Hi everyone, I'm just feeling very depressed right now. I want to be a FNP, but I feel like there's no hope for me. I graduated with a BSN in Alabama relocated to Kansas. I worked telemetry/stepdown for 3 years, and now I'm in the float pool. I decided to get serious about applying to local FNP programs in my area. My Gpa is a dismal 3.47. I have been rejected by one school because my GPA was too low. I feel so frustrated, I worked so hard for that GPA only to find out it's nothing in the world of FNP programs. I want to apply to Kansas University, but I just feel so inadequate, I've been a regular staff nurse for 3 years, I haven't written any scientific papers, or been involved in any amazing hospital revolutions. I just feel like I'll never get in any FNP program, because of my GPA and the fact that all I've done is work. I just need some encouragement, all these rejection letters are damaging my self esteem. HELP! lol.
I'm going to start a new thread about this but, I just wanted to say, I got accepted to a Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program in the area, I'm still sending out applications but I just wanted to share that!!
dont be discouraged! I had a 2.9 and got into fairfield university's DNP program!! Work hard on your essay and show leadership and initiative on your resume and you'll get it!!
I just wanted to update this, I got accepted to the University of Missouri's FNP program. It's a DNP program so i'll be working on it for some time, but because to be honest the price is right, and at this point in my life I have the time to complete it, I'm going to accept and go for it. I'd applied to other schools that are MSN's, but it'll actually cost me quite a bit less to get a DNP than my MSN. So, wish me luck. I start in June. Thank you for all the encouragement you guys gave me!
