At my previous school, I was in the NP program. I was able to transfer to USD into the MSN program for clinical nurse leader. I know that from there, I can apply to USD's NP program but not transfer in. I don't have any degree in nursing, that's t...

I would also like to know about SDSU's MSN program and reputation! I am about to start at USD but already looking to transfer because the tuition is horrendous... but I already really love the staff and class setup and clinical rotations, so I might...

I am a graduate of a GEP program, probably the same one as the OP. I definitely feel that such programs should all be done away with altogether. Obviously this is all in hindsight. I did my research before starting the program, heck my career befo...

I am also considering joining the Navy as a nurse. My husband is enlisted in the Navy right now though, so I do worry about us being deployed at the same time. We have a 7 year old daughter and plan to try for another baby within the next year or s...

Hi everyone, I am in a graduate entry program in IL, completing my last semester of the pre-licensure portion. I am eligible to take the NCLEX this summer. I think my plan is to take the NCLEX and get licensed in IL, and then apply for endorsement ...

FINALLY spoke with CA BRN, and the verdict is that I CAN get licensed in CA as a non-degree RN. I can take the NCLEX here in IL or CA, but the person told me that CA is the only state that will take a non-degree RN.

I guess I won't know until Monday or Tuesday or whenever. I am definitely holding out hope. I have been in talks with University of San Diego and may be able to finish my Masters there, so it's not like I won't be in a CA program. Of course to get...

True! It would just be nice to know. It's hard not knowing when I'm literally trying to plan my life for the next 6 months. Someone in my class was told by the CO board of nursing that they will not allow her to get licensed there, because of the n...

This is making me nervous.. If only someone would answer the phones at the CA board of nursing!

I just downloaded the application, and it does have a box to check for type of nursing program: Other. It doesn't say anything about non-degree or non-graduate, so I wonder what the UCSF students do when they apply. CA board of nursing is closed fo...

Hi all! I'm in a graduate entry program and for my last semester before taking the NCLEX, I've been placed on a bone marrow/stem cell transplant unit. So far I know I will be working with patients that have conditions such as leukemia, multiple mye...

Thanks for the feedback! Lots of helpful info. I wasn't looking to be on an oncology floor, I was placed there. I am on an FNP track. Will I be seeing children as well? I am finishing up my peds rotation right now and cared for a 2yo with leukem...

I just applied to the GEP at UIC, for Family NP. I'm so nervous! I guess applicants find out by the end of March if they will be invited for interviews or not, so I'm crossing my fingers. Is anyone else in the boat with me? I'm also kind of just c...

I took the GRE's in March. I was never confident in math, but always did ok as long as I practiced it consistently. Because of my full time work schedule, while finishing pre-reqs, while practically being a single mom b/c my hubby was away in Iraq,...

Shoosta, feel free to send me a message. I am in the Family NP program also! I am from the Chicago area, so if you need any helpful advice I would be happy to help. Congrats! PS- Brace yourself for the COLD!

I hope something opens up for you. Do they tell you what number you are on the list, or they just tell you that you are on the waitlist? Crossing my fingers for you.

Got the email today. I was accepted!!! I want to tell everyone, but am waiting for my husband to call, as he's in Iraq right now. I really could cry right now! Good luck to everyone and I am hoping to hear who else gets accepted around here :)

Just did my interview today and I think it went well. It's so hard to tell with interviews! And I HATE waiting... Anyways, don't be nervous (easier said than done, but really! Don't be nervous!). It is a pretty casual and un-intimidating experie...

Anybody have interviews yet? how did they go? I'm just curious! Mine is not until the 16th!

GOOD LUCK!!!! Let us know how it goes

We are applying to different programs, so I would not be worried about info sessions. I am going to wear a suit, but I cannot decide... pant suit or skirt suit? And I don't want to wear black, which would be the pant suit. So I guess I kinda decide...

I am interviewing for Family NP on April 16th. The email says 1:00-3:30, but I think the person meant to say 2:30 because the interview time was allotted as follows: Two 30-minute information sessions; one information session on the GEP program and...

I also have an interview for UIC's GEP. What specialty are you applying to? I am applying to FNP. I am also nervous!

Congrats to you too. What specialty? Good luck!

Family NP is April 16. When is yours? Best of luck! I'm so nervous. What kind of questions do you think they're going to ask?
