I'm in the same boat. I'm 25 and started nursing in 2019. I did 1.6 years on a Level 1 CCU/MICU then was per diem while taking ICU travel contracts. During all this, I enrolled in a AGACNP program for a year, but then I applied to switch tracks cause I did NOT feel the program would prepare me well. (I learned to intubate/lumbar puncture/CVL/ thoracentesis from watching online videos, and the validations were easier than the ones for my BSN.) Anyway, I started working an additional PRN job in psych between ICU contracts and got approved to switch to the PMHNP track. The only problem is that I cannot stop thinking about CRNA school. CRNA school was my original plan since undergrad, and I feel like COVID burnout/fear of rejection took me off course.

Update: I got my offer for admission pending a drug screen/background check today. But.. I was already offered a spot to finish my degree in UABs PMHNP program.

@jrridgway I still haven’t heard anything either. I’m gonna email them one more time, but there’s really no excuses for it taking this long when classes start in less than 3 months. If it’s this unorganized to get an admissions decision, the program is probably unorganized too.

Nothing here either

@Spruily31 I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get in. IDK what they’re looking for. I was actually halfway through the Acute NP Program at UAB when I took a LOA to switch to Psych (UAB) or Psych/FNP at (UA). I’m still waiting to hear back there too but I know their deadline is in October. Usually they’ll make decisions within a month of the deadline. What program did you apply to at UAB?

@NicolePsychRN I haven’t heard anything yet

@Spruily31 have you heard anything yet?

@Spruily31 Nothing yet. My application still says Awaiting Departmental Review

My application status hasn't changed yet. Maybe they're going in alphabetical order? My last name starts with "S" if that helps.

Nope, still waiting. My application status hasn't changed either.

@LEM thank you!! I hope we all hear something by Monday

Has anyone heard anything from the program? I applied to the dual program. They originally thought I had a masters already, but once I got that cleared up they sent me an interview invitation on August 5th. I turned it on on August 15th (due to a super crazy work schedule), but I haven’t heard anything back. It still says “Waiting for Departmental Review.”

I got in as well. CONGRATS everyone!

I think it’s gonna be by the 29th-30th (most likely by email due to COVID.) I have a couple of friends that applied for DNP, and I know they sent out those acceptances in waves. They also had to option to apply for MSN too. So they probably have to sort through those applications and acceptances first which is why we don’t find out until the end of April. Good luck everyone!
