The summer is ROUGH! You're in class for most of Monday. Sim Tuesday. Class Wednesday. Clinicals Thursday and Friday from 7-4pm. Study all day Saturday and then some more on Sunday and take exams pretty much every Sunday.

Haha, Ginerd, I won't be there tomorrow unfortunately. I split up the work with another person so I'll be heading up next week's meet and greet.

So has any of you guys started a MEPN 2014 FB page yet?

Silvia.e - There's a funding seminar that should be held early May. Information about that will come out around March. Just make sure to fill out your FAFSA. starharvest - I wore a suit to my interview, but I'd say dress professionally. You might be ...

Marsharabbit, you're pretty much on your own in terms of lodging and accommodations for the interview. More information means they'll let you know where you'll need to be and the time for your actual interview. At least they should have lunch for you...

For those of you who got an interview, congrats! I'm helping plan an informal meet and greet for you guys and encourage you to RSVP to the e-mail you should've received with details. I found it to be pretty helpful, especially in terms of housing and...

mentalhealthadvocate, you should actually try to call in and talk to -----if possible if you don't get an e-mail response...the earlier the better.

@mentalhealthadvocate You can try to switch your UCSF interview date to the other week!

Interviews are typically offered on 2 successive Fridays. This time around it's looking like 1/24 and 1/31. What our upper class did was they held a coffee/bagel thing on the day after the interview in the nursing building so that applicants could me...

Congrats to all getting their letters and getting an interview! I'll keep you guys in the loop about Meet and Greet and Q&A sessions for the days after your interview with current MEPNs.

Thanks for your input all! All your points are extremely valid. Let me address some things... 1. Spanish is NOT a requirement for the FNP. I was ready to dust off my high school Spanish for my interview, but wasn't even questioned about my ability to...

Hey guys. In regards to my last post....the odds this year are actually pretty good! My class submitted 600 applicants with only 57 students accepted. So 300 applicants and about 50 spots is way better for you guys! In terms of the concern....fewer ...

Hey everyone, hope you're all eagerly anticipating an interview letter (in about 1.5 more month). So I just found out that your cohort only sent in about 300 applications which is going to result in only about a class of ~50 students. The downward tr...

Just started the app for this school's program. Anyone else thinking of applying here? I'm pretty annoyed at how expensive the application is: $100 for the grad school and $65 for the NursingCAS application system! This will be one of my fallback sch...

DentHygTurningNP, sorry for the late reply....had finals week and then was trying to enjoy my 2 week "vacation" after the INTENSE summer quarter we just had! Anyway, here are the stats: AGCNS - 4 AGNP - 5 AGNP - HIV - 2 APPHN - 2 FNP - 17 Midwifery -...

DentHygTurningNP - Current MEPN here, the site will stay "Under Review" until early December or so when they start sending out interview requests via mail. The website is a bit lacking in information but keeps the anxiety up! Once the apps are turned...

just PM your e-mail address and I'll invite you.

Just join the group just in case...doesn't hurt.

MimiAzu929, you best join the FB group because most of our dialogue has moved over there now. It'll answer some of your questions. And yup, we met a few weeks ago! Glad you got in too!

Well, good news for one FNP waitlisted candidate....your spot just opened up! I decided to stay in Cali, go to a more affordable school that's #1 for FNP, and be closer to family. Anyway, wishing all of you the best in school and applications!

@sarahcee, yeah, I think I'm really leaning heavily towards SF. It's cheaper, closer to fam, and #1 for FNP...so shouldn't that be a no brainer??? I'm just scared to give my official notices just yet though...I still feel like it's just a bad joke th...

Just have ppl PM you to get their e-mail addresses so you can friend them on FB. You need to be friends in order to add people to the FB group.

It's best to search for flights Mon-Wed. Prices tend to go up traditionally Thursdays and on.... Might be a good idea to just priceline a hotel room and if others are willing to pitch in here, can squeeze 4 to a room to save some money!

@scwolf and @ smallcarbonfootprint, sorry to hear about your notices....that's a serious bummer. Don't give up though! You're sure to get in somewhere!

Just gave my official notice of withdrawal...so there's another FNP slot opening up for ya'll! This will officially be my last post for this forum. Good luck to the rest of you waiting to hear back!
