I'm in an AE MSN program and as one of my professors put it "you've already proven you deserve to be here, at this point we are going to do everything we can to make sure that you succeed." The graduate level course work is definitely challenging bu...

I'm in nursing school right now, an Alternate entry psych np program. My experience is in Austin, TX. It can be more of a challenge if you're looking for med-surg or peds, but if psych is your interest you should have no problem finding a job fresh...

Just a heads up to the Psych NP people, there were 4 spots available in this years cohort, we were also told there would be 6-8. They have problems finding psychiatrists and psych NP's to precept, so it's hard to know how many spots will actually be...

Just wanted to offer an alternate view to this job crises I've read about in this thread, I'm in Austin, TX getting an alternate entry MSN and have been speaking to the students who are just finishing their foundation year and are now considered "gra...

Hi Kfab, I'm sorry I don't know much about getting through the volunteer brick wall, I hear it can be tough. Some other options to get medical experience by the time you apply are getting your CNA license or shadowing an RN, NP, or PA. I actually s...

Maurady, I couldn't find the FB group, any way you could add me? Joshua Logan Meza

Congrats to everyone who got their letters! I've started on compliance too,there's a lot left to do though. I haven't seen anything about a fb group, if someone starts one let me know

Congrats! you're as good as in. See you in June

How was the interview Jordan?

Hi soxgirl, From their website http://www.utexas.edu/nursing/academics/gr_degree.html: "The Foundation Year: The AE program is designed to satisfy RN licensure requirements and train students in advanced practice and specialty nursing rol...

Hey y'all! I will be starting an alternate entry program in May, 1st year is prep for NCLEX, followed by MSN work. We are strongly encourage to get a PRN position working 1 or 2 days a week during the MSN work,which I will definitely be trying to do...

Don't stress! It's much more of an informational meeting than an interview. How it went for me was she talked to me about what the program was, why I was being considered for it, and what would happen if I chose to enter my name into consideration....

What's involved with "compliance?" Just curious, read about it a little but I'm curious what exactly y'all had to do.

Hi Jordan90k, The second interview is a good thing. They are, at least as I understand them, to tell you about the undeclared pool and ask if you are interested in joining it. I described it in earlier posts, if you're interested.

Congrats jt!

Got my letter this morning, accepted! And just an fyi for those who are curious, it looks like the Adult-Gerontology CNS and the Psych NP are the two most competitive programs, so those are the ones they are choosing from for the undeclared pool, g...

Thanks Sarah, yeah I've had the second interview and got an email asking me if I was interested in being considered for the undeclared pool yesterday. Just waiting now.

Hey Sarah, I’ve read the 2011 and 2012 AEMSN threads and they agree with what (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES OF THOSE IN YOUR PROGRAM PER TOS) told me in the second interview. Basically they take the top 16 people, who they feel ...

@Sarah.Gonzaga is that for the undeclared pool? or for your maternity/phn? From what I read last year people on waitlists got in so congrats!

I will be starting an alternate entry masters program in May, the 1st year is prep for the NCLEX, then I begin my masters work. I have that 1st year to decide which masters I want to pursue, but I'm currently leaning towards a Child Health with Role...

MandaRN94, It's The University of Texas at Austin's alternate entry masters program. I guess I should have mentioned it in the original, but the child health one has an option to apply to the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program upon completion of y...

Just curious, did anyone else get called for second interviews? I applied for the psych NP, was told there were 4 spots available and that I was their #5 choice, but they interviewed me for the "undeclared pool" anybody in this situation?

Hi y'all, So I have an interview next week for an alternate-entry PNP program (I have a non-nursing bachelors degree) and it sounds like an amazing opportunity, but I haven't been able to get much information on what the typical day-to-day work life...

Elkpark, I understand what PMHNP's general roles are and their various responsibilities. After several months of being unable to find an available PMHNP to shadow, I was recommended this site to get information from those currently working in variou...
