the information... I will be posting it here

 

Frontier Nursing University / Online Application Received / Fall 2021 Term / Class 201 / MSN: Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program 

 

Thank you for your application to Frontier Nursing University. Applications are now being processed for the MSN + Optional Companion DNP classes.

 

Your FNU ID is

 

Please use this number for future correspondence.

 

The next step in your application process is to submit your application materials. In order to upload all required application materials and complete your application for admission, follow this link to a secure external Frontier Nursing University site.  

 

Once on this site you will submit the following documents:

Resume (or Curriculum Vitae, if applicable, for Portfolio option only)

Essay 1 (Option 1 or Option 2; 500 words maximum)

Essay 2 (Time Management Statement)

Essay 3 (Reflective Essay, if applicable, for Portfolio option only)

Three Professional References (Two professional supervisors and one professional peer)

Copy of RN License, current state ARNP Licensure, and Certification (if applicable)

 

Official Transcripts - Request final and official transcripts from all previously attempted/completed nursing courses and nursing degrees. Transcripts from unrelated degrees and/or courses are not required. Official transcripts may be submitted electronically via Parchment, the National Student Clearinghouse, or from the degree/course granting institution to [email protected]. If submitting transcripts electronically is not an option, transcripts should be mailed to the address listed below. 

Frontier Nursing University 

ATTN: Admissions Office 

2050 Lexington Road 

Versailles, KY 40383

In the event the transcripts are mailed to you, they should be forwarded to the FNU Admissions Office. Do not open the envelopes—doing so will result in your transcripts becoming unofficial which will delay your application process. Official transcripts must be final and show your degree conferred, date, and name of the degree.  If the name on your transcript varies from the name on your enrollment application please notify your Admissions Officer. Your file is NOT complete until transcripts have been received by the FNU Admissions Office.  Transcripts must be received on or before the published deadline date.

 

Verification of Physical/Health Assessment course (clearly labeled on your transcripts and at least 3 credit hours) - We may need to request course syllabi for your Physical/Health Assessment course, so to expedite your file these documents need to be readily available. If you have not completed this course previously, you can still be considered for admission. However, please note that if admitted this course will be integrated into your final Program of Study.

 

Background Notice

Please be advised, a background check is a final step in completing your admission criteria to FNU (background checks are not required for non-matriculating applicants). Applicants who receive an offer of admission will be required to complete a background check. The offer of admission will include instructions for completing the background check. Applicants with a felony conviction will not be admitted. No exceptions. Applicants with a non-felony conviction must submit a written statement outlining the conviction and will be considered on an individual basis.

I was accepted into the cohort starting Summer 2021. The decision came via email exactly 6 weeks from the application deadline. When questions came up as I was compiling my application, I would reach out to my advisor by email and she was very helpful. Good luck!

Thank you for the information.  I am anxiously waiting.  Did you submitted all your paperwork ahead of time. I am just wondering if it will take that long since I sent the documents early ? 

Congratulations as well. I guess you by now you either completed or about to complete your bound.

Good luck

No problem! My application was actually submitted only a few days before the deadline because I was waiting for my last letter of rec to be completed. I recall reading in previous year's threads that the typical turnaround time for decisions is 6-8 weeks, so I don't know that you would hear any sooner than that. It seems like they release the decisions all at once and not on a rolling basis. 
I will be attending Bound in June. So far, the process for completing all of the paperwork for Bound has been easy and, again, the staff responds quickly if clarification is needed. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions!

Thank you for letting me know. I recently received an email saying my application was updated(everything completed) and will be evaluated and as you mentioned I should get an answer from 6 to 8 weeks . Hopefully won't take that long.

Hi

 

For which specialty are you applying if you don't mind sharing.

 

Am still on shock I was accepted , even when I met all the requirements I knew I was going to be competing with other other people who also met the requirements...

 

I honestly think the essays and recommendations had a huge impact on their decision.... but who knows...

 

 

don't lose hope

 

 

[appw77]

Congratulations everyone! And if you're on the waitlist, don't lost hope!

I agree with the above comment that your essays and letters of rec are an opportunity to make yourself stand out from the rest. My BSN GPA was OK (3.5) and I had 2.5 years RN experience when I was applying. 

I will be doing Frontier Bound in two weeks. If you have any questions about the process thus far, feel free to reach out!
