I have heard that it is difficult to transition from an experienced RN to a provider role (NP). I also think you'd have to really do some soul searching as the programs are very different. With UCSF you have already chosen your specialty. Do you feel confident about that specialty and wanting to be a provider in that specialty? Or, would you rather do UCLA work as an RN a while and explore where your passions lie before specializing? Yes there will be a huge learning curve when transitioning to practice as APRN but I believe there is a going to be a huge learning curve regardless. So, for me, I would think about what role I ultimately wanted to do. HTH! Congrats either way!

Can’t wait to meet you all as well!

I just accepted my offer for the PMHNP track. I’m overjoyed!!! To anyone who didn’t get in, if this is your passion definitely ask for feedback and try again.

So psych maybe won't get released tonight ? LOL

Nothing yet, hoping today is the day!

I cant wait for the interview and results! Nervous and excited while preparing...

My email came at 332 for psych NP specialty.

I got an interview invite as well

I was just emailed stating my application is complete and to disregard.

I got the email too and everything has been submitted.

Mail

I ordered mine first week of July.

Yes I was notified via email that my application was complete and in review.

I wrote my responses paragraph style, put the letter grade A, B etc (they have our transcripts), and post grad plans about post mepn.

Unfortunately my application did not work out. They told me at the last minute I needed to add colleges and transcripts even if I received no degree and did not take prereqs there. One of the colleges has since closed so I ran out of time. Best of luck to you all!

Hello everyone, I’m applying to this program as well as UCSF. I wish December-March will hurry up and get here, but I know it’s in the universe’s hands now. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! I’m applying to the PMHNP specialty as well. This is my first time applying. I wish everyone good luck!

Very clever ya'll. From askholes to TP.

Sorry to hear that, but don't give up. I have heard of people applying multiple times and getting in on their 2nd or 3rd try. If you were invited to interview it sounds like your overall application stellar! Sometimes they just don't have the spots. How do you feel the interview went?

Hi everyone. I'm going to be graduating with my degree in marriage and family therapy in six months. I'm starting to consider becoming an RN because of the high pay let's be honest. I worked as a medical assistant for 9 months almost 7 years ago and was told that I had great bedside manner LOL. I would have went for nursing earlier but I figured I couldn't handle the bed pans. However, two kids later I can definitely hack the bed pans LOL. So now I'm going to be graduating with this wonderful mft degree and I am working as a counselor with emotionally disturbed kids right now so I'm wondering how can I parlay this experience into making me the best candidate I can be from my local RN program? From what I read they require applicants to have a minimum of 400 hours of healthcare experience. Do you think that my counseling experience is going to count? Or can I count my medical assisting experience from 7 years ago? I did shots and took vitals and prepped them to see the doctors and nurses if that helps. If anyone has any other related advice about therapists going into nursing I would love to hear it thank you.

Thank u :)

Id like bsn upfront since it will be 4 semesters for me either way. But iim going to just apply everywhere n see what happens.

Thanks i truly dont prefer accounting. Im in northern ca and the state school bsn programs are so competitive my measly cumulative 3.0 gpa wont stack up. Im afraid i wont get in to the lottery adn programs around here but i know theres only one way to find out. Im thinking about trying samuel merrit but its so expensive im not sure ill even be able to get enough loans to cover tuition I applied to start at cal state east bay this january for prereqs, which is my first choice bsn school. Im trying to decide if i should still do take my prereqs there or at my local community college which will save me money and commute time. Any thoughts? Thanks for the replies so far, i didnt mean to come off snapy if i did. Ive been thinking this subject to death. I really want to be a nurse but it seems almost impossible.
