Hello! Has anyone applied to University of South Alabama NP program that starts in the Spring of 2019? I have (have not heard whether accepted or not) and was just wanting to connect with some people! What is everyone's experience? Has anyone heard anything about this cycle of admission? I have worked in Psych for 4 years, GPA 3.4...

I'm currently looking at FNU for PMHNP and I'm worried about all I am reading about people not getting in. I have a previous BS in psychology and will have a BSN next month. In nursing school I had a 3.8 and my psych degree was only 3.4, my BSN will be 3.0, I've only been working psych 3 years...do I have a shot? Can you work full time and go full time? I don't really have the option to work part time for long. What's the workload like? I'm only finding posts from several years ago.

Thank you for the feedback... it isn't just the for profit schools in my state (utah) that are in trouble for the pass rate. Utah as a whole is below the national average in pass rate on the first try. I am going to stay with the school i am at because i am almost done. I have seen some university trained nurses that have BSN's that are bad and good, likewise those that went other routes that are really good or really bad. As long as you pass your NCLEX i have found that it doesn't matter, it is who you are as a person and your work ethic.

I am in a delemma, my school i am in, lost accreditation. They recently went through their reaccreditation process, which has 3 steps; 1st they had a team come look at the program and their report was that we should be accredited. Second, they had the acen commitee come and look at it and they said that we should be accredited; finally it goes to the CEO of acen for approval and she denied it... now what? of course they are appealing it but where does that leave me.... 1. i can wait out the appeal process and continue on as if they are going to get it the CEO of acen is retiring and new person may make a different decision, after all the appeal process could continue on after i graduate. 2. see if the state BON will give us a waiver as we're more then halfway through the program. 3. wait for the school to find us a spot in another program which could add more time in school 4. jump ship to another program that is accredited and may or may not make me redo some of the classes i have already taken. I already know that i took a risk not going the traditional university college route, i am a older student who is also trying to change carrers, support a family, and go to school. I don't know what to do.
