I went to their website today and found that the nursing application has now been posted. Due date is January 15, 2010. Now it's time to bug my professors for another round of forms and letters. I have one letter, but need the form to get filled out. It's so embarrassing to go back to the same people. I feel like I owe them the world. What's the most number of requests anyone has asked one person?
Anyway back to the application itself. On it you have to choose a Graduate Program Emphasis. If my goal is to become a Diabetes Educator, should I choose Adult Acute CNS or Maternal/Child CNS, or should I choose Public Health? Does anyone know if we can change specialties mid-stream?
@jenn3999 - I believe we get two weeks after we are notified to file an intent to register.
However, I am still waiting to hear from MSMC, but won't know until May if I even got an interview, and final decisions go out in June. What happens if I file an intent to register, but then decide not to go to SFSU?
If you file an intent to register somewhere, they may press you for resgistration and/or a fee payment to hold your spot. If you have not heard yet, you may stand to lose an unrefundable few hundred dollars. Normally, they won't reeimburse you the full fee to hold your spot. Then, if you are admitted elsewhere, you just withdraw your intent to register (not sure on the process) and as long as you are 100% sure you will never reapply to that school, then no big deal. The money lost is worth the peace of mind.
Then someone asked me about if we hear from the SON or Grad adm, and I think we do hear from the SON. But I am not sure, which is why I didn't reply sooner.
Sugar, thank you for that update - you are a rock star!
@VanHalen - Thanks for all the additional input. Coming off of a fantastic weekend in Joshua Tree. Hopefully good news awaits this week. Lord help the mailmen this week.
Make sure you check you status on their website. Both my co-worker and I got in to their MSN-FNP program and our status was updated. They sent us an email yesterday also. Good luck!!
