  1. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't remember it being prohibitive, something like $200. However, I'd caution against doing it if possible. First, you'd lose the money. And if you feel you have to, remember that there is...

  2. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You know, I don't have any idea about that. I am one of the student co-reps and sit in on a lot of the graduate educational meetings where they have been talking about the application process, and I...

  3. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all....good luck with the wait after interviews. There's so many posts here, that I wasn't able to keep up with them, but I will say a few things about what the process might be like. I know that...

  4. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just a reminder: Many of my colleagues in my cohort (entrance 2011) received late interview notices, waitlist notices, etc.... and each are remarkable, conscientious soon-to-be-nurses. The process...

  5. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And update on the application process: I heard from key faculty today that they are still in the process of being able to review all applications. It seems that they have had a really big response to...

  6. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I tend agree with both of these posts. SU's program has improved, and I quite like and respect the new APNI program coordinator and Assistant Dean of graduate programs. There is an inherent problem...

  7. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, this might be the part where many start thinking "Oh, maybe an accelerated program isn't always excellent", so be forewarned. Hahaha The nursing lab is great, and we get to access it right...

  8. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, this is quarter number three for us. We started last summer. Clinicals have been every quarter -- we did a Gero rotation in the summer, OB last fall (got to be part of a great birth!), and now...

    No, luluj, I'm in the AGNP (Adult NP and Gero NP)

  10. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This quarter is going well so far. The snow week put us a bit behind for our clinicals/classes, but otherwise all is well. We are doing our Psych and Peds courses/clinicals this quarter and there...

  11. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi All, Best of luck in the upcoming weeks! I have no insight into the process, but I would echo that likely the process is a bit delayed because of the snow week. Hopefully you all will be hearing...

  12. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got my interview request through email, and it arrived on one of the last days of January -- I know that interview invites came no earlier than that last year. I remember there being very...

  13. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think you're alone in this...while most of the students are in their later 20s or early 30s, we have a handful of students in our cohort (2011) who are in their 40s or older. Many people in...

  14. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It wasn't so much that I lost interest in psych (I plan on staying involved in psych), but more that when I was working in outpatient mental health as a social worker, I found that a lot of my...

  15. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think that the admissions faculty look for a strong aptitude in all their applicants to be advanced practice nurses. Strong clinical experience is one way to show that, grades might be another....

  16. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know that MSW530 and I are among 3-4 people in the cohort who have our MSWs. Several others have masters degrees in psychology, counseling, and perhaps teaching as well. Most, however, do not have...

  17. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    flaneur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all! I'm also in the 2011 cohort along with angeljs12000, junipers, and MSW530 (MSW and I are in group projects together all the time). I think I know who angeljs12000 and junipers are...haha. I...

  18. Accelerated MS VCU 2011

    flaneur posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Anyone else out there applied for the Accelerated MS (Nurse Practitioner) program at VCU for Spring 2011? Just thought I'd start a discussion for anyone who has applied and wants to talk about

  19. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    flaneur posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    I've been a reader of these message boards for some time and thought I'd finally start participating. I didn't see a thread for the SU APNI 2011 application process, so I thought that as the deadline...

  20. Irritated by changes to ANP/GNP certification

    flaneur replied to SC ANP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a upcoming student of a AGNP combo program, as a direct-entry MSN student. I know that direct-entry programs are a bit controversial, but I'll charge forward anyway :-) So, apologies if I get...

  21. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    flaneur replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    wooohooo!

  22. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    flaneur replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    And just to throw some more info out there: the Facebook group for the APNI '11 cohort has around 25 members who have accepted or are planning to accept. This is by no means a reliable way to gauge...

  23. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    flaneur replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm glad that it was a good experience at Seattle for you, mef, and not just "better than Vandy". :-) I also got a quick, impromptu tour of the lab while I was in Seattlw for the interview and I loved...

  24. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    flaneur replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    I hope the rest of the big envelopes make it to you all soon! And (not that this will surprise anyone), because I'm a geek and excited...and am procrastinating on getting some work done, I got a...

  25. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    flaneur replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    I couldn't agree more! Congrats to you too, MSW! I can't
