I applied for the PNP/DNP program at University of Missouri (columbia). I got the call today for an interview!! I'm excited but worried. I know its not a gaurantee of acceptance, but what do you think the chances are of going through an interview and...

my BFF did B then C and she did fine. on top of that she moved in the middle of work, school, and 8 months pregnant. she is now working on her DNP and has baby #2, she said that doing it while the baby is a newborn is much easier, she works on school...

would it be super inappropriate to contact the SON admin assistant to see when they anticipate sending letters? i would just like to have an idea so that i dont almost vomit every time i check the mail. UGH!!!!

this wait is KILLING me!!!!! i have no clue how many people they interviewed, but now im starting to think it was a lot if its taking 3 weeks for a decision. and the more time that passes, the more i pick apart my app and interview and feeling like i...

this wait is KILLING ME!!! they said two-three weeks before letters would be sent out. im hoping they were over estimating. i wish they would just send out a rejection letter if thats what its going to be! they have to know right away if youre out ri...

bkennedy~ i wouldnt worry about the essay length. one school i applied to wanted a 5-6 page SINGLE SPACED essay, others wanted a 500 word essay....its just all in what they ask for.

thanks :) my interview was friday. i did have some "typical" questions and answers written out. the interview was via skype and i had the notes open in another window lol. i felt like the interview went well, but im still not optimistic. we'll see. h...
Am I stressing too much about my PNP/DNP interview tomorrow. I think I'm prepared, but afraid I will loose my train of thought because I'm so nervous and come across as a bumbling idiot! I know the interview is important, but am I putting too much pr...

my gpa is very similar also....3.3 overall, 3.7 nursing. i interviewed with U of Missouri last friday. i initially felt very good about the interview. but as the days pass, waiting for "the letter" i feel more and more pessimistic. i had a bangin' es...

I just finished up with my interview. I felt very prepared and felt like I answered all of the questions with pretty good responses. But, I'm just worried I didn't say anything that would make me stand out over the other applicants. That was actually...
I'm kind of worried about my references. I'm applying to Mizzou. I graduated almost 10 years ago with my BSN and the instructors who would have remembered me are no longer at the school i graduated from. I was able to track down one, and she is my on...

THey must have been ok, got me thru the first round and I interview tomorrow. I had 1 PhD former instructor from 12 years ago, a masters level nurse manager, and the HR director who has a masters in social work. They asked for 3 doctorate or masters ...

excellent questions! thanks!!!! not planning on teaching....for now anyways. just getting the DNP because of the new requirements. i would probably have gone for a DNP anyways though to further my career and open up news doors past being a PNP.
I got the call today from University of Missouri (columbia) for an interview for the PNP/DNP program!!! YAY!!! Just wondering what the odds are of getting an interview and actually being admitted. I know its definitely not a guarantee, but it has to ...

Wish I could :/ it's not financially possible to travel from NC to MO right now. I'm assuming that they totally understand being that this is a 100% online program and most of the student population would be out of state. But I do wish I could.

Yay!!!!! Very exciting!!! Congrats!!!! Waiting for my interview this coming Friday with U of Missouri, keep your fingers crossed that I get the same news!!

i have been a HH nurse for almost 7 years. i am paid per visit and you definitely make more money this way rather than hourly. most places pay $35 for a routine visit, $65 for a recertification visit and $75 for an admisison visit. most people averag...
I am applying for the fall 2012 PNP program at Mizzou and South Alabama. I was wondering what the average PNP (or any NP for that matter) is in this area. I have a friend who is an FNP and she says she only make about $40,000/year....which is just a ...
