Ohio State University Direct Entry MSN Thread Spring 2015

Published

Hello! I am starting a thread for all applicants for the OSU direc-entry MSN!

Hopefully we can keep each other sane through this process. I would love to hear about the experiences of others!

I had my interview today... pretty sure I bombed question number four. I did not like the LikeLive interview process. I don't know if interacting with a computer really demonstrates your personality and I think personality is an important factor to gauge appropriately if you're going to be working as a nurse.

How did your interviews go?

I did not get in. Good luck to everyone else who applied! I'll probably try PA school next.

Your post prompted me to check my application. I also did not get in. I'm not sure what I'm doing from here.

@Angelfish, I hope you made it!

@Angelfish, I hope you made it!

@hungrystudent: I did not get in either :(

Oh well.....I do have other options.....

First, my family and I are moving to the Columbus area next week and there are Accelerated BSN programs in the Columbus area whose application programs are still opened. Second, I think I might look at other programs (e.g. PA).

So heartbreaking.....my passion for women's health and nurse-midwifery is so strong and full! :(:banghead:

I do know that if I get into a BSN program, I can earn my MSN in CNM/WHNP with Frontier Nursing School online with clinicals on their campus several times during the year.

Best wishes to all!

I was wondering if anyone else had received an acceptance or denial. I applied for the FNP track and still have not heard back regarding my status.

I am taking my prerequisites with someone else who applied, who also was not accepted. We all got declined around the same time though.

Have you logged in and checked your status?

Yes. I may or may not have been checking obsessively (haha). As of this afternoon, I'm still pending. The waiting is killing me.

I would take still waiting as a good sign. You are still in the running. I have tried looking around to see if I could find anyone who had been accepted and so far I have not.

Good luck!

That's how I'm trying to take it. Do you mind me asking your background?

I have a BA in sociology. I worked at a bank for about 7 years until it became absolutely soul crushing. I have no formal health care experience.

That's really tough. Do you think you'll apply again? I was just talking to a current student in the program and she applied twice. The second time she changed her specialty to something less competitive and she got in.

My background is in psych and I have a Masters too. I have no medical experience, but lots of patient based experience, so I'm hoping that helps. I haven't heard of anyone getting accepted either. I wonder if anyone has received an acceptance yet.

I will apply again in fall. This time through I'll have all of my prerequisites done as I'm finishing the last few this semester. I have also entertained the idea of either getting a PCA job in L&D or a mother/baby unit or going through doula class with a relative. The only way I would change my specialty is to WHNP which I'm not sure is any less competitive.

That should all help you immensely. I really hope you get in. I want to see someone succeed in getting admitted this year.
