Hey jojonavy, so it turns out that the school made an error :/ I actually didn't get admitted and am still an alternate. However I'm way at the bottom of the waitlist so they kept encouraging me to apply next year... I was pretty bummed out. I guess it all works out in the end though because I'll be going to UCI for my FNP license this Fall I mean of course I wish I got into UCSF but maybe it's not such a bad thing after all?

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone is still on this forum? I actually got an email yesterday from admissions saying that I was admitted to the FNP program! However it was confusing because it said on my status that my application was "declined". Definitely will follow up tomorrow. Has anyone ever faced this discrepancy? Pretty anxious!

Hi everyone! So I contacted the coordinator of the FNP program. She told me that currently all applicants offered admission to the FNP specialty have accepted their offers. And she also said it was unlikely to be admitted as an alternate if you are higher than #5 on the list. Seeing as how I'm currently higher than #5, I was advised to apply next year if I'm not accepted to another program this year. I'm still waiting to hear back from another school. Either way, I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys and congrats again!!

Congratulations woofyrn and G in Scrubs!!

@tinatb Thank you so much!

Congratulations to everyone on their acceptances!!! That's fantastic news! I wish everyone the best! :) Does anyone know specifically how to get in touch with the coordinator for the FNP specialty? I just want more information on my alternate status. Thank you!

Hi everyone! Congrats to all those who have been selected in the MSN programs! I applied to the FNP concentration and I have also been chosen as an alternate. I tried to call for more specifics but they couldn't tell me what number alternate I am They did say though that the latest they would be accepting alternates into the program is late July (if an alternate is needed).

Thank you jojonavy for starting this thread! I applied to the 2014 FNP program but haven't heard of anything yet! Crossing my fingers!! KelsRN, congratulations!! That is super exciting!! :) Did UCSF call you or did you check your status on the computer?

Hey everyone! I contacted HR today and they told me that they will be calling people for interviews from July 23 to August 17. I was a bit confused because I thought this was the period when they would conduct interviews, but the nurse recruiter told me that they would just be contacting for interviews at that time... so, I guess we have to still wait? Such a long waiting process! Also, the recruiter said that you will get an email if you are not selected for an interview.

Thanks for the update, houseblew!

Thanks for the update! And I applied for Neurosciences ICU and Surgical ICU :)

Oh wow, congrats!! :yeah:May I ask what kinds of questions they had?? Were they basic interview questions??

Nothing yet!! Ahh this wait is killing me! lol

Hey, guys! So I contacted HR and they told me that the interview process begins on July 16. If you do not hear back from them by that date then you were not selected to interview. Good luck to everyone!!!

I definitely plan on applying! USC is a great opportunity and I absolutely love LA! I hope to get an interview!!! :)

Hey I'm applying to UCSF too! hahaha good luck and I hope we all hear back from them!!

CONGRATULATIONS, JAYELLE!!!! :) This is amazing news!! Do your best and again great job -- you definitely deserve it especially after going through this whole process! I wish you the best of luck and I am definitely reapplying in the Fall! Hope to see you there later on, but please let us know how everything goes!! Again, congratulations and I hope you have an amazing experience!!!!

Hey Jayelle! Thanks for the update and information -- I appreciate it!! Best of luck to you!!! :)

Seriously! Why call it a new grad program then hire more experienced nurses?? I wonder how many new grad spots they actually have :/ But yes good luck Jayelle!!! Make us proud! :) And good luck to everyone else in the job search!!

I just got a call from the UD tonight... I didn't get the job, either :/ What a bummer... I was hoping to meet some of you guys! But congrats to everyone for making it this far, and good luck to all those who get an offer! And thanks to you all for being so supportive in general throughout the whole process. You guys are great

GOOD LUCK!!!! :)

I'm sorry to hear about what happened!! You can definitely use this time to see how you can focus on getting more volunteer or learning opportunities in for the next interview! Getting certifications is also an awesome thing to do or working as a CNA! Don't give up and there are many opportunities out there!!!

During my interview she mentioned that she had a few more to go. Not sure how many though!

Wow a week and a half already!! I feel anxious already and it's only day one!! She said to expect a call or email in a few weeks--2 weeks. She said she would contact us so I don't think we have to unless it's been like 3 weeks with no response...? GOOD LUCK to everyone and I really hope all of us on allnurses can be co-workers!!!

My interview today was just about 30 minutes... I felt like it went really fast but she really didn't ask me that many questions. Did she only ask you like 3 or 4 questions for the phone interview?? The tour was 30 minutes for me. Oh and she also asked me if I had any other questions but I don't know why.. She only asked me once but it was weird because she had another appointment at 1030 but she still asked me if I had other questions. Not sure what she was getting at-- I felt like I was missing something! Hope it wasn't a big deal but yeah I really hope that they look at both interviews and the application overall!
