    Hey, everyone! I just got off the phone with Liza. Over the past several days I've been deliberating between the ELMS-FNP and the ABSN program (I was lucky enough to get admitted to both of them)....

  3. CSUs Nursing Programs Closed to Spring 2010 Entrants

    jd2nurse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello fellow pre-nursing students. If, like me, you were hoping to enter Sac State's BSN program beginning Spring 2010, we are going to have to switch to Plan B. New students will not be admitted...

    Congrats, nurseleader! Look forward to starting nurse practitioner school with you in January!

    Hi Stephanie! Sounds like you definitely have a great chance of joining us in Jan. Best of luck to you! I accepted my offer as I think did Will. I thought about trying for another school that...

    Looks like you're pretty close to the top of the list. That's GREAT! I hope you make it all the way up and that we're classmates come January.

    Hey Will- I went to an orientation/information session prior to the interviews several months ago and a couple of the students gave a few of us a quick tour. I'm sure the Sac campus facilities are...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was interviewed in early August and was lucky enough to be offered early admission (as was WillMak). My understanding, however, is that the admission decisions for the core group of students will...

    By the way, folks, if you're interested in jobs offering loan repayment, check out the National Health Service Corps: http://nhsc.hrsa.gov/loanrepayment/ I got a message from an FNP in a Boston...

    OMIGOD, you guys! You HAVE to take a look at this thread about ELMSN programs: https://allnurses.com/nursing-blogs/entry-into-practice-419939-page2.html#post3845077 The posts are getting really...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey guys. I'll bet Kellye77 has a group interview because of the long time slot (it's equivalent to ours) and Nursingmomma has an individual one. Makes total sense. If you're really curious, you...

    Check this out, guys: Re: Entry into Practice: Direct Entry MSN Programs I am a recent graduate of a direct entry MSN program and I feel that I was adequately prepared to be a novice FNP upon...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    By the way, another point I forgot to mention is that, when I job-shadowed some of the FNPs at UCD, I learned that two of the Trauma FNPs came from SMU's ELMS program. So, at least they found a job....

    Here's one on ABSN Programs as well! https://allnurses.com/nursing-blogs/accelerated-bsn-programs-418227.html It's interesting that the post seems to regard ABSN programs much more favorably than...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's great! I, too, have figured that if I get any wild ideas about a better way to go before (or maybe even after) January, that I can always jump ship. $350 isn't chicken feed, but giving it up...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, one of the NPs I talked to, who works in the Sutter General ER, said that after she got her MSN she worked for 4 years as an ER nurse before becoming an NP. I think that's another advantage of...

    Happy to, Will. Several reasons. I am 43 and so I want to get my degree done rather than wait for a cheaper route to open up. My wife and I are planning to have kids soon, and moving out of Sac to...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Welcome to the discussion, Kellye! My understanding is that there is no interview for the ABSN. I don't know how/when they let you know. (Oct?) As for the ELMSN, there have been a few rounds of...

    Lots of stuff to comment on, let me see: First, thanks for the good wishes re: being accepted already. I'm so happy and relieved that I'm there. :) I wish all of you who are still waiting for news...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks, 2bgr8! I'm definitely excited about SMU, particularly now that Sac State has evaporated. I'm really torn, though, on whether to choose ABSN or ELMSN-FNP. I feel like things have a way of...

    jd2nurse replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I didn't detect any interest in whether you'd applied to other schools. I don't know if the 1-on-1 version you get will be any different, but I can't imagine it would be. If anything, I think there...
