Question for NPs or NP students: I am finding that all the NP programs in my area are FNP programs -- without other specialties specified. It was my understanding that NP students were required to choose a "specialty" at the start of their NP education. So... is "Family Nurse Practitioner" the specialty? Or, is that just the umbrella term for NP school, but then you'll be expected to choose a specialty once you start school? So.... let's say I want to work in women's health. Can I enroll in an FNP program and still decide to work in that field after school? Can I (or do I need to) specialize AFTER school? Does an FNP program pigeon-hole you into working only as a PCP in a family clinic? Or is there more flexibility there in terms of what you can do once you get an FNP? I appreciate any insight. Thank you in advance and my apologies for the confusing question. ?

People who are getting acceptances now: Please come join the SCC NURSING CEP FALL 2020 START group on facebook and introduce yourself! ? To those of us who haven't heard back yet.... do NOT give up hope! You got this.

WOW!, thank you for the kind and inspiring reality check. I wish my comment could have been so credible and uplifting. Thanks!

thanks for the well wishes!! I am incredibly excited to begin my nursing career with the cep program this fall. received my acceptance last week! Yay! Good luck to you as well my friend.

I really think it’s irresponsible to spread misinformation about something you likely know nothing about. UA is not a part of this program. If you didn’t apply to this program then stop putting fear in people’s minds because it’s incredibly unfair and not welcome.

Here is the SCC CEP group!

Thursday late afternoon. Like rifht after I was posting freaking out about it lol. And thank you!

I got in to SCC / GCU (first choice) with 84.5 points. ?

I’m so confused. Why haven’t I received an acceptance yet even though I applied to SCC with 84.5 points and other people have less than me reporting acceptances?! I’m scared!!!! Ahhhhh!!! Do they have my email wrong lol?
