When it's time to take the ANCC board exam, you should take review courses with Georgette. Felt like school was much harder than the board exam. You'll be fine!

*correction- how much I paid

Sorry! I actually went to a school in AZ to finish a DNP program and it was mostly online. I had to fly to the campus once a year. It's a good school but didn't seem worth it for how much I was paid and how little help I received to find my own preceptors. I tell my friends to go with a school that offers preceptors because if they don't, you'll have to pay for it either way and in the end, it ends up being the same price.

While I understand how expensive NYU is, it's probably best to go with this school because it finds you clinical sites. If you're already stressed about passing classes you don't want to worry about finding preceptors. This would stress you out even more. School is already difficult. Also, there are many preceptors who would say yes and back out at the last minute. It would be so horrible to take a semester off just because you did not secure a clinical rotation. I've had a preceptor who was willing to precept me but the school did not complete a contract with the hospital because of liability issues with the legal team. You can always use those services like PreceptorPoint or NPHub, but it's not guaranteed. Save yourself the trouble and stick with NYU. There's a reason why these schools are so expensive right? And if it weren't a great school, it would not be that expensive. Expensive and well-known schools have a great/strong alumni association for a reason. Those schools take care of you while you are a student. You can apply for a loan repayment scholarship and work in an FHQC to pay back your loans once your a licensed NP. Hope that helps.

I checked my application status and it says that decision has been sent. I didn't receive an email..... I'm guessing they're sending directly to our mailing addresses? Scared.

How did you find out? did they email you??

Still waiting..

I'm pretty sure they will tell us by mid-April.

has anyone applied for the MEPN program??

I checked their site and the important deadline section mentions that we don't hear back until early April. Dang, so far away!!

Anyone placed on the alternate list ??

Hi, I know you applied to UofA 2 yrs ago, but i also had an interview, but via skype. I was just wondering if you were accepted and if you know any of their stats- the total of ppl placed on alternate list etc.. Are you in the program?

Hi hmb29.. I'm kinda new on this site so I thought I had to add you as a friend to send you a message. I read that you had an interview with UofA last year. I just had mine via skype with UofA too but I was waitlisted for this coming summer. Were you offered admission from UofA last year??

Oooh, I see. Hrmm.. never heard of them doing rolling admissions. =/ But I'm applying right now. Just waiting for them to receive all my transcripts...

Ktonic, did you get an email ??? Or did they call you?
