Being a CNS applicant affects your chances of getting in as any other specialty does in that all the specialties have a certain number of slots that they reserve. So although FNP is usually the most impacted, they reserve more spots for that specialt...

For our MEPN year the Financial Aid team from the School of Nursing specifically sent us an application to apply for small scholarships that (to my knowledge) whoever filled one out got at least some sort of aid. Maybe just one or two thousand but it...

I am a current MEPN and when we interviewed earlier this year they divided the two groups of interview dates depending on where everyone was from. So the first group was generally people from SF/Bay Area and the second group was people from elsewhere...

That's awesome! I love to hear that people are applying to this specialty. My heart is so in it and it sounds like yours is too. I'll reiterate what my classmates have said, no matter what specialty you choose, it's about showing your true self and b...

Hi @KCC2020. I am currently one of 5 APHN in my cohort this year. We are definitely one of the smaller specialties in size, so I guess in that way it's less "competitive". Last year had only 1 or 2 and the year before I believe there were no APHN stu...

I have been offered admission as well for APHN! I am so excited to meet you all ?

Thank you, Vicksburg! What exactly kind of information were you looking for?

Not sure, I am wondering about financial aid as well. I am interviewing for public health specialty!

Jk, you said PNP. How exciting! Don't know what to do, I feel like I've been waiting so long to hear about this and now I can't believe it's happening!

I received an invitation to interview for this day also! What specialty are you interviewing for? I am doing APHN

Like if you try to zoom in does it blur? Mine look fine, but on one of them when I start to zoom in it does become a little blurry but just a little.

Also, did they mention anything about how to put separate grades for lecture and lab classes? I was going to email them right now about it. For example, if I got a B for lecture but A for the lab portion of a class?

Thank you so much! I will make sure to do that.

I attended the information session on July 11 and what I wrote down on my notes was "can be any format" but I don't remember why? On the paper that I wrote that on is the one that's titled "MSN/MECN Application Procedure" and for the SOP the only gui...

Thank you! Wasn't sure if it was mandatory either. I went to the information session in July, but I can't remember what they said about it!

I am wondering the same thing, did anyone get back to you about this? I am not sure if to leave it blank or put "n/a" or what.

No, I didn't even end up taking it because I saw it wasn't required anymore.

Agreed, this thread has been super helpful! Let's hope for the best come December. I will soon be turning mine in as well !

I am applying to APHN! Almost done with my application and then the waiting game begins...

I'm sure as I write it, my personal history and/or experiences will have to do with my goals as a nurse and the other parts of the statement, so I would say yes as long as it ties back into the main thing that you are trying to say.

I have the same feeling! I feel like it's been a long time coming preparing and preparing and I am so excited to finally apply! I just found out that UC Davis has a MEPN and I'm glad I found out just in time to apply. I started my NursingCAS applicat...

Hi @livewellmm, do you know if there is a UCD MEPN 2019 thread? I just found this one and learned that UCD offered MEPN for Public Health Nursing and I would like to apply. I have learned a lot from this one and would be great to start one for 2019 i...

Because they have the MEPN option and because they have the concentration that I want, Public Health. If it doesn't work out later and if after applying for a few years, I still am not accepted anywhere, I will probably look into for profit.

Thank you so SO much for sharing this @isabellala, you have no idea! I was just about to register to take it and I just called the phone number that is on the MEPN Admission Requirements page to confirm what it says on the link that you shared [(415)...

Hi @psychache, thanks so much for creating the thread for 2019! I am very excited about the program too. I have been preparing for a couple years now and am finally ready to apply this summer. I have been following previous years' threads and they ar...
