    Eeek I sent the score report last night and called and emailed the guy this morning. No word yet, but I said "one of my friends told me blah blah blah" so hopefully that works

    I will go ahead and do it tonight without calling then and follow up with UIC tomorrow. I'm sorry but they really should have been a little more clear with the GRE waiver policy if we aren't the only...

    So did you have to send an official GRE report @rainkissedleaves? Really didn't want to spend more money on another score

    Wait, what? I haven't finished my bachelors degree either but I didn't send in my GRE scores. Glad I'm not the only one that didnt but still... I guess I need to make another call

    Thank goodness, I was especially worried how I would be able to explain my new specialty among people who originally selected

    clbrand-Thanks! FYI, they will refund app fees for FNP applicants for anyone that wants to

    clbrand- Mind sharing your reasons for choosing PNP with me? I am considering that as my secondary specialty and would like to hear some other

    I feel like there is more to this FNP thing than they want us to know about. Like you guys say, it really doesn't make sense for them to completely eliminate it. I wasn't even thinking about the...

    I don't think you should sweat it. After all, they won't see it until they accept you and organic (what a pesky little class!) isn't even required for admission. I'd say drop the class if you feel...

    I also don't get though how they have room to offer school/FNP and occupational/FNP... I would think much of the course content would be the same. So why would they still be able to offer

    Ireally do not understand how having an FNP geared essay won't affect us either. How are they going to ensure we are still a good fit for the specialty? And I think it isn't really fair to the...

    Sittenfeld, you read my mind. I just called with no answer and I am emailing now. I'll call back later. I had too many questions for a voicemail. If anyone else speaks to the college about the...

    ncami10, I totally hear you. I harped on the fact in my essays that I deeply invested in caring for people across the lifespan. The thing is, although this whole thing irritates me, I have to give...

    Steve--I was actually thinking the AGNP-Primary care specialty is most at risk considering a lot of FNP's work in primary care settings. Regardless, I agree, it makes it even more competitive for a...

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Problem is... I don't have a backup school. I'm waitlisted at Vanderbilt and BC. They do give the option of withdrawing, but no mention of a refund. It's not that I don't like any of the other...

    I really don't know what to choose now. For any of you in this boat, if you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts I would GREATLY appreciate it. I was so set on

    Uhhh, FNP applicants--- Did you get this email? The College of Nursing is experiencing an increased number of applications for the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialty. As a result, the College...

    Rainkissedleaves (and anyone hoping to come out for interviews)- There's a hotel in the medical district (Marriott I think?) if you're looking for a place to stay. There is also plenty of hotels...

    That seems a little... unfair to me that the in person interviews aren't one-on-one if the Skype interviews are. I don't know if unfair is the right word. I don't like to sound like I'm complaining. I...

    That's crazy they give such short notice. So if I'm understanding you right it's a group interview if you do it in person? Grrr I hate group

    Oh okay. I'm doing GEP. It seems like the MSN program deadline was a month before ours so I'm totally jealous you guys are hearing about interviews now. Although I guess you will have waited the...

    I was avoiding coming on here for the past days because I had a little debacle with one of my letters of rec. One recommender didn't submit until yesterday morning despite my pestering for the last...
