I just submitted my application later in January (was told to wait until my prereq grades posted from last semester). Like others, I received an email to my personal email that directed me to the system.

I have a question. I dont quite understand how to get certified in an advanced specialty such as FNP, ACNP,... Once we finish the MSN program and graduate, do we go straight to the chosen specialty or we have to work for one year as an RN before going back for the certification? if so, do we need to apply again for the program? 

I have a question. So is this program a hybrid online/ offline, but it is required for us to move to SE WI/ NE IL? And we're based out of PP rather than Milwaukee?

It is hybrid and you will need to live near the PP campus at least because we are required to do labs, simulations, and exams at the PP location (1-3x per week). Also, Clinicals are within a few minutes, and no further than 2 hours from PP.  We start with 1 clinical per week in the first semester, from what I understand. All main resources or in Milwaukee, such as the library and admin offices. I’m moving from Texas and looking around Racine or Kenosha, preferably.

I’m curious about this too. When I first spoke with my advisor, about a year ago, he mentioned that some people apply for the certification/NP portion in their 4th-5th semesters. I’m going to ask for further clarification during out next call in two weeks. The website is not very clear on this portion. I do know we have to apply for any of the certifications.
