danapjmsn, I think I will talk to the program advisor to ask about MSN to post master NP option. I would need to know after my MSN, how long will take me to get the NP certificate.

Hi danapjmsn, First, congrats to your acceptance of NP program!. Great job! I've been feeling so miserable recently. When all the NP program I applied told me "Sorry, we have no way to consider GPA less than 3.0....". I felt I was in a dark tunnel with no way out no matter how hard I would try. As I mentioned, I have many years work experience and super GRE, but they just simple wouldn't take a glance.... How many credit hours do you need to take for ANP/GNPpost masters certificate? How many credit hours have you been waived for as compared with the traditional NP program? I will definitely consider this route. Thank you so much for your input!

canchaser, I am in suburban area.

thank you very much! again, appreciated your reply!

Well, it's ashamed to admit that my undergraduate GPA was 2.5......That was 10years ago! That was a long story I do not even want to explain why....But, it is what it is, I cannot do anything about it no matter how much I regret it right now... I've been a RN for more than 10years. I've been a good nurse and love what I do. I really want to go back to school to pursue my dream of being a FNP. I hesitated for many years because I did not have any confidence due to the ugly GPA. Now, finally, I decided that I cannot wait and surrender to my "fate" any more, I did my GRE very carefully and got a super score. I applied couple of schools...I was denied!!! The reason?... GPA! But I could not go back 10years and change anything in the paper! I am frustrated, I'm in despair.... Is the door of NP completely shut down for me? Should I really have to give up to my fate? Anything, is there anything I can do? Please help!

Thank you, Canchaser! I will put those in my thoughts!

Thank you guys! Any more inputs? I am working on the career goals. It would be wounderful if I could just find a sample essay about career goals to get some ideas.

Hi all, I've been a RN for more than 10years. I am apllying FNP. I indeed need some help with 1) a personal statement 2) career goal essay...... I have no idea where to start:crying2: Can anybody please shed some light on this? Could anybody even can PM me a copy of those so that I will have some ideas? Please!!! I will need these two by tomorrow night..... Thanks a million!

Thanks Missvictoriat. I applied to TWU.

Thank you MERCEDES674 for your reply. I was rejected by the school I applied, am hoping that they will send out a waiting list to me.

Hi,missvictoriat, I applied to TWU as well but I was rejected. My GRE is super but I think My GPA turned me away. Sad.....not sure what to do at this time.....I live in Lewisville as well.

It seems like that Fall 2011 admission has been finilized in many schools so far. For those applicants who receive multiple offers, they will eventually reject some of their offers. I am just wondering how the schools are going to replace those slots? Do they send out a waiting list to certain number of applicans at the same time they send acceptance letters to the selected ones?

Congrats, missvictoriat! Would you share some info of your credential (e.g. GPA/GRE, years of experience) please if you don't mind? Thanks!
