I applied for the ELMSN case management program at SMU for fall 2017 and am wondering who else applied?? :) Lets support each other!

Hello everyone! I am currently waitlisted in the spring 2017 cohort starting in Jan for the USF MSN-CNL non-nurse cohort 23, but I wanted to start a thread for those of you applying to the summer 2017 semester because if I don't get off the waitlist ...

Who else out there applied?? I am patiently waiting to hear about interviews!

Good luck everyone! All I have to say is enjoy this time right now to relax before you start! I am in week 3 of my MSN program and its crazy! I wish you all the best! Try not to stress too much about the application process (easier said than done I k...

The interview is one on one and you'll want to focus on 3 things and practicing how you can articulate them into an answer when they ask you. 1- why nursing? 2- why samuel merritt? 3- why case management? This did not happen to me, but others told me...

No problem! Give me a day or two and I'll email it back with comments! :)

You can email me your personal statement at [email protected] and I will revise it for you :)

@macyymac being that I got accepted and I can tell you what I focused on for my personal statement. I made sure to answer those questions to the best of my ability, while giving them a very good idea of my past experiences and future goals and how th...

Hi everyone! I am starting my ELMSN program at Samuel Merritt in 2 weeks but I wanted to help answer some questions since I did go through this process twice (once waitlisted and once accepted.) @helloimkate no you can only apply to one campus at a t...

There are 24 spots in the program and I heard that over 100 students applied (possibly more because they extended our deadline months after the initial one). I hope that helps! Good luck!

No problem! I think for any program health care volunteer work is highly recommended. With that being said, there are some circumstances where people get in without it. For SMU, I believe they are taking about health care volunteer experience, and fo...

I was waitlisted for spring 2017 and then reapplied and was accepted to the program at USF for summer 2017, but I had already been accepted to Samuel Merritt's ELMSN and had committed there, so I will be starting there in Fall. I went to USF for unde...

@5AAB There is truly no one way they look at volunteer experience. They take a holistic approach and look at each applicant as a whole. There isn't one determining factor, but rather each part of the individuals application is reviewed. It's a very s...

CONGRATS! To all you who got into the program this week! So glad that my spot went to one of you. I wish you all nothing but the best! @aposs yay!! Now you don't have to move out of state if you don't want! Did you ever hear from SMU ABSN?

Hey guys! I wanted to start a threat for those of you applying to USF's MSN-CNL program for this spring! Deadline is Sep 1st, still some time to go! Who is out there that is applying?? :)

That's a great program! Makes total sense why you chose that one! I almost applied there for the Women's Health CNS specialty but changed my mind last minute because I hadn't taken the GRE. Best of luck to you!

Thanks so much @gabe! Glad to be of help. Best of luck to you in this program at USF! I'm sure you're going to do great/love it! The campus is beautiful, the classrooms are small, professors are great, etc!

@ahhshha which program are you going to if you don't mind sharing? Congrats!

Congrats! I guess this is a good time to say that I also have decided to attend Samuel Merritt's MSN program. I hope my spot goes to one of you lovely future nurses who wants this as bad as I do! Best of luck to all of you and I'm still here for anyt...

It is 30 days after the email. They want to make sure you are cleared for those before advancing with all the other steps!

For Bart get a clipper card and get it automatically loaded from a card. That way you just touch and go every time and it makes things a lot quicker. No discount. They give a huge discount for muni, you can buy a muni pass for a certain amount per se...

@gabe I meant OR, and there is a good chance for Friday clinical for sure! I think you should talk to faculty down the line and request to be placed in Friday's. You will be traveling a long way and I have a feeling they will accomadate you. I'm not ...

Ya I think they are still working with their clinical sites because it does change every semester. It's the same for SMU, they make us pick a preference and then place us into clinicals like a week before classes start. Still super torn on my decisio...

Thanks gabe!! Appriciate it! I'm still kinda confused about the blocks lol, I think it is to seperate the clinical and lab groups up, looks like everyone still has the same lecture classes together!

@gabe can you email me all the info they have sent to you so far? [email protected]
