New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

[Cid13]

Hi all,

In the last week, U of AZ has posted a change to their programs. They have dropped their 2nd degree BSN and have added a mepn program (master's entry to the profession of nursing (mepn) pathway). This is available to those who already have a non-nursing bachelor's degree.

check out the link for more info:

I called to get more info. They said tuition would probably run between 35-45k(depends on residency status). They will start having info sessions on the new program starting at the end of this month.

i chose sponsored as 1st choice and self-paid as 2nd choice. so what are your guys's gpa? the con advisor says high gpa with a bad interview performance may lead to not getting admitted. i am so nervous now. i have a 4.0 for prerequisites and 3.55 for my 4 year undergraduate.

Hi Gabby,

I have a 9:05 interview and am driving to Tucson from southern CA. I'm going a day early to check out the campus and the city too!

[gabby27]

Have a fun trip BeckNursingStudent. I'll be on the road for 15 hours. Ahhhh ! I can't complain though, hubby is doing the driving since I've been known to get highway hypnosis.

Best of luck to you in your interview.

Well, the big day is approaching. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

I hope everyone has a safe journey to Tucson. The winds are picking up and there are rumors of rain, just an FYI to be prepared for the weather.

GOOD LUCK!!!

All of those that had interviews, how were they?

[zhongguolong]

It is ok. Just they got 198 applicants out of 300 to interview. So they still have to cut down 102 people. That sucks! Well, we will know the results next week.

[Jacoba]

The interviews were very short since, like Zhongguolong said, they were interviewing nearly 200 people. There were 3 to a group with 2 interviewers per group. They asked very basic questions; mostly questions about personal and academic character. I didn't go to the hospital interviews, but there were a lot of others that did.

So will they be deciding and sending out letters this week or next? All they told me was the beginning of March. I've been running out after the postman every day - the suspense is killing me! Good luck to you all!

I was actually in the last group waiting for the hospital interview and the CON staff was cleaning up. They had 190+/- interviewees and there are only 90 spots this year. They cut the Yuma program.

Don't bother chasing the mailman, they will notify using the same method we were contacted for interviews, by email. We were also told we would know in a couple of weeks, which tells me this weekend or so.

It was a very interesting process and the CON staff was pretty cool. Here's to hoping for the best!

Wow..I did not realize they interviewed that many this year! I've been constantly checking my e-mail in hopes of great news. Keeping my fingers crossed! Best of luck to you all!!
