    Ohm108 replied to tnoelle's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi nurseB_2NP, Thanks for the info and for the heads up on the change to the website but I'm going to work with the assumption (for now) that the speciality is discontinued until they tell me...

    Ohm108 replied to tnoelle's topic in School, College Programs

    So just a quick check-in with a question. I submitted my application on July 6th and I still have all my pre-reqs outstanding with red x's. I already e-mailed the nursing questions e-mail twice and...

    Ohm108 replied to tnoelle's topic in School, College Programs

    I just got a response from Emory explaining the situation so this is what I know so far. I am glad that they have been so responsive given the change was so sudden: 1) For those of us who already...

    Hi @nurseB_2NP, I found the e-mail in my spam folder as I was clearing it out and came across it. You might find it in your spam folder as well. I thought the same as you and thought perhaps it...

    Ohm108 replied to tnoelle's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for replying! Yes, it looks like they will let me choose either FNP or Midwifery but the question is how I am going to do that since everything is submitted and the essay prompt that I wrote...

    Hi everyone, I just received an email from Jasmine Hoffman that the dual track Midwifery and FNP program has been discontinued going forward. I applied to the dual track so this is coming out from...

    Ohm108 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At the hospital where I volunteer, we have sitz baths and peri bottles for new moms after delivery in postpartum. We also give the new moms peri bottles and sitz baths to take home with them if they...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    I came across this video about whether there is currently a nursing shortage in CA and I thought it might be of interest to this group. There continues to be a lot of discussions with regards to this...

    Hi @endodiabpnp, welcome to the boards and congratulations on submitting your application. I've talked to a few people that are also applying to the program and they said the same thing about not...

  11. UCSF MEPN 2018

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    For mine, I answered the questions as stories related to my healthcare experience and I tied those to what is important to UCSF based on UCSF's mission statement. Those items are equitable access to...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    My Personal History Statement was exactly 2 pages but my goal statement was 2 pages and 3 lines. I couldn't find a way to shorten it anymore and as mentioned by @rhnovak I saw that the website said...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    It depends on the school(s) that you attended and whether they opted for the ability to send electronic transcripts. For me, the ones that didn't, I sent via snail mail to the Koret Way address on...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Okay my application has been submitted and is now complete. I got the e-mail that said it is now being reviewed by the admissions committee. @abbybetty - I finally just hit the submit button like...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    I probably need to follow up with Steven since he received and opened it on July 23rd for the first set I sent. The others were mailed on Aug 16th and later so it might take another few days since...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    @ rhnovak - Definitely give your recommenders a reminder. I gave my recommenders a reminder at the 2 month and 2 week marks. So if you have someone you really want as your recommender then just send...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Yup, all my recommendations are complete but I haven't seen anything for my transcripts yet even though I did receive a confirmation that UCSF opened the e-transcript for one of my undergrad...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    @rhnovak I saw that when I first started applying so what I did was kept uploading drafts into the system as I edited my goals and personal history statements so I was sure that I would always have a...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    I read the thread a long time ago but I think some of them might have called up the coordinator and asked for more time or dispensation since it might have been a technical glitch on the UCSF side of...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Congratulations @abbybetty! Thanks for the advice. I agree with half of what you wrote lol. I add something new to my statement and it sounds better but then the rest of the statement then sounds...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Lol, I am glad that UCSF looks at everything holistically since my last standardized test was the SATs which was almost 20 years ago and it has been awhile since I have been in school. I am applying...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for commiserating! I am also applying to SFSU but to the ELMSN not the ELM-A. Main reason for me was the cost since at the info session I attended, they said that the ELM-A falls under the...

    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi @rhnovak, welcome to the boards. I don't think you need to worry that applying for the fee waiver will make you look "bad." Like @abbybetty said, they offer the fee waiver for a reason so take...
