Hey I chose MEPN. cost was a main factor for me, I have three small kids so didn't want to blow a ton of money.I had heard they were essentially very similar programs and upon graduation you are technically hired as the same. I was awarded the Aims4nursing scholarship and that essentially made me choose MEPN

Got it! Well my name is Katie, and I hope to get to know you better come May ❤️

Hey! I have zero answers to any of your questions as I am a new student as well but where are you seeing this information concerning clinical?
-

It sounds like you've had a really great experience in a really hard program. This makes me hopeful for myself. You're amazing and I wish you the best! I'll probably for sure have more questions but this has been so great being able to speak with people who have actually experienced this program.
-
This is very encouraging, I can only hope and pray to have the same experience as you! I'll probably pop on here and bug you again sometime! Best of luck and congrats on an amazing achievement Best of luck!

Thank you so much. I'm like you, I have to work really hard to understand and retain information. I am so grateful to you for responding, this really eased my fears. Is there any advice or things you wish you would have known before starting your program? This is masking! Thank you for all this information, I really truly appreciate it! Congrats and getting through and doing so well, I wish you the best and maybe I'll come on here and bug you again soon!

OK, I was just seeing if either program offered more flexibility or more in person. I think I learn better when I'm in an in person atmosphere. Were you able to connect with a group of individuals in your cohort to help with studying and understanding material?
-
Wow I wish I would have messaged on here earlier! Thanks for all this information. I really appreciate you clearing up the MS part, I have friends who are current RN's and told me it wouldn't do much for me. I've stated before I've got three kids, my biggest concern is "Am I smart enough for this program?” Do you feel like most people on your cohort were just naturally gifted academically or is it possible to grind and work hard if you're not the smartest? I hope that makes sense
-
OK good to know. I was told the MEPN is more in person than online? Would you say most of your lectures are in person? I'm so glad you said you like the professors, that's one of my biggest fears, not having compassionate good teachers. Is there any advice you would have given yourself ahead of time if you could go back? Any study materials or useful things you wish you maybe knew before starting your program?
-
OK interesting before I was told the MS is not a true Masters? That if I wanted to get into education or administration, I would have to go back and get an MSN? can you remember what your first semester was like? How much time in person versus online?

Hey!! Fellow mom here too! I've got a 12 year old, 4 year old and 1 year old! So the Aims scholarship is still available for my cohort, only 10 students will be awarded the scholarship though.. can you tell me what made you eligible for the scholarship? Part of the reason I want to accept the MEPN admissions is because of the possibility of the scholarship... just wasn't sure what they look for to get it? I am assuming both programs are hard since they are accelerated, how are your professors? Do you feel supported?
-
Hey thanks for getting back to me. So I have three small kids, but a great support system. I am curious if you know or can tell me if you felt the MEPN program was more in person than the BSN? Did you feel like your professors were compassionate? And does the MS portion of your degree offer any advantages?
-
Hey! I've been accepted to the MEPN and BSN-IH program and looking for some input. How have you liked your program? Any advice and info would be greatly appreciated Katie
