I did not see a post for the Spring 2012 ELMSN - FNP program in Sacramento, so I thought I would start one for all the hopeful FNPs.
A little about me:
My name is Jennifer and I live in Rancho Cordova. I have two young boys, 3 years old and 9 months, and this is the first year I am applying to the ELMSN FNP program. I have an undergraduate and graduate degree in Health Administration/Education and realized I want more patient interaction. So, here I am hoping I get accepted.
Good to hear they are still accepting people. I interviewed last week, but I haven't heard anything, so I am just really nervous, anxious, scarred, excited.
Hows your overall GPA, Science GPA, TEAS, and what is your experience in this field? Wondering if I stand a chance?
I didn't feel too confident about mine either. My interviewer was a bit tough on me. I remember she said that they would be contacting us in 2 weeks because they have to tabulate our score but it's 2 weeks today.
I think they were really looking for people who have good clinical experience and show that they can handle an intensive accelerated program. I got accepted and I only have a 3.5 gpa, 80% teas. But I have my BS in kinesiology and did a one year internship in cardiac rehabilitation. I think it also really helps to have strong letters of recommendation.
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for all the kind words. I was very devastated when I heard the news but I guess it is for the best. I will be applying next year for the FNP and also the ABSN. We will see how it goes.
I am really happy for everyone accepted into the program. Being accepted is such a great accomplishment. Let us know how the first semester goes. Good luck to everyone and I wish you an awesome first semester. Go get um'!
