  12. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The closed specialties just means that those specialties are no longer taking applications, but some still are with a due date of June 1st. I guess it has to do with how many applications they had...

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ughh wait is killing me. Called the student services and I guess they havent recieved much as far as who is admitted and it really depends on the specialty. KelsRN do you still work at

    Hi Nessleek, Good luck on the application! I think WHNP is less impacted so you should have a great chance to get in. UCSF is my dream school being from the bay

    jojonavy replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Starting this thread for UCSF's MSN program for 2013. The application period just opened up on July 19th. I'm applying for AGNP program. I was accepted to the 2012 Long Beach State AGNP program but...

  18. 2013 UCSF MSN / AGNP Application

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Why are you pitting me against the whole program? I think I have some valid points. I say it's a little belittling, because I keep thinking about the guy who had all those qualifications and didn't...

  19. 2013 UCSF MSN / AGNP Application

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've worked with direct entry nurses and it's been a mixed bag. One I know is an NP now, and I wouldn't let her any where close of caring for my family. Nursing is hard, and complex profession. It...

  20. 2013 UCSF MSN / AGNP Application

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

  22. 2013 UCSF MSN / AGNP Application

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have to disagree, Pachinko's qualifications far exceed someone that haven't even started nursing school. 4.0 in nursing school, not prereqs. There's a glaring difference in tuition 55k vs 22K....

  23. 2013 UCSF MSN / AGNP Application

    jojonavy replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I came up with a theory on why its more difficult for experienced nurses to get in. I think its economics. The school is charging 55K per year for MEPN vs 22k for the regular MS programs. The PHD...
