Thanks, Bardone. And, yes, drinks all around. I'm also keeping busy in the interim with other apps. At the same time I'm rounding up random pre-reqs needed for other schools, such as Soc. My plan is...
All lurkers welcome. Yeay, here's to getting interviews! I'll meet you all for a beer or tea or whatever your beverage of choice is. Heck, if I get an interview, I'll buy your drink.
Hi All, This thread seems pretty quiet, compared to past years. Are there any other places online you are chatting with people? (FB? or...?) Maybe it's just that UCSF has smoothed out a lot of...
samdaman and others, The admissions office got back to me about my transcripts. Although the application site didn't show any of the transcripts received (after I locked my application), they say...
These are interesting points to consider. I had never heard the BSN issue either. Hm. On a different note (less interesting), I just "locked" my application. (Yikes. It feels so final. Fingers...
Hi folks, I love reading all of your comments. Does anyone know how we know if/when UCSF has received our transcripts? I have quite a few. I put in requests for all of them over a month ago but i...
I am also considering both options, the "traditional" and the ASBSN. I attended the info session last month for the ASBSN and it was pretty inspiring. It sounds very intense. I don't have kids but, if...
Yikes, Achase, I think you scared everyone away. You sound like an awesome candidate. I expect you'll get in wherever you like. I am applying to the same schools, except instead of USF, I'm going for...
Yes, I'll be applying to the UCSF MEPN (I have a B.A. in Biology), as well as CSU EB and CSU Sac. I amy also apply to Sonoma State but their application isn't due until 2013 (Jan or Feb) so there's...
Thanks so much to all of you who have commented on this thread! I just turned 50 and am in the process of applying to Nursing schools. I have LOVED doing the prereqs, especially Anatomy and Physio....
Wow, two hospital ERs! That's great. How did you swing that? It seems hard to get volunteer positions with meaningful patient contact (as opposed to just filing medical records, for
Hi kdiem, Thanks for the information on the recommendations status. I did see that status section but that area hasn't changed (yet) on my page so I wasn't sure if it would. Now I know to start...
Hi Lakerfan, I am planning to apply to SFSU this fall, for the BSN program. I've got a 3.8 GPA (for pre-reqs) and a 94 on my TEAS. So many people seem to be applying this year; I'm a little nervous...
Hi everyone, That's excellent news about the Midwifery program, for all you midwife-types. (I'm going for the Adult-Gerontology NP myself.) I have a question about the online app's recommendation...
Are you two sure? I vaguely recall them saying something in the May info session about combining specialties -- maybe Family Nurse Practitioner with midwifery (??). I didn't pay attention because it's...
It's open! The 9th, just as they said. Off we go. Very exciting! We should all stay in touch. If the system is like last year's, we may need to help each other along. :)...
Hi kdiem, Thanks for the update on the application schedule. I looked back at some threads from past years and saw that the applications opened then around July 18. The 9th would be great though....
Hello folks, I am also planning to apply for the 2013 MEPN - in the Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner specialty. Thanks to DoulaMama and all who have offered their advice; that is SO helpful! I...
Hi KLJ, I hope you got in! I have a question for you. I was (maybe am) considering applying to the Sequoia Hospital BSN. My only reservation is that the application said that when you graduate, you...
