Is there anyone else applying to the FGCU DNP program in Fort Myers Florida? I didn't see any other topics so I thought I'd start one

I just posted this meme on facebook when I passed last year haha. Congratulations! I am sure everyone will be happy to find out the good news [ATTACH=CONFIG]24633[/ATTACH]

That's not necessarily true and depends entirely on what area of the country you will be practicing. I am an ASN nurse and got a job in a hospital the month after passing the NCLEX. Since I am in my mid-20s I decided to do the BSN right away, but more so because I want to go to graduate school in the future. I would not recommend that much debt for the BSN.

How many NP programs did you apply to and what made you decide that was the right number? I'm debating whether I should apply to my two top choices or apply to four just in case. My cumulative gpa isn't spectacular at 3.4. I'm finishing up my RN to BSN classes in the next 2 to 3 months with my upper division classes being 4.0. I'm planning to take the GRE in the next few months so hopefully I will get a good score to be more competitive. Just trying to get a feel for what other nurses decided.

I'm interested in knowing the gpa, gre scores, experience, etc. of those admitted to UF's PMHNP program. Currently I am almost done with my RN to BSN program and interested in applying after I finish.

Have you only confined yourself to looking in one section of Florida that is saturated? I am in SWFL if that helps. Almost all of my classmates also have easily obtained jobs months after graduation. I am a new ASN grad in May 2016 and passed the NCLEX June 2016 then in August 2016 got a full-time new grad position. I am not sure if you qualify for new grad programs since it has been over a year since you graduated. 1. Relocation assistance: Nope 2. Whether or not the hospital provides room and board (this would be a plus): Nope 3. Assistance with acquiring of state license: Nope 4. Whether it provides room for educational growth: Once you are a full-time employee over a year you can get some assistance in future education

Hey. Good luck everyone!!! I am in an RN to BSN program, but I finish after the summer semester so next year I am going to apply for Fall 2018 at UM. So I will definitely be watching this thread closely to see what you all go through. Do you mind saying what your gpa is, how much nursing experience you have, and what program you applied for? I'm kind of nervous my gpa won't cut it because my cumulative gpa is only 3.4 and I want to do the fnp I can't wait to hear about when you all get your interviews!

I got my email like 10 minutes after I posted that haha.

Has anyone from Lee days got the email with the CRNs? I didn't get them yet but I see 10 people are registered.

I just got my call. I got into the Lee campus day program :)

Has anyone heard anything from the Lee day program?

I think the people that get accepted find out June 12th at the latest because on the website it says "*Finalists will be notified within four weeks after application deadlines." I asked after I gave in my application at Lee and she said 1 month from the due date. I have heard that if you aren't accepted you find out later so maybe that is why they said the end of June at Collier. Last year on the Edison thread for the fall they found out just a week after their due date for the application. I hope we find out that fast!

Hi everyone! I applied with 97 points. My first choice is Lee day. I wonder when we will hear back. In regards to the point system, there is no set number. It changes every semester based on the applicants. I remember when I was at orientation in 2013 they said points to get in Lee for the summer were 85 based on the people that applied that cycle. Don't give up hope yet.

I'm 22 now. I started college at 18 (different major) then at 20 realized I wanted to do nursing so my last semester was prereqs. Then the place I was working at part time went bankrupt so I had to take time off of school to work full time and help them close. Then I moved and had to wait a year to get in state tuition. Now I start school again in a few months :) and if I get in the program when I apply I will be 25 when I become an RN.

For most nursing schools the minimum gpa usually doesn't get you in. For example, I know of a few programs with the minimum gpa of 2.5, but the only students that get in have a gpa of 3.3 or above. I have never heard of only being able apply to the one nursing program and not to others. That is odd and I would look into other schools.
