I heard back almost exactly 12 weeks after I had applied. Do you remember how to get onto that little UC account they gave you to fill out the application for the university? Another way to find out if you have been accepted is to log into that and look at your application status. It will either say deferred, declined or admitted. If it says admitted then you have been accepted into the program. They usually update that before they send out the emails! Good luck to you!

The program is mapped out very user friendly. They use Blackboard or Canopy. It's pretty basic. So in my classes right now I have 2 assignments due about every 3 weeks with an exam about every 4 weeks. It's extremely doable work! the assignments are honestly just busy work. The exams are a bit more challenging, but they give you ample time to study and lots of resources. I'm doing this full-time with 4 children and job. I dropped to part-time, but it was more to keep my kids out of daycare than anything.

Of course! I have roughly 11 years experience altogether, but only 4 years as an RN in ICU. My GPA was a 3.5. Basically you'll apply through NursingCAS and it provides a breakdown of your degrees with subsequent GPAs in all subjects. For instance, my science GPA was only a 3.0, yet my mathematics GPA was a 3.9. UC told me they look at math above science. A friend of mine was also accepted with an overall GPA of 2.7, so it can be done. Get good references. Physicians if possible! You'll do great! GO FOR IT!

Hey guys! I am on the prowl for a good, reputable student loan company. I start my FNP grad program in a few weeks and my first semester alone is 5200 dollars. I have no issues with getting student loans, but I want a company that doesn't charge a ton of interest. Anyone have any leads? Please and thank you!

UCincy without question! I personally know 3 people who graduated and they are very bright Nurse Practitioners! I start UC in Spring 17 and I am extremely confident about my decision. Good luck to you in whatever path you choose my friend!

Hey zanfelhor, I got your pm! The site won't allow me to answer back for some reason. I am unsure if the requirements are different for psych. I am doing Family and I got in with a cumulative GPA of 3.6. They didn't even look at just my nursing GPA. I was a little worried, because science was my lowest GPA breakdown, but my advisor told me that they really look at mathematics and mine was a 3.9. My friend got into the family program as well and his cummulative GPA was a 2.7. Just have good references in place and really talk up your experience and how it will benefit you in the program. You'll do great!

I got a Welcome email from my enrollment advisor and attached was a Welcome Video with the NP Program Director and a schedule to schedule a welcome phone call with her as well.

Thank you so much for replying :) That patient load is insane! We are always doubled with CRRT and balloon pump, but never together in the same assignment. My stress level over the last 2 years has literally tripled. I don't even remember what it's like to feel "normal" anymore... whatever that is right. I can't even sleep the night before I have to come to work. My heart just pounds and skips beats all night. When I am at work, I am fine. When I get to my car at the end of my shift, it hits me how mentally and physically exhausted I really am. I then proceed to crash on my first day off and feel hungover on my other days off. It's just this over and over again and I know it's from work. My home life is fantastic! I don't know what I would do without my family. I'm definitely on the prowl for something new.
