  1. Direct Entry Psych MH NP programs

    I'm doing the MEPN Psych for UW right now. So far it is only the FNP for the doctorate but I do belive next year the Psych will be added to the doctorate. Nevertheless, I believe the Psych track will...
  2. WA does not have any accBSN programs. They only have the Master Entry Programs. There is 3 in WA--UW, Seattle U and PLU. I start the UW MEPN program on Monday. The closest accBSN is in
  3. Nursing School vs. Pharmacy School

    Hi, My sister is actually in Pharmacy school now. The PharmD program is actually 4 years long and 2 years of prereqs. When she is done she will be making at min. 80k. I think most Pharmacists make...
  4. I don't want to be negative, but in all honesty you will be less competitive than other applicants. Keep in mind that they say that is their requirement, but it really depends on each school's...
  5. GPA Stress

    I would not worry about it too much. I got a B in microbiology and I still got into a top notch program. Chemistry is hard especially if you have a sucky lab partner. My lab partner is actually...

  7. Hi everyone, I was wondering if current or past MEPN students can comment on this. I was wondering how intense these programs are? I got into 2 different MEPN programs and one school hasnt really...

  10. GPA question

    My GPA is a 3.92 (It was at a 3.96 but an A- actually brought it down!!!). Is there any way for me to bring it up to a 4.0??? Do you have to have absolutely all A's for a 4.0 or can I bring it up over...
  11. Average GPA

    IMHO, B's are ok. I mean not the most competitive but grades dont define success in a program. I know it is a different field--but my sister has been a B student all her life and got into a top notch...
  12. Who really wants to help people????

    Nursing is definitely not that high-paying for the level of stress that nurses have to deal with. People really have to be intrinsically motivated to help people on some level! At least this is what I...
  13. Thanks arciedee for your encouraging words. I have to get over this mentality. I guess it doesnt help that I was orginially waitlisted at this school. I applied to 4 other schools and go into the...
  14. Direct Entry Psych MH NP programs

    Hi Hb97, Thanks! I thought I would never get in because it is so competitive. It was definitely my "reach school". Anyhow, back to your question. My experience in psych is working with substance...
  15. Direct Entry Psych MH NP programs

    Hi, PsyKardinal, I was accepted into UW's program. I must say though this program is really competitive (I was orginally waitlisted) They accept only 24 students per year and 3-4 spots are reserved...
  16. Thanks guys. I got accepted into University of Washington's MEPN program and I really nervous about it. I honestly never thought I would get in (this was my 'Reach School') and they only accept 24...

  18. accepting applications still?

    Drexel's Ace program (accBSN) in Philly is still accepting apps for Spring 2008. All you have to do is fill in an online app and send in transcripts and that is it. No letters, essay or interview. I'm...
  19. Hi, It took about a month for my acceptance letter. I applied for Fall 2007. Nonetheless, I declined the offer but they do require a 500 dollar deposit when you accept a spot and you have 40 days to...
  20. Help! choose Duke BSN or UVa MSN?

    Hey Mintaka, Congrats on getting in. IMHO, I would go for Duke. I think it would be easier to get a Post-Master's certificate than applying for a Master's program. If you do the Duke Program then...
  21. For instance a top ten nursing school versus a school that isnt even ranked? What if one school is more affordable (but lesser known) versus a school that is more expensive, which would you
  22. I had sort of the same situation, this girl asked to see my ANP essays. Her and I took the same ANP class and she ended up having to retake it. I got A's on my essays and she wanted to see them so she...

  24. Wasn't much of a student

    It really depends on the type of program your looking at. It seems from prev posts that community college programs are the toughest to get into and based strictly on GPA (except for the whole lottery...
  25. Average GPA

    My friend got into University of Washington's BSN program with a 2.8. Nevertheless, his science grades were a lot higher. UW also takes into account the holistic view of the applicant. He had...
