I have been admitted to a direct-entry nurse practitioner program. Specifically, an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care program. The program is a top-tier brick and mortar school and very costly. I'm looking into several ways of paying for the program and w...

Some of you guys seem to be confused about the difference between NP and MSN. Nurse Practitioner is a title that requires you to hold, at least, an MSN degree. NP isn't a degree. An ADN to MSN program is going to be a straight shot. Depending on the ...

Hello all, I am currently in my first year of a 2-year direct entry AGACNP program. It's going super well and I feel like the program is setting me up for success. I do have a couple of questions though. Mainly, I'm confused on how the expanded role ...

From what I understand, Direct-entry programs are very inconsistent. There are some great ones that produce fantastic NPs, and there are terrible ones that do the opposite. I would just do some research on each of the programs that you are considerin...

I am currently applying to several direct-entry nurse practitioner programs. I have my bachelor's degree in biology and I fell in love with nursing after I graduated. I am, obviously, very interested in becoming a nurse practitioner, specifically an ...

I got my decision on 2-14 and the letter said that I had to accept the offer and pay the deposit by 3-14. So I a month to have my decision in.

How do you all plan on repaying your loans? I am looking into federal loan forgiveness, but Trump's proposed bill could do away with loan forgiveness. I'm curious to see what else there is available.

I got an email that there was an update to my application and I could view it by going to the application portal or whatever. When I got to the page, it said there was an update posted with a link to the decision letter. Also, I wouldn't give up yet....

Congratulations everyone! I was accepted into the prespecialty AGACNP program! And we should definitely start a facebook group!!

Yup. I've applied to 5 direct entry program for non-nurses and I'm applying to a couple of A-BSN programs in Arkansas, where I'm from. They aren't ideal, but they are plenty cheaper.

I didn't because they made it seem like they hadn't made a decision yet. Let me know if you call, and what they say.

I still haven't received a decision letter! I called them just now and was told that my application is still being reviewed and they would send it out when they're done. All they could do is confirm that they have everything they need from me.

Definitely, I know my excitement is unwarranted. I can't help it! It makes me hopeful!

What did you apply for? I'm feeling the same way! I know I shouldn't look into it, but here I am, getting more excited. I applied for the specialty AGAC-NP route.

I haven't received an email either. In fact, out of the 5 programs I've applied to, I've heard from Simmons the least. I received the initial, "Thanks for applying" email, but nothing after that.

I am applying AGAC-NP as well for the prespecialty route. I am from Arkansas.

Nope. All I got before the deadline were mass emails about Virtual Tours and taking prereqs there. I haven't heard anything since submitting, or regarding my application at all.

I am applying to 5 direct entry Nurse practitioner programs: Vanderbilt, Seattle University, Simmons, MGH, and the University of Rochester. I have my Bachelor of Science in Biology and I was originally Premed. The summer of my Junior year, 2015, I to...

I sent my application in on November 1st, and I applied to the FNP program. I would've preferred AGAC-NP but they don't offer that, unfortunately. Do any of you know how many they typically accept for the FNP program?

Now you guys are making me antsy! Is there any reason I should start checking mine frequently?

It seems, at least to me, as though they don't have very many applicants, or at least not as many as they'd like. They not only extended their deadline, but they also just called me to make sure my application was coming along well. I actually decide...

I haven't heard anything from them. The "Application Status" page isn't very helpful, as it just tells you that you have all of your documents uploaded and everything. To be fair, I applied to 2 other programs whose deadline was Nov. 1st and haven't ...

Ssylvia1647, I'm in the exact same boat as you. BS in biology AGACNP track. I would've done the emergency nurse practitioner, AGACNP with FNP dual focus, but that isn't for prespecialty. My undergrad GPA is a little low, but my prereq GPA is around a...

I'm applying to the 2018 MGH DEN program. I haven't submitted my application yet, but I have almost all of the pieces together. The only thing I am still working on is the diversity statement. I am applying to the Adult-Geri Acute Care track. I think...
