  1. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    @FutureRN9992: It is 4 years in total to get the DNP. At the end of year 3, you will be eligible to sit and take your board exam for your NP and try to find a job while you wrap up your DNP...

    @futuregoals27 Classes for GEP Prep start usually the second week of August and then transitions into the first semester.

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Hi @santakali123: At least for the first year, you have two clinical sites. One of which is on campus, the other is 5min down the road from the school. I am pretty sure you can take the bus and...

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    @CCProspectiveDNPFNP: I don’t think you will be too forward in asking her as she was more than happy to do that for us last year. It’s too hard to get that level of reach without her help and...

  5. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    @CCProspectiveDNPFNP: No problem at all! PM me or inform the group of us when you make that facebook page and then I’ll join it too. I’ll let my cohort know too so we can organize events...

  6. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    @ryoung79 they meet with people 1-1 so you might have just been in the waiting room. I recommend if you decide to go back from 2-4 to wait for the entire length of time and eventually you will be...

  7. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Hi @CCProspectiveDNPFNP: Congrats on your recent acceptance! I’ll number my responses to your questions based on your question number. I apologize that this turned into a book. ? 1.) A...

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    I sent them an email but they do take a million years to respond. We got an email from them today and they are hosting office hours Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 10-11 and 2-4. You might be sent...

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    @kavauro Good luck tomorrow! You’ll be just fine. I put up some sample interview questions in an above thread that you can see. I’m sure others can chime in with their most recent interview...

  10. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    @wp650 yes, they have a formal accepted students day. Ours was virtual (yours probably will be too unless things change). You may not have heard anything yet because they are still accepting students....

  11. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Hi @ryoung79: Each semester varies greatly (and can change with COVID), but I can tell you what my class schedule was last semester. Monday: 9:00-11:30 (Med/Surg), 1:30-3:00 (Biomed) and...

  12. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Yeah relaxing is what I would recommend the most. Even with the med math packet that you will receive over the Summer, do not... and I repeat DO NOT spend all that time reading the chapters. Just...

  13. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    That’s a great question! I would say the biggest pro would be the professors and the timeliness of the program. Getting an RN in one year is awesome and we can work throughout the program as well....

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to both of you @wp650 and @Niithompson22! That’s so great to hear. ? I’m assuming this school is your first choice, so please let me know if you have any other direct questions...

  15. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    I’m glad the questions were helpful! I hope you get in!! ? You do get some additional funds for expenses like books, but it is through the grad plus loan, which is separate. You get it after...

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Hi wp650: In terms of financial aid, mine was covered all federally through the FAFSA. I don’t recall them giving me any aid, but I think in DNP years (2-4), they have internal loan options...

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Yes, MGH institute and UMass are different programs/colleges entirely.

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    What you experienced is common for in-person interviews where you might know only the person who contacted you. Even so, this person may only be the secretary. In my case (and assuming for this...

  19. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    I like the program so far, but like all programs it has its pros/cons. It is a lot at first (especially since you don’t know anything about nursing), but you will adjust quickly. PM me if you want...

  20. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2020

    AMPatts1190 replied to massDNP's topic in School, College Programs

    I wouldn’t say you need healthcare experience, but it would be nice to have. Many students were EMT’s, but I was a Research coordinator (so not healthcare related). If you are military, you could...

  21. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2021

    AMPatts1190 replied to Niithompson22's topic in General Students

    Hi Niithompson22: I’m happy to hear you are applying to the GEP/DNP for 2021. I am a current year 1 GEP student and I can answer any questions that you (and others) may have. To sail through...

    AMPatts1190 replied to massDNP's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Grace! I am also in the GEP AGACNP track for 2024. I had my interview a couple weeks ago and I recently received a call from the head of admissions (Diane) stating that I was accepted. ? To answer...
