   Hello, Everyone. Congrats to everyone who go an interview! I heard some great things about the first group who came last weekend and interviewed. Good luck to those of you who have yet to interview. When I interviewed I was told that I had a 50/50 sh...

   I wrote down a couple of thoughts in a separate posting, but I also wanted to say that the most important thing you can do is just be yourself. I know it sounds a bit cheesy, but the truth is that they are looking to match a great class. UCSF has its...

   You can work during years 2-3 as an RN, but jobs are challenging to find without a BSN. People do it, but it can be hard to find that first job. There is one person I know who is working for year 1 of MEPN, but it's taking a toll on them. Not advisab...

    Hello, again, everyone. I just finished my first quarter at UCSF and want you all to know that this program - while challenging in a number of different ways - is also feasible. We have a number of parents who are making this work. Here are some answ...

    I'm in AGNP. The toughest part about the program is just the sheer volume of work. You feel like you are always behind. This first quarter is supposed to be the toughest of the MEPN year, but I am amazed how far we've have all come in such a short ti...

    Hello, Current MEPN here. Don't worry about your math score on the GRE. Mine was similar.

    Marmite16 replied to All_dogs_eat_kale's topic in School Programs

    The GRE is only a minor hurdle relative to the overall application. Spend time on your statements of purpose and really know why you want to become a nurse. This will come up during the interview process.

    Hi, Guys. Current MEPN here. Last year when I was applying another MEPN was very kind in answering questions. I just want to pay it forward. If you have any questions about the program or about the application process, please let me know. I'm insane...

    Marmite16 replied to Telos's topic in NP Students

    The exact same thing happened to me. They were "verifying" one of my transcripts, and I think they didn't even review my application. I got accepted at another nursing school and have already accepted, but I am not sure whether I will even hear back ...
