   UPenn MPN/MSN 2024

   NursingMentorPRN replied to Flower.1's topic in School Programs

   Congrats!! (Women's Health NP/CNM Penn alum here.) So IMO "how much will it cost" is actually a complicated question because the degrees are different, and funding and possible scholarships... And depending on what you want to do post graduation and ...

   Duke University FNP Fall 2024

   NursingMentorPRN replied to jesslauren310's topic in NP Students

   Hi. I had to dig through old text messages with clients to figure this out. Seems like last year was late April. But honestly, this varies so widely from year to year. The best way to find this out is to ask admissions. Usually when you submit, they ...

   Duke University FNP Fall 2024

   NursingMentorPRN replied to jesslauren310's topic in NP Students

   It sounds like your very well prepared for this program. 🙂 Regarding personal statements, I have SO much to say, it's hard to know what specifically applies to you. But I can say the most important thing to do is to demonstrate to the admissions comm...

   UPenn MPN/MSN 2024

   NursingMentorPRN replied to Flower.1's topic in School Programs

   Not sure if you were in the info session that Penn just had but in case you weren't: it sounds like for the new MPN program the "interviews" are just the video recordings you submit with your application. They also just announced that they moved the ...

   Duke University FNP Fall 2024

   NursingMentorPRN replied to jesslauren310's topic in NP Students

   Just wanted to throw this out there since no one replied: I'm an admissions mentor, not a current student. But if you have any specific questions about the application process, I'm happy to share with you what I know based on my experience with my ad...

   What You Should Be Doing Now if You're Applying to a Nurse Practitioner Program in 2023

   NursingMentorPRN replied to NursingMentorPRN's topic in NP Students

   Hi! So sorry I missed this message! This is a really big question that completely depends on your academic background, how long of a process you are prepared for, and finances. About half my clients are international nurses and in my experience, they...

   Yale GEPN 2023

   NursingMentorPRN replied to mmCA's topic in School Programs

   I can't speak directly to Yale's program (I attended Penn's), but I think this is probably true of most programs similar in structure, so I'm going to speak super generally and hope it helps a little. In my experience, the accelerated/RN portion of...

   NursingMentorPRN replied to mmCA's topic in School Programs

   Yes, but here's one client I haven't heard back from yet. I hope you all hear back soon and get the chance to relax over the holiday break.

   Yale GEPN 2023

   NursingMentorPRN replied to mmCA's topic in School Programs

   It's pretty common for schools to release invites by specialty. However this year all my clients seemed to get their Yale invites at the same time, across all specialities. (This applies to GEPN and MSN programs.) Haven't been notified of any rejecti...

    YALE GEPN 2022

    NursingMentorPRN replied to Lemonsauceguy's topic in School Programs

    A bit late to this topic but still wanted to add my two cents since I've seen dozens at this point and feel like I can speak to commonalities in resumes/CVs of accepted students and how to decide what to cut. 1. Attend info sessions and if it's no...

    Hi! While I can't speak firsthand about the student experience of UCSF's program (Penn grad here), I'm happy to answer more admissions-leaning questions here or in DMs. Just didn't want to leave you hanging. Hopefully current students will reply soon...

    How to Prepare for Your School Admissions Interview: Set Yourself Up for (Online) Success

    NursingMentorPRN replied to NursingMentorPRN's topic in General Students

    This is a really big topic and super school-dependent. If I could give general advice to cover most questions, it would be to be prepared to answer in detail why you want to attend that particular school, and have a clear understanding of the role of...

    YALE GEPN 2022

    NursingMentorPRN replied to Lemonsauceguy's topic in School Programs

    Everyone I've spoken to has sent or is planning to send thank you emails. I remember back when I was interviewing, I had the same issue. I emailed admissions and asked for the interviewer's email. I figured a slight delay was better than not sending ...

    How to Prepare for Your School Admissions Interview: Set Yourself Up for (Online) Success

    NursingMentorPRN posted a topic in General Students

    I know this waiting period between submitting your application and an interview invitation can be quite anxiety-provoking. I've been there. But there is something you can do about it. There's often a very short turnaround time between when you receiv...

    YALE GEPN 2022

    NursingMentorPRN replied to Lemonsauceguy's topic in School Programs

    When I attended their info session and tried asking about it, they were surprisingly tight-lipped. They wouldn't share their acceptance rate but said that last cycle they had to reduce the number of seats due to COVID-related clinical limitations (si...
