Hi! I'm interested to know if NP pay at all NHSC sites is low? I just got an offer for 74k but that seems pretty low for this NE area of the country. I feel like they are using the NHSC incentive to make up for it, though of course you still have to ...

I just passed the ANCC FNP boards!! I used several sources that I thought others here may find useful to know about. 1. Leik FNP Certification Intensive Review- Fast Facts and Practice Questions- My personal favorite. Has a nice review of everythin...

I don't have a code but do have one for sale! It's 2011 but I'm pretty sure all the info is the same. I just used it to pass ANCC!

I just passed the ANCC FNP boards!! I used several sources that I thought others here may find useful to know about. I am willing to sell any of them so PM me if interested! 1. Leik FNP Certification Intensive Review- Fast Facts and Practice Question...

I recently passed too!! For me, the most surprising thing was the number of alternate type of test questions- I had several pictures, drag and drop ordering and select all that apply. The good thing about the test is that for the select all that appl...

They also usually offer GradPlus loans for graduate students but at a little higher amount than the Stafford loans. This should make up the difference between the Stafford and cost of attendance, which should include living expenses. So while it is m...

Hey Wendy- What did you end up deciding to do? I am in a similar situation this year and am trying to figure out if I should start another program or continue waiting. I am told that if I dont get in for the fall, my application will be reviewed agai...

There are several HRSA programs and I'm not sure which one you are referring to here but the HRSA NHSC loan repayment program (for primary care providers) does not require you to have a EFC of 0. There is also a NHSC scholarship program which I have ...

Oh ok. Well I don't mind sharing my status on here- I just didn't want to make you if you didn't wanna. I also contacted them. Apparently we should be receiving a package soon outlining our options and next steps. So I guess I will stay tuned for tha...

Exactly! it was fast and fair

True. Well we felt the same way. So that's more confirmation that yours wasn't bad! There def wasn't a lot of time for conversation. Just question, answer, next question, answer lol. I'm used to interviews that have more of a free flowing dialogue. ...

Why do you feel that way? I went the second week. I don't feel like it went completely bad but if you had the same interviewers as I, I remember feeling a little unsure afterwards. I just didn't get much feedback/conversation during the interview th...

I don't think she applied to the FNP program. But you did and have an interview right? I take it you're still waiting to hear back. Me too. I was never given an exact time as to when we would hear back but interviews ended almost 2 weeks ago so I'm t...

Were you in the first or second round of FNP decisions? Also at what point in the review process were you contacted for an interview?

Kool. Thanks!

Thanks for all the helpful information!! Just one more question- an interview is definitely required right? I'm thinking its a no go for me this round because 2nd round application review ends this week and I haven't been contacted for an interview.

Congrats!!! :yeah:That's very exciting!! What department did you apply for?

Praise the Lord for He is good!!! I'm sooooo very excited for you. You should be so proud of yourself for never giving up!! Keep this strategy throughout all of life!!

Can you tell me exactly what you do in informatics? I've considered it for somewhere down the road- after I accomplish a few other things. NICU- specifically at a children's/surgical hospital. I LOVE the full term kiddos with needs and prefer them ov...

Sorry to keep posting back to back responses but I don't think any of us should be so hard on ourselves. From what I've heard a lot of the FNP programs, especially in this area, have received soooo many applications this year. One of the schools wher...

May I ask where else you have applied thats still accepting for the fall? I know CUA is but they're so expensive!!!

Oh wow. So the interviews are new. I don't know any current students but the FNP director filled me in on that part at one of the program info sessions. They also said they were looking to take less students than last years class. Eeek! @wicomico- Ha...

Hmmm well so much for that theory. You're well educated and clearly qualified!!

It's probably best to hear it from someone on the admissions committee or who is in the program (which I'm clearly neither lol) but I think they would also like to see some leadership experience. If you are able to go to one of the FNP information se...

Or if you still want to do a grad program look into a master's in public health- it'll open up lots of career pathways
