    @MSNhopeful Did you get the official snail mail yet? I haven't received mine

  2. Seattle University APNI 2016 Applicants

    curiousrei replied to historybe's topic in Post Graduate Students

    @MSNhopeful The PLU website says they only offer two advanced practice specialties- FNP and PMHNP (psychiatric mental health) and the PMHNP is currently "Pending board of regents and nursing...

  3. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Looking at posts by other people (on both allnurses and in the Facebook group) who've gotten interviews, I think they'll know the decisions around early to mid-March. Also, I just sent my deposit in...

    Yes! I got mine

  5. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yeah, I'm also interested in the job outcomes for the PLU ELMSN grads. Pursuing a post-master's certification sounds like a good idea to make yourself more marketable though. I'm aiming for PLU's DNP...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    When I got my call, the graduate admissions person said that she was sending out the calls before sending out any e-mails or snail mail. I actually don't remember much that she said because I was in...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    That's awesome! I've always wanted to visit Japan I haven't really been out of the country though. I've been to Canada just because it's so close to Washington and I went to Mexico for my honeymoon...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Ohh! I love Portland! I try to go there once a year just for the different food trucks. If I didn't get accepted to any schools this year, I was gonna apply to OHSU's program. Did you apply to any...

  9. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    But still congrats on getting an interview for SU! That's pretty awesome! It definitely is interesting to see that PLU and SU seem to desire different things. Another user on here (anichka?) wanted...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    It really is odd that you didn't get an invitation. I'm pretty sure all phone calls went out on the same day (based on passed cycles), but your stats are really good and hopefully you do get...

    No I'm not. But I can see why you think that The "rei" part of my username is Japanese for

  12. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yes I have. It seems like it's extra competitive this year since it's the last year that the MSN will be offered. I applied to SU last year for AGNP along with my physical therapy school applications...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    I also have volunteer experience in the hospital. Most of it is physical therapy related for when I applied for PT schools, but I started volunteering in adult/med surg since last summer to better...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    MSNhopeful, Do you know what the average age in the cohort usually is? I'm in my early twenties, but my husband's (also early twenties) in graduate school now and he's definitely on the younger side....

  15. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    I have a BS in Applied Human Biology and a minor in Psychology. I graduated with a 3.62 and my prereqs were definitely the weakest part of my application at 3.24 (3 B's and 2 A-'s). My GRE was 158...

    Congrats MSNhopeful! Sounds like you got accepted too! And yes, that's around the time I received my phone call

  17. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, for the people that were accepted, what were your stats? What part(s) of your application do you think really helped you stick out and get

  18. PLU ELMSN 2016

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    I applied to Seattle U's APNI program and PLU's ELMSN program. My husband is currently attending grad school in Tacoma and we live less than 10 minutes away from PLU, so it was definitely the ideal...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Also, I don't think there's a difference on whether an MSN or a BSN is better. Also, regardless of having an MSN or a BSN, they're both RN's and they'll be preferred over an ADN because they're more...

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Congratulations to you to watermelly! The commute down south to Tacoma can be pretty bad in the evening, but I've found that it's not as bad in the morning. The rent tends to be cheaper here though,...

    It's a little odd how inactive this board is though. There were over 100 posts last year, but barely this

    What other school did you get accepted

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    ahopefulNP, What's your top choice for grad school? I only applied to PLU and SU this year, but PLU was my top

    I received a call around 3:50pm PST today too. Congratulations

    curiousrei replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington Nursing

    What's weird to me is that they don't seem to look at applications until the final deadline. I'm wondering how much the priority deadline actually helps if they're waiting until they get all the...
