Loyola University Chicago NP program

Published

Hi, I recently applied to Loyola University Chicago for the January start (Women's Health track). Anyone out there also apply?? I am having trouble finding much info on the program.

I currently live in Central Florida so at some point in the program I would move to the Chicago area as the program is not all online. I am nervous but hope to hear back soon!

Hey,

Congrats!!! I have not heard anything about the clinical rotations yet. I'm anxious to know myself. I haven't heard about the classes either other then an assigned advisor will help develop your class plan with you. Hopefully we will learn more soon. Good luck with your housing search!!!:)

How was the application process? What about your GPA if you don't mind I'm at 3.0

The application process wasn't bad. I started 2-3 months prior to the deadline because I'm prone to procrastination. The personal mission statement took the most work. My GPA is 3.75.

I love how their FNP track offers an emergency subspecialty! Loyola is a great university! I think their graduate program isn't downtown where their main campus is though. I also heard they find the clinical preceptors for you too! Good luck!

TinaMas - you're correct. Grad program is in Maywood - the college of nursing, stritch medical school, and Loyola university medical center is there. Keep in mind if living in Chicago, Loyola isn't easily accessible by public transportation - you'd have to take at least one train and bus, so a car would be a plus. Also, for everyone relocating, look into where clinicals will be, as some are completely inaccessible by public transport, so you may definitely need a car or spend money for a zip car / Uber / or cabs.
