Are you attending UCF or another school for your NP?

The final decision was made this month-- they took 52 students to FNP and ANP tracks out of 226 applicants.

I have looked at the website--they only have general information. Have you heard anything about how many students they are admitting? When they will be notified? etc.

I have heard about the recomendation for a DPN as entry level to practice (there is a sticky thread under specialty then advance practice)-- I was wondering about the University of Central Florida's MSN programs. Thanks

Has anyone heard about admission for fall 2009 for UCF's MSN programs? I am interested in the MSN family nurse practioner program. Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Is anyone trying to get into UCF's MSN program(s) for Fall 2009?

I am a hospital CM/UR/DC planner-- We have 3 local SNFs that all provide very similar services. We refer to 2 of the 3 on a very regular basis. However, with the third one we consistnely have problems. I tried to "spread" my less than desirable patients between the three facilities. This third facility would accept these patients then on discharge would "change their mind" leaving us to scramble for a discharge plan--sometimes they would do this on insurance patients as well. I now will mention this facility when a patient needs SNF, but do not make a referal to them, unless the patient asks for this facility by name. In addition the inconvience this has caused my department, this facility started accepting post-acute patients from other facilities that in my opinion they cannot care for-- so they send them to the nearest hospital (where I work). Then on dc they will not accept patient back---requiring us to find another facility. I do not know what problems you have had with this hospital-- but perhaps you need to speak w/ a dc planner that can let you know some of the history. Good luck
