Dr. Shelly, thank you so much ! I received my BSN from UMSL and had a fantastic experience with excellent teachers and education. I think for my graduate level courses I would definitely benefit from the face to face format. I have heard nothing but wonderful experiences from few people who have already graduated or are currently in the NP program. I think I have made my decision and know that I would get an excellent education at UMSL.

I got accepted into umsl and slu for fnp program starting fall '13. I am so confused as to which one to go with. I like umsl cost is much lower and kind of like face to face interaction but having to drive once a week for next 3 years with family schedule is so something I have to figure out. Slu the cost is big factor, but I have been told is more reputable than umsl, though both are very good. I am nervous on an entire online np program. Anyone out there who have or are currently going to either of these colleges give me their input, please!!! Any info appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

Hope you heard from them by now!

Thank you, congrats to you too:))

I got into the fnp program, so excited:)) You are right bluemonday, we should all be in the same track for first couple of years. Anyone else got in? Please post !

Curious to know if anyone has been accepted into UMSL FNP program for fall 2013!!!

Thank you so much for your replies. It seems like in most states you do get the license pretty fast. Here in missouri, like i said 6 weeks seems awfully long time.

Rocky, thanks for your reply, but i am confused are you talking about the unofficial results throu pearsonvue website? I wanted to know about the actual license with picture etc, which here in missouri i heard takes about 6 weeks. Has anyone got in say 2-3 weeks?

How long does take for actual license to come after getting unofficial results? I understand it may vary from state to state, I am in missouri, and if there is any way to get it sooner?

:balloons: :nuke: :monkeydance: :biggringi whoooooo hooooooooooooooo!!!!!! congratulations rn, knew without doubt you will pass, now you can relax.

Suzanne, I got my associates in nursing from here in US and passed nclex last week. I have started with the visa screen process and now in the process of finding lawyer. I have been hearing that the 50000 cap is almost getting exhausted. This is really concerning me because i think it takes 3-4 weeks to get official results and license and so by the time i start process will probably take good 1 month. So i had the foll questions: 1. What are my options if the quota expires.. 2. One lawyer said that i have to have the visa screen before i can start the paperwork , is that true? Bec then it would take even longer time. 3. How long does it take to get visa screen. They seem to be really slow. Started process 1 month ago and yet nothing seems to be really moving ahead. I am really scared since i am on h-4 visa and cannot even work now. My worst nightmare is after going throu everything and getting this far as getting my license, i will end up just sitting & waiting for all the paperwork to get throu, and meanwhile forget whatever i have learnt in school. Thank you

I got lot of easy questions in between,even though i still wasn't sure of the answers. Whenever i got those kind of questions, it was harder for me to concentrate, thinking this is not good, i am going down hill. There may be just 5 % of peop who felt they did good, but rest of us all have felt there is no way we could have passed. So i totally understand what you are going throu. Thats just the way nclex questions are. But again to emphasize majority of people pass inspite of feeling that way, and you will too. :wink2:

oops 3rd para text = test

I was outside since early morning today and didn't get chance to access my computer, but i knew you were testing today and prayed for you. What you are feeling, was exactly what i felt last week. For 48 hours post nclex i started realizing what all i got wrong and honestly felt like i must have got like 2 questions right . I was having nightmares about these questions, feeling nauseous, just horrible!!!!. For 2 days i kept going to pearson website and refreshing everytime hoping the results were there. After 48 hours finally i saw results were there and i was so anxious, never been this anxious in my life. I had to call my husband at work and he said he would come home since i didnt have the courage to look by myself. You know that I did not do that well with kaplan scores and you have studied way more than I did. If i could pass inspite of that, I know you will too. There is no way to describe the feeling after giving the text. It just seems hopeless, but thats how majority of people feel, yet majority of people pass inspite of that. So just hang in there and you will do fine. Will continue to pray for you and really try to stay busy for next 48 hours, dont go opening books, trying to figure out wht you missed. Good Luck!

Except for QT 2 i have never got more than 61 in the other QTs, Qbank ranged from 50s to 70s .... passed nclex last week with 75 questions. You are doing great if you are getting in the 60s. Good Luck!!
