Samford University RN to DNP - Spring 2018

Published

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone here has applied to or been accepted into Samford University's RN-DNP program for January 2018?

Deadline for applications is August 1st. I submitted my application on July 1st and got my acceptance letter per email on July 10th!

I would love to reach out to others that will be in the program with me!

Hey there! I'm waiting to hear back on my application, but I submitted on July 31st so I know it may be a while 😬 I'm a pretty fresh new grad, so I'm trying to steel myself for not getting through this cycle, but I know I'll be quite disappointed if I don't get in. It seems like you guys got responses fairly quickly. Maybe it's just taking a longer time because there were more applicants closer to the deadline? Either way I'm obsessively checking the application status page 😂

Do you guys mind if I ask which track you are pursuing? Dual, FNP, informatics etc.?

Don't lose hope! I just graduated last December! And I'm doing FNP!

I graduated in December as well! I applied for Dual FNP/ENP, so maybe that is why it's taking a bit longer. Did you graduate from a school local to samford?

Yeah I wouldn't worry!! And yes I graduated from university of Alabama in Tuscaloosa!

Ohhhhh so you applied to the BSN-DNP program? There is an RN-DNP program for ADN nurses as well, which is what I have applied for. I feel a bit better now since they are different programs. Congratulations! I have a couple co-workers who must have graduated with you. Do you work in Bham?

Ohhh wow I didn't even realize the topic was for a different program! Haha yes I work at children's!

That's awesome! Children's is wonderful! We had to make an ER visit there once (all is well, elbow injury). I'm down 280 a bit ☺️

Haha sorry about the elbow! Well good luck on getting in! Wishing you the best!!

Thank you! I have a coworker who is in orientation now for the Dual NP BSN-DNP program and He didn't get a decision for a month and a half... so I'm still holding out hope í ½í¸œ. I'll update when I hear, regardless of the decision! And congrats again!
