For UIC's program you have to pick a specialty area upon application. If you read the FAQ's it also says that the program typically spans from 3.5-5.5 years. After the first 15 months you are eligible to sit for the NCLEX, but I believe the remaining portion is mostly only available part time depending on the specialty. I somewhat forget because I stopped looking into this program, but it's all on their website.

Congrats! Well maybe the best thing to do now is try to get as much info as you can before you choose.

I don't really know either, but you may be able to find a way to talk to students or ask the school about job placement afterwards. I haven't made my final decision yet, but DePaul was the only program I applied to. Has anyone applied to both?

No, I meant she only went to DePaul. Since Rush appears to be a more selective program it may be the better one.

They both are the same amount of time, but quality wise I can't be sure. I've been able to find more past students talking about the MENP program, but Rush's has not been around as long. I know one person who has completed the MENP and is now a FNP, but besides that I don't know much besides what other students on here have said.

I'm went to UIC for the last 2 years of my undergrad and commuted downtown (not fun), but I'm currently in Schaumburg so it should be closer this time around. Has anyone filled out their intent to enroll or are you all waiting for the letter?

Did you get the actual letter yet, because I have only received the email. The cost of the program scares me a bit, but I'm pretty sure I will enroll and just hope for the best.. =) Where did you complete your undergrad at?

I have also received mine! Have you made a decision yet?

To all of you who are currently in or have completed the MENP program would you mind sharing your opinion of the program?

Has anyone applied to or been accepted to DePaul's MENP program for the winter 2012 cohort?

I haven't gotten a letter, they just emailed me. Did they actually say you were accepted for the winter or that they would review your application again for the winter? My email basically said that because I have so many prerequisites in progress (3 out of the 4 :/) they cannot make a decision on my application for the fall, so they will review my application for the winter term

Someone from admissions emailed me today. They said my application is being deferred until the Winter term due to my lack of prerequisites. So I guess it's good that it isn't a flat out no, but still not what I was hoping to hear. =/

Has anyone else not received their letter yet?

Yeah, I'm not sure but hopefully they email me back Monday. All I know is they couldn't have sent my letter Tuesday, because it is still not here.

I know that the application status tab doesn't say anything about their decision, but when I looked at it today it said the term was Winter 2011-2012. I applied for the Fall semester, so I'm not sure if that means they aren't looking at it until the winter..=/ I emailed someone so hopefully they get back to me soon about it.
