Hey melmarie.

I am also a potential MSN Direct Entry student. Congrats with being accepted.

thanks jcarranz5!

I am in my 1st semester of a DE-MSN/CNL program. I'm so glad to be there but it's a *ton* of work! I had been working 20 hrs/wk (and I have 3 kids) but I just quit my job cause I didn't have enough time to study.

I was at UNH for a week-long master class way back during my undergrad. I actually got Lyme disease from a tick bite while I was there so watch out!

Wow...I think so highly of people like you. You have 3 kids and are able to do such a demanding program. I'm worrying about how I am going to find time to relax and I have no kids lol.

I'm starting in the Master's Entry to Nursing Program at DePaul in January. Also doing the CNL thing most likely - I think it's the consolation prize for having had to do the master's research thesis thingy.

oh yay! Another CNL! Its a relatively new field....UNH was the only school in my area that went this direction with their direct entry programs, at the Master's level that is. All other Masters programs programs were for NP or else you could get a second bachelors/RN.

Of the three Masters-Entry programs in Chicago/Illinois, DePaul and Rush both do the CNL thing while UIC makes their students get their RN and then throws them into an advanced care MSN program.

I am also a bio major and I just finished my second quarter a DE program. It is time consuming but I LOVE IT! I found that having science experience is a big help. The non-science majors had a much tougher time. Have fun!

Hello everyone,

Just to introduce myself, I am applying for about a dozen Direct Entry Master's programs throughout California and the East Coast.

I have a Biology degree, with three years experience in a hematopathology clinical laboratory.

Best of luck to all applicants, and I look forward to meeting and discussing this hectic process with you all!
