Wow Amazing! I thought I had to write an entire essay. Thank you so much for clarifying.

If anyone has volunteer experience, do they ask for supporting documents? The hospital where I volunteered required that we complete a certain amount of hours before they can provide proof. I had to stop going after about 5-6 months because I started school.

They do not ask for any documents or anything. They may ask you about the experience.

Does anyone know how much of the program is in class? From previous forums, it seems like you're in class one day a week. I'm curious if that's for a whole day or half day.

I believe it is one day a week, either Tuesday or Thursday. With COVID it is online. Not sure if it is all day or not

It is mainly 1 day a week for about 7-8 hours on zoom but you still need another day for projects study etc. They told me because of COVID the zoom will serve as the in class day and like previously stated it will be done on either Tuesday or Thursday.

Hey everyone, they extended the deadline to April 2nd. The wait for a decision will be even more daunting now LOL.

Hi all,

I applied to the FNP program as well. I wonder how many seats are filled up already since interviews and acceptance letter have already started. Has anyone been to any info sessions?

RN2018NY, BSN · Jan 29, 2021

I’m hoping since they extended the deadline they still have a lot of room to fill... I believe you get your acceptance around a week after your interview so hopefully we won’t have to wait until April!! Still super nervous!

I feel like because the classes will be mostly online with little to none of our classes being in person, they may be able to accept more students. @CeceStar5 I attended the info session. At the time they did not know much of what would happen. Also, I never got a number of seats. Maybe someone else may know.
