Hello friends! I am having a bit of a predicament. I have recently graduated from a NP program but am having a difficult time finding a job (not a surprise I am hearing). I am now trying to work as an RN in my area of specialty but because I have a masters/NP license, I really don't know how to present myself? Any ideas? Will they think that I am not 100% invested because I will just up and leave when I get a NP job? I don't want them to think that my interview is a waste of their time and I would solidly work as a RN for at least a year until I find a NP job but how to make that not sound horrible? Thanks in advance for your help and advice :-)

Hey NursePrac, That is wonderful you are applying! So I am not 100% sure the mammalian class will count unless it had a really strong focus on humans. Does it have a lab? If I were you, I would contact Ann Koepke (http://www.seattleu.edu/nursing/inner.aspx?id=15600), she is in charge of the pre-licensure RN year and would probably be best at evaluating your class. Good luck to you!

Hello, Thanks for your advice, I finally called and spoke with a grad admissions woman. She said I have been waitlisted...sigh. She couldn't tell me any other information about my position or anything or even if I am being considered for FNP for CNM. It is super frustrating...Anyway at least I have some info...Thanks for all of your support. Thanks, Qwerty

Hello, I have tried calling a couple of times but haven't been able to get through to actually speak to anyone. When people have called, who were they calling and would they mind lending a phone number? Thanks! Take care Qwerty

Hey all, I am pretty sure since I haven't heard anything, that Ive been rejected I am pretty bummed...did anyone get any mail mail last week or at all? It is frustrating...Anyway hope you are all well. Take care qwerty

Hey guys, I interviewed the 9th and still nothing. I feel like I've been rejected? I interviewed for FNP originally but I think I am being considered for CNM...again not 100% sure. My fingers are crossed though. Is anyone here for CNM and if so have you heard anything? Good luck everyone:) Take care qwerty

Hello, I was just wondering, for the people who have been accepted and have received either an email or an envelope, what track are accepted for? Thanks:) Still nothing for me in the mail/email.... Take care qwerty

HI JSBH, Thanks for your post, all of this is just nerve racking.. lol. I am waitlisted in two programs at UW, but this year is so big that there has been such little movement on the UW waitlist. I kind of feel like SU is my last hope which is sad...I guess there is always next year if this one doesn't work out. Anyway, Ill let you guys know soon I guess.... Thanks;) qwerty

Hey everyone, Sigh...my heart hurts. I have not gotten anything yet either(mail or email...well mail I won't know until after work). Hopefully the emails were personalized and it is just taking lots of time to email them;) Anyway if more people get this email, can you post? Thanks! Take care, QWERTY

Did anyone else get an email?

Hey everyone, Well...this is exciting. I have been away for a couple of days and reading all these posts and knowing that the decisions are coming out this week...I am a tad nervous. Guess I will be stalking the mailman today and tomorrow. Thanks for the info though:) Good luck everyone! Take care Qwerty

Thanks for the summary above! Also did anyone else apply for the midwife track?

Amen to that! I need that as well...I call my roommate every day around 4 pm for her to check the mail, hehe, it is making me a little bit nutty:)

Hey Everyone, Thanks for all of the posts, it is helpful/scary:) I interviewed a couple of weeks ago originally for the FNP track but when I was there, I met with a woman from the midwife track because I for the most part wrote my personal statement about women's health concerns. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has heard from the Midwife track yet? I live in California and have been anxiously checking the mail and every time I read the posts about acceptances, although I am so excited for everyone, my heart drops a little bit. Sigh. Anyway, let me know when you guys hear more. Thanks! Take care QWERTY

Hello all:) Hope everyone is doing well. I had an interview last week for the FNP/Midwifery track. Just wondering if anyone knows when we are supposed to start hearing back? I have been anxiously checking the mailbox the last couple of days...it's rather pathetic :-( Anyway, good luck to everyone!
