I am so glad I was directed to this discussion forum. I believe it is a great place to share and learn. I am extremely interested in Jefferson's FACT program. I plan to apply for May 2012. I just wanted to reach out to anyone with similar interest and your thoughts on the process. I would like to know who else plans to apply for May 2012 and if your pre-req's have been completed.
Just to share a little about myself, I am completing my BS in Public Health at an online University (3 weeks left!) and have all the pre-req's completed. I am just excited about this next journey.
I also love how Jefferson FACT students automatically are accepted into the MSN program. My goal is to become a Women's Health NP, and Jefferson seems to be the way to go.
I would also love to hear from current students as well.
Hello- I applied to the 2013 FACT program and have a phone interview coming up... Are there any current students/applicants that would be willing to share some advice or let me know what to expect? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I interviewed with the program in person last month. It was a very casual interview with an Admissions Counselor (not faculty). My best advice would be to know the differences in roles between NP/CBS/PA/MD because they may ask you "why not PA school?" They also asked "Why Jefferson, specifically?"
The experience was a positive one in general; you'll be great, don't worry!!
It is a very casual interview, haven't heard of anybody that got an interview and not accepted. Just make sure why you choose Jefferson over other schools, why become a nurse (any inspirations?), what do know about the role of nurses, any clinical experiences that may relate to nursing? Good luck.
Thank you FingersCross'd and Stellaire for the encouraging advice. I had my phone interview with an admissions counselor this morning, and got my email acceptance! You were right, the interview was extremely casual and overall, a great experience!
Hello everyone! I was also accepted to this program and paid the deposit a few days ago. Does anyone know if there is a thread on FACT students in the MSN portion of the program? I would really love to hear what they have to say about it. Also...does anyone know when the first day of class is? I graduate in May and am just wondering how many days off I will have between programs.
.. n submitted the supplemental app jus today.

I do not have the one with an ipad pocket. Just to be clear. None of my friends used those anyway even after they brought it. Up to you.
