Tamarcita, I am currently in the AEM UP program (just finished up the pre-licensure classes and am about to take the NCLEX). I'm happy to share about the experience with you anytime, and give you some...
I am a senior nursing student and in the next few weeks we'll be putting in our requests for our final semester practicum. We'll have a preceptor and work 180 hours with our preceptor in a particular...

Hi Stella, Just FYI, I'll definitely be at Portland next year (UCSF turned me down) so let me know how things end up going. :) On that note, if any current AEM UP-ers happen to come across this...
Last I heard Tippy had not heard yay or nay. So there may be hope for you yet. :) But from the sounds of it, he wouldn't interview even if he was invited with this new job. And if it actually was...
Congrats on your interview Newtonian...and thank you for the compliment. Who knows, maybe UCSF was reading my blog and thought "We'll show her!" But I somehow doubt it... I didn't get an e-mail...
Well bah humbug. No interview for me. All is well though, I'll be extremely happy up at the University of Portland. :) Good luck to those who did get interviews and keep on truckin' to those who...
Well I just checked the mailbox and the mail is here but it didn't include a certain letter. :) 'Guess it'll be Christmas Eve? Good luck to everyone who may be hearing
Sorry to hear, LoveToTravel. I've heard from so many people who have reapplied and still no luck. I wish you the best with the other schools... 'Wonder if the mail has made its way down to southern...
I understand your dilemma, Tippy. Maybe it will all pan out like Newtonian predicts and you end up at UCSF anyway but even if it doesn't, thanks for supporting the group as a whole! 'Sounds like...
Hi fnp4me, I too have been checking out DNP options and had the same concern but I think it depends on the individual program. The University of Washington's DNP requires either a BSN or an MSN but...
Thanks for the well wishes, y'all. :) I'm recovering quite well thanks to the wonders of laparoscopic surgery. Went under at 4 yesterday afternoon, out of recovery by 6:15 and home by 8 that...
If perchance a miracle occurs and letters do begin to arrive tomorrow, will someone please send a carrier pigeon my way? :) I am scheduled for surgery in the afternoon and will be sans computer and...
I do agree that the faculty members I spoke with were more than helpful - I was having trouble figuring out which specialty to choose given my goals and they really did answer all of my questions...
I have to say I'm with TippyToo on this one. While I am sympathetic to the inevitable time crunch their office is under (having volunteered in admissions for 4 years in undergrad), part of your job...

Don't worry too much :) - I'm sure you'll hear something very soon. You can always call Stacey Boatright - she's incredibly helpful. Did you go down to Portland for an interview or did you do yours...

Hi Stella, Good to see another AEM UP applicant on here! :) I got my acceptance letter just this week so you should hear shortly...where do you live? Keep me posted - I'd love to chat with another...
I know exactly what you mean, fibergirl. At least we know not to take it personally if that interview invitation doesn't come. :) There are some amazing people on this board who got turned away...
I wish! I'm almost there though. You're right - getting ready for the holidays is at least a good distraction from the anxiety. That and a Pathophysiology final exam on Thursday. :) I do have good...
Just FYI... I looked back at threads from the past two years to get an idea of when people started getting their interview letters. In 2005, the first post about hearing anything was on Dec. 16th. In...
