I thought that too but they do! It’s in the part of the packet of what programs they accept

Yeah I opened up a case with them last month. I’ll probably call to see what’s going on.

Exactly. I didn’t submit it yet but it was the option for when you enter your school and they have to review it. My school is an eligible program and it’s accredited so I’m like what’s going on??

No if didn’t submit it! It was for when you initially put your school and they have to review it.

Nurse Corp sent an email that my program was denied but they never shared why. I’m currently trying to get more clarification on why they denied it.

My program keeps getting denied but it’s accredited. It’s the GEM rush university program in Chicago. Does anyone else have this issue? I tried calling the center and they keep giving me the same generic statement that I should double check the accreditation.

Thank you for the response! I should have clarified I’ve always been interested in the medical field (I was first pre-med, pre-pa) but during my last semester I made the switch to nursing as I liked the more holistic approach towards medicine. Also I wasn’t familiar with the diversity of careers in the field (I was only exposed to bedside). I want to become a nurse first to care for the populations I described so I can have a more rounded scope before going straight to the PhD route and give me some more time and exposure to the field to ultimately decide if I want to go down that route. With clinical experience hopefully it will give me more insight if I want to do a more research focused degree in the long run or a DNP if I fall in love with clinical work.

Currently, I’m deciding which would be the best fit for me… Ultimately want to get my Ph.D., in the end, to conduct research in mental health disorders for POC and minority children (I love kids!). As for now, I want to get my RN to work for 1-2 years to get experience with pediatric populations and learn more about the nursing field so I can properly assist the population I’m studying. I attended UW Madison (I am from Wisco) with a BS in HDFS and I’ve done research for 4 years. Currently, I work for a lab as a research technician studying COVID in AA communities. I love the idea of living in a big city and working with the city population! However, I also love how Emory offers an in-person Ph.D. and receives greater funding from the NIH. Honestly, Emory is pricey but I wouldn’t have to worry about my doctorate in the future as both RUSH AND EMORY offer fully-funded tuition and stipend… I am also a black woman if that also helps with anything haha. (If y’all know about scholarships please let me know!) Overall both schools are wonderful options! It’s just the idea of packing up and moving further or just 2hrs away, financial aid, and is it worth it to go to a pricer school for the name???
