Jefferson FACT 2012

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hello all!

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.

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.

I have a white lab coat to sell as well if you would like it. I will also sell my Jefferson scrub tops mid-May. My clothes are female and small.

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!

Hi SuebNP!

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!!

Hi,

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 so much for the advice! Interviews always make me nervous, but I'm relieved their process seems more relaxed.

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.

I applied for Jeff's prelicensure BSN program with a GPA of 3.00 :unsure:.. n submitted the supplemental app jus today.

Did anybody got in with a 3.16 GPA?(according to nursingcas, my gpa is 3.08 and my science gpa is 3.25) I just have one pre-req left..(biochem).

I also scored low on toefl (overall: 84,writing:25,speaking:23,reading:16:(, listening:20) .....

Does anyone have an idea of what my chances would be?
