I haven't found a thread yet for the applicants to the 2018 Master of Nursing program at the U of M so I thought I'd start this one! I think we had an earlier deadline than previous cohorts - looks like it used to be on Jan 1? But maybe I'm just look...

Hi all! I too have a question about the areas you can work for your service years. Does anyone have a resource of what might count? I live in Minnesota and I would like to stay in the area I'm in and as far as I know it does have a nursing shortage b...

Thank you becominganRN! We'll see what happens.... Did the offer of admission have a "please reply by" date? Wondering when I'm most likely to hear...

Hi Hikeat96- wanted to comment here because I'm also in the May 2018 cohort at UW! How are you feeling about the upcoming program? I am nervous but excited - still feel like I have a LOT to do before the program starts...!

Well, I just heard! I've been wait-listed. There are 20 people on the wait list and I've heard that usually people on the wait list get in but.... really don't want to just wait around for them. Plus since I've already been accepted into the program ...

Hi! Awesome of you to reach out! I actually do have a couple questions... I work with several students who are in the DNP program at the U of M (I work at HCMC and they have clinicals there) and they have said that the DNP program feels somewhat uns...

Me neither!! Waiting is the worst part! And that's too funny about your dream - I had a dream that I got an email too and excitedly told my family/friends and woke up and was so bummed. Let me know if you hear anything! !

Have you heard anything yet??

I actually don't know... I finished my pre-reqs a year ago so I'm not in the loop on this one. BUT, if you're worried I would definitely do it. No harm, right? But in terms of the interview... I can't imagine they would ask you about that. Maybe but ...

Yes!!! Thank you so much!!

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Hello all! I am an applicant for the 2018 cohort at the UMN! I have my interview coming up and I'm trying to learn as much about the program as possible before then! I'm pretty sure the UMN is my first choice- I've done a lot of research on the prog...

Has anyone been able to go to or login for one of the info sessions? Every one has been during a work shift of mine so I have been unable to go but I'm really wanting to know what's been discussed. Like... do we go to class every day or just a couple...

Hi all - received an email yesterday offering me an interview slot! Anyone else? I've already been looking for practice interview questions... Also, I've been reading a thread from last year that has been really helpful. One of the current students i...

No one will hear anything until February.... We'll get our interview invites in Feb and we'll find out final decisions in March.

Hm... that seems logical. I wonder if that's true! Does anyone know how many people applied this year? I thought it was something like 400+ but I could be wrong. Insights? Also- still interested to know if anyone has a # on how many spots are on the...

I am #45 on the waitlist. So pretty far down. I don't know how many spots there are though. What are y'all's spots? This is what the website said about the waitlist: Waitlist lengths are limited to a number that is realistic in terms of how many sp...

Just got an email! Wait-listed.

Yes- definitely agree to keep each other posted! I was assured on the phone yesterday that we would know either way by 5pm. So it is certainly very weird that so many of us don't know. I think they close the office AT 5pm so if you call you might wan...

When I called the office, they told me that if I haven't heard by 5pm today something probably got lost or went wrong. :/

Anyone else hear anything yet?

I have not gotten a call yet.... hopefully there are still calls on the way!

I found out that it is tomorrow that we are finding out. I am so. nervous. But good luck to everyone- keep yourselves occupied tomorrow so you're not just staring at your inbox!!

Does "decisions being made" mean we're getting the email/call tomorrow or does that mean decisions are being made tomorrow and that we'll get the email/call next week?

I called the program last week and the woman on the other line said we would hear "before the end of December." It's killing me! Anyone have any news yet?
