I applied pretty early to the ACNP program--back in Nov, I think--and found out I was accepted in Feb. sometime. The phone interview was pretty straight-forward. The program director asked me about my experience, reason for wanting the ACNP v. other specialties, and asked me about choosing the MSN over the BS-DNP. I cannot remember much else. It couldn't have been more than a 10 minute interview. Good luck!
I'm wondering if those of you applying have been part of the CEIN program at UCONN. It used to be the MEIN (master's entry into nursing), and still has some master's level coursework in it. It's an Accelerated BSN program, and seems like it's designed to be a "feeder" into UCONN's APRN or dnp programs, but I can't tell how many participants go on to advanced coursework at UCONN or if it really offers an advantage over other applicants. Does anyone have direct experience with this transition?
I applied to the ACNP for 2015... I appled late and they still accepted my application and told me to schedule either a phone or in person interview! I'm so nervous/excited! Any other advice or questions you can think of from your interview would be great! Also since you have been accepted how do you like the program?

I got a place at UCONN to do the acute care track (adult/geri). Anyone else got a place? There were only 15 places available so I'm psyched that they accepted me.
