I did well. Starting this Summer! I’m excited to say the least. How’s it going? Any pointers? chilli

Hi, I’m sorry your interview didn’t seem great. I bet you did better than you’re thinking though. We are our own worst enemy. The proctored essay: log in via Zoom. They will tell you to open up Word or Google doc. They will give you a random topic. You will have 30 minutes exactly to write an essay. They do give you warnings as to how much time you’ve left. Right at the end, they expect you to email it promptly to the email address they’ll give you. I hope this helped! Good luck! chilli

I applied to part-time.

*update* I’ve been accepted into the program!!! Was notified via email. Good luck everyone! Hopefully this thread gave (will give) some insight for your journey. chilli

Hi Nikki, That’s awesome that you’ve been selected elsewhere ~ congrats on that! Let me clarify ~ there was a written proctored essay for the DNP FNP. I’m not 100% that that’d be the case for PMHNP. It seemed like a new thing they were doing anyways. Good luck on the interview!! Please let us know how it went! Chilli

Raven ~ congratulations on getting an interview! It is my understanding that you crossed one of the hurdles not everyone gets a chance to do. I was so nervous too! I tried to prepare the best I could. Ultimately, it was just like a job interview that starts off with “Tell me about yourself” then got into more situational/behavioral questions. The time flew by very very quickly. I look forward to hearing about your progression! IF...IF we both get in, our classes overlap ? Chilli

Update: did the interview January 2. Was notified a week later that there’d be proctored written essay prompt on 15th. Today is MLK day (18th). Fingers crossed good news comes soon!

I just got an email requesting an interview! I’m so happy to continue through the process! Anyone else? Any advice on how to prepare or what to expect? Thanks for reading ?

Fingers crossed for both of us!

Hi, I don't see a thread about Pacific Lutheran University and their DNP program yet ~ so, here we are! Currently, their first priority deadline of December 1 just passed. The next deadline is January 15, 2021. Both are for a June (Summer) 2021 start. I've got my app in and am wondering who else have applied? I'm also wondering: How many people get accepted? When/how are folks notified? Any current/past students that could offer up any info on the process or program itself? Thanks for reading and your participation on this thread!

Congratulations! Definitely interesting times, but you're doing it! I've got so many questions as I just submitted my CAS. I totally understand if you don't have time ~ maybe others can even chime in? What was your timeline from submission? What can you tell me about the process? How competitive is the admittance? How big is your cohort? Are you able to work while in school? Is the program affordable? Any information or comment is very much welcomed that is allowed and appropriate! I wish there was more info/forums online for this program. Thank you so much for your time!

How did it go?

Haha ~ yes, everything Future said! Seriously look at Rate my Professors for Religion ~ Early Christianity. I had Dr. Torvend and he was good/easier than some of my other cohorts. No memorizing and he lets you use a 3x5 even after giving out a study guide. I didn't use a pass/fail option because I didn't know about it...so, I ended up working harder than I needed to. My other class was Early Modern European Hx of the 1400-1700's. When we signed up for Fall, most of the classes were already taken for Gen Ed's...Hx is not my strength. Overall, I never got less than 92.5% in any of my assignments or exams in all my classes so far. You'll just need to study a lot. I know some people never read their Nursing book, but I did & highlighted important parts and studied from that. Nursing exams are 6-10 chapters each. Some students just studied off PowerPoint and did fine too. Anyways.... Join Delta Iota Chi (Nursing club) :). You'll get graduation regalia from this. Practice Self Care & have lots of fun with many new friends! Chilli

Hi Dawn! Nice to meet you! I'm going to DM you :)

Hi S14alex ~ Congratulations!!! I know of Spring spots opening up as people switch to Fall ~ a little birdy has not disclosed the good news yet on here ~ keep the faith everyone! Chilli
