It's May 2017 and I'm keeping this thread alive. Hoping that there's a US nurse working in MX who reads this. Can my US license be transferred to a MX license? If so, how? What agencies do I start with? Thanks!

Hi everyone -- I'm very proud to have been accepted for the Summer 2013 cohort. A big congratulations to everyone who was also accepted! I decided to attend Penn, my first choice for a number of reasons, several of which don't really have much to do...

Hi everyone... I check out of allnurses for a while... but wanted to pop back in to say that I was accepted for the BSN/MSN with PC-AGNP specialty. I've already confirmed and am excited to start the whole moving process. I don't use Facebook, but I...

Wow, congratulations everyone!!! Hooooorayyy!!! So glad to hear your good news -- what a wonderful way to end the year!!! And big cheers to nautica -- all your positive thoughts worked! So glad for you.

Shmipps, I don't know if everyone gets an interview, but they are interviewing regular decision students now -- I had mine earlier this week.

I also received the magazine... I think they stick your address on their mailing list when they get your application! Good luck to the early admissions people, who'll be hearing back sometime in the next week or so! For summer entry, I was told tha...

No worries, guys! UCSF was not my first choice, and honestly, it's good to just get it over with. My other applications, though -- those better pull through!!! kdiem, I live in SF, so I imagine that this batch of letters was dropped in the mail on ...

Got my letter today... Status: REJECTED And that's that!

dee, thanks so much for providing this interview feedback. I'm curious who interviewed you; I'm pretty sure that my interviewer is an admissions counselor, not a faculty member or program director for my chosen specialty (not that there is anything ...

Hopeful, I was also asked to name some adjectives that someone might use to describe me... I was additionally asked if I had any NP role models. The male admissions associate (forget his name) who facilitated the tour with Filomena was the one who sa...

Hi all, Just to second what hopeful said -- the questions your interviewer asks are likely different for everyone, but ultimately they are a springboard for you to express why you're seeking a career as a nurse. Here's what I was asked: Why Penn? Wh...

dee73, sounds like we are doing the same thing in reverse! And yes, please let me know how the JH interview goes -- good luck!!

I'm also an applicant for the summer 2013 start date! I'm actually doing my interview in person next Monday (I'm going to be on the east coast for my Penn interview this Friday, so I thought I'd just take the train down). For those who have intervie...

Thanks salinn, kdiem, and hopefulnurse for the suggestions! I'm planning my spring school schedule now.

"Oh man" is right... I want to hide in the turtleneck of my sweater just thinking about it!

Holly, congratulations! I bet you knocked their socks off. Thanks so much for the report... I'll definitely make sure I know my application by heart before I go in. My interview is on Friday morning with the assistant director of my Master's specia...

I've been thinking about this, too! The advice I received from a NP/mentor was to wear your basic standard interview garb (clean & pressed); make sure that you're comfortable and that you're not aiming to express yourself with what you have on -...

I think you're right that SF State offers only a BSN.

Arrgghhh.... I can't wait to receive that stupid letter so I can get this school out of my mind... I'm having dreams about being rejected!!! Brain, what is going on???

So... should we all expect to receive our rejection/request for interview letters during the first week of December, as has happened in past years? I don't know if their protocol has changed.

Got the email for an interview yesterday morning, too, for Adult/Gero primary NP. Am trying to decide if I should fly out or do it remotely. Congrats everyone!

Hi all, I hope to be starting nursing school next year, and I'd like to hear from nursing students (esp. those in BSN programs) which science classes they took that have been the most used/helpful/important in preparing them for nursing school itself...

I have taken Gen Chem I. I am trying to determine if I should take Gen Chem II or Organic next semester. Has anyone taken Gen Chem II, and if so, what material does it cover? Thank you for providing some suggestions regarding logic classes, though ...

Thanks all for your suggestions. On a personal level -- because I am an older student with a humanities degree and a related career under my belt, I'm primarily seeking advice regarding science classes. I feel confident in my writing and language s...

Awesome, ScottE, to hear this. Because I'm applying to ABSN programs I'm not sure if I can squeeze Patho in during the program (since it's usually one of the first courses students take), but I may try to take it beforehand if I can. The general Nut...
