The most important thing, as with any school is to have a clear picture of how you see yourself as a future provider. Get clinical experience that is as hands on as you can find. If u have an area of interest that you'd like to pursue professionally,...

Hello Ladies and Gents, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for those that are going to be in the Oakland FNP 2010 cohort. It has been so useful to have a dialogue about the process so far, that I thought we could help eachother throu...

That is awesome! I will join now. :)

Hi guys, General responses... I agree, I think that each department is making their own decisions, so the timeline is different. Although school starts on the same date, so you'll have to find out at some point. Accepted students have until April 15t...

Try not to go bonkers. I've been doing that with another program for the last month. It doesn't help your sanity at all. Stay positive, and harass the admissions people until you get your answer. Best of luck!

Hi everyone. I started a new thread "Samuel Merritt ELMSN - FNP Oakland 2010 Cohort". I thought it would be great to have a place to get to know eachother and to share our process. I've found this thread to be very informative and helpful through th...

I'm sorry. I totally understand. I wish they didn't handle things so last minute. Good luck to you. Just try to put it out of your mind. Assume that you won't hear anything until after April 15th. It might give you some calm till then.

I've officially decided to go to Samuel Merritt. So I will see you guys in the fall! We're looking at moving to Walnut Creek near bart. Anyone else have plans in the works?

Well, nothing at all here. I have officially decided that I am going to Samuel Merritt. For those of you that are going to Seattle and still aspire to go, it is a beautiful campus and lab. It will be a great option if you take it. Thank you for all t...

Abbie, that's sweet of you, but I think I'm going to stick with the program I'm already accepted to. I will keep you all posted of any info I get though.

I'm sorry qwerty. What other programs did you apply to?

Well, Abbie, it looks like you're at the top of the waitlist. I did not get any emails or letters yet. That's great Abbie. I hope it works out for you. Quadruple-double, I haven't seen any changes on the admission status website either. Good luck to ...

That would be nice! I guess I need to start my scholarship hunt. :)

I finished all my prereqs...with a 4.0...and I'm waitlisted. I can't believe that they're not giving any information. That's just unfair. People need to make decisions about what direction to go in their lives. I assume that the letters that will eve...

Hi there. Who was it that you spoke to that gave you the waitlist info? I'm echoing the same questions, but did they give you an idea of how many were on the waitlist (I'm waitlisted also)? If you don't mind, could you tell us what number you were? (...

Hi guys, I didn't receive anything from SU today either. I guess the information was not so accurate. Hopefully we'll hear soon.

I'm sorry, Meredith. But, it sounds like you're ok with it. Good luck with the other schools! Have you heard anything yet?

Congratulations John! Wow, that's a pressure cooker. It's nice to know though, isn't it? Will, lol you're funny. Andrea, I looked into the shuttle and it's kind of awesome. They'll pick up from MacArthur bart and take you directly to the school for ...

I also have health care experience and have been volunteering in a hospital clinic for the last year. I think it helps, but it's not an end all be all. If you don't get into Seattle U you should apply to UCSF, they love those that do work abroad. I i...

Meredith. Yes, check that link. We've been discussing the process for awhile now. The long and short of it is that everyone should know their status by next week.

Thanks for the info Andrea. I'm going to look into that!

hollownurse, did you call? I figure we'll know after 2 weeks because that is how long people have to respond. However, I am accepting my admission to another program but still haven't made my decision. I imagine other people are responding in similar...

Thanks for the encouragement! It's true though. Regardless of the program I will be an NP, so that's pretty fantastic. They didn't give me any more details. I posted everything that I was told. She couldn't tell me if there was a number associated wi...

Hey everyone. Any news yet? I just heard that I was waitlisted for Seattle U, so I'm sending my deposit for Samuel Merritt. Will, we may be classmates afterall. :) It looks like the campus is a 15 minutes walk from the MacArthur bart station, so that...

Thanks guys. It feels like a prolonged waiting process. lol Well, I'll give them a week or so, see who posts their statuses..then start calling again. We'll see how this works.
