Hi dtkahl, I really love this program and i just wrote a response about some of the details of the program and what I really like about it so feel free to take a look at that :) It's definitely a challenging program but it's totally doable!

Congratulations!! I really love the program. All the instructors and support staff are highly qualified, super sweet and all genuinely care about everyone in the cohort making it through. I am really happy with my decision to come here. I am from CA so it was an adjustment, but I came because my husband attends their medical school so I'm not alone. There are definitely a lot of things to do around the university to keep busy and you get really close to your cohort since you see them so often. The first semester is a lot of class time, Monday- Thursday, morning to the early afternoon, with a few days of clinical experiences. The second semester, which is where I am in the program right now is class Monday and Tuesday, while Wednesday and Thursday are clinical days. Wednesday we have clinical all semester and Thursday we only have clinical 4 weeks out of the semester. Next semester I believe is two days of classes and two days of clinicals all the way through. Our cohort size is 32 people, and we are one of the biggest groups they've had so far. But our clinical groups are still pretty small the clinical group I'm in now has only 6 people and for the second rotation of the semester I believe the group grows to about 10-12 because its a public health setting in elementary schools, so less supervision is needed. Let me know if you have anymore questions! If you choose SLU I know you'll love it!

Hi there! So sorry for the very very delayed response. Patho and pharm are definitely challenging courses but you get a lot of support all the way through. They do a really good job at laying out exactly what you need to do in order to succeed and if you need additional help, all of the instructors are more than willing to help! As for the MSN to DNP I believe it depends on the program you're going into but i want to say you need to have around 6 months to a year of experience.

Hi Paulysilver1! Im pretty sure my resume was one page, as I've always heard to keep it around that length. And I just included everything the application called for. So this was, a personal statement, resume, letters of recommendation and transcripts. I think that was all but I could have forgotten something. The website will have better info :) best of luck!

Hi Paulysilver1! For my essay I believe I wrote about a page and a half double spaced. When writing my essay I really tired to focus on why I wanted to go to nursing school and how many of my experiences lead me to my decision to become a nurse. Sharing experiences and how they relate back to nursing, I feel, make everyone's story unique and genuine :) good luck with the application process!

Awesome thank you! I will do that!

I can't wait either!! I want it to be fall already so we can all meet each other and get started!

Hi First2gradschool! Thank you and that's so exciting for you! I hope you get in!! Sending ya good thoughts :) Let me know how it goes

Hi! I have been checking to see if anyone had started a discussion board for those admitted to SLU for the AMSN program for this fall but no luck yet so I decided to create my own! ������ I was admitted to St. Louis University's AMSN program a week or so ago and I'd love to connect to any other people who have been admitted too! Can't wait to get started and meet everyone! If any current students have any suggestions or advice about succeeding in the program please feel free to comment. I'm sure I'm going to need it lol
