I would hope so but the schools are so competitive. It seems they look more at undergrad gpa and don't take having a graduate degree under consideration. That's in my opinion is a shame. Who cares what your undergrad grades were if you were able to successfully complete a graduate degree.

I also applied and have not heard anything either. I am hoping to get into the Primary Care PNP program. Keeping my fingers crossed. I have over 15 years in the NICU with PICU and adult ICU experience. I already have a Master's degree but in another field. I doubt that will carry much weight as it was not an MSN. Good Luck to everyone!!

I am looking at applying to Kaplan but are wary of their reputation. Is anyone concerned that they may have trouble getting a job due to perceived bias about Kaplan? For those enrolled, how are things going so far?

I'm hoping to get a hospital job after the first year in school.

The school that I applied to is completely online so I have to set up my own clinicals. I was thinking that there is probably greater availability for hours during the week instead of trying to cram it all in on the weekends.

I am thinking that I will have to take a position at the hospital prior to my clinicals starting. I currently work there on a casual basis which isn't guaranteed hours and of course no benefits.

I currently work in case management for an insurance company while continuing my employment as a staff nurse in the NICU. I recently applied to the pnp program at Maryville university. I am concerned about completing my clinicals with a full time job that doesn't have any weekend hours. Does anyone else only work weekends and are successfully going through school? Cutting back to part time is not an option for me as my husband is on disability. Any help is appreciated!!
