For anyone who's been thinking about going straight to NP school after undergrad in nursing: It can be done! I just finished the last exam of my BSN degree. I have no RN experience and have not even taken the NCLEX yet. I graduate next week. I've alr...

Hi everyone, I applied for the MSN program for FPMHNP (traditional entry). Has anyone heard back about an interview yet?

Anyone have any idea when we receive the first stipend/ORC payments?

Thanks MocaPoca - that's super helpful!! I'm still waiting for my contract to be countersigned but it's really helpful to know that stuff for once I get my welcome packet. Another observation -- my program doesn't start until Sept. 29th. I wonder if ...

My last name starts with J and I'm starting a master's psych NP program. I honestly don't think last name or program type has anything to do with it. I'm not sure why I got it so late!!! But it goes to show that you really never know what will happen...

I am in total shock - I got a phone call and the initial congratulations email today. I just submitted the W4, verification, and banking info - they are due on 9/19 for me. I must be one of the last people notified. I can't believe what an incredible...

I just looked over last year's thread and it actually looks like there were a good amount of people who got their credit checked but didn't get the scholarship. I am not counting on it. Oh well!

I had a credit check 7/29 and still have not received word. I'm wondering how many other people out there got a credit check but have not gotten a finalist email? Thanks.

That's very reassuring MissPatricia, thanks for posting!

Same here... credit checked on 29th and nothing else yet... I'm trying to accept that I won't get it, and then if I do, it will be a very pleasant surprise. If I don't, I will reapply next year and life goes on!

From Minnesota, going to school in Oregon, and no word here yet, but I did have a credit check on the 29th... anyone heard back today at all?

Thanks Marina for trying to calm our nerves!! My credit is excellent so I don't think it should prevent them from awarding me. I'm just hoping I'm close enough to the top of the list to get offered. It sounds like it's being done in a rolling fashion...

Ahhh I really hope they don't just check my credit for nothing!!

argh nothing here yet...

I don't think the representatives on the call line really know what the scorers are doing. If they had started sending out finalist emails, someone would have posted here. Happens every year.

Argh. I have been scouring past years' forums trying to figure out the likelihood of acceptance after getting a credit check. I really hope this week (hopefully tomorrow) brings news at least to someone, to show that they are starting to let finalist...

I am an MSN NP applicant and also had my credit checked as a hard inquiry into Equifax on July 29th according to creditkarma. Hope this is a good sign and looking forward to news this week!!!

Wow, congrats! No credit check here yet I paid 10.50 to Equifax so that I wouldn't have to wait 7 days in between checks on creditkarma lol. Argh.

Nothing yet for anyone here??? The medical forums are pretty active with people getting credit checks...

Hey all. Anyone else see this report? http://www.aanp.org/images/documents/research/2015npcompensationsurvey.pdf I'm just amazed by how high all these salaries are! I'm starting a PMHNP-MSN program in September and wonder if the psych NP average of a...

Post here when you get your credit checked. Some people on the medical boards say they've already gotten their credit checked for NHSC. As an MSN-PMHNP student, I applied for both NHSC and NURSE Corps... such a long wait!

Psych NPs out there: which roles allow you to be on your feet much of the day? Which don't? I start my program in September. Thanks!

Feel free to check my post history to see where I applied. :)

First I will respond to your points and then I'll outline some points from other studies. 1) This study focused on acute care nurse practitioners and says nothing about other specialties such as PMHNP. 2) Nothing you quoted shows that the study compa...

After that last post I did an updated search and found a new 2015 article that also found no correlation between RN experience and NP competence: [h=1]Exploring the Factors That Influence Nurse Practitioner Role Transition[/h] Hilary Barnes, PhD, CR...
