The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) DNP Dual FNP/PMH

Hello, last month, I got accepted into the University of TN Health and science center's DNP dual FNP/PMH in Memphis, TN. I was wondering if anyone else wants to connect before starting the program. I'm moving from Texas and would love to be roommates with other DNP students if we connect to save myself some money or be friends.

I also don't mind living by myself. I do have an indoor Persian cat. I don't know the area well but have heard about the city being dangerous. Please do advise if you know the area well. TIA.

May I asked how long did it take to find out you were accepted and did you do an interview other than the interview we recorded for the application. I just submitted my application in April and now I'm really anxious ?

Hello Ms. Woods,

I submitted my application a day or two before March 15 (past priority) and received my acceptance letter April 24th via email - so it took about a month. I honestly didn't think I was going to get in since the class is small and I was told it was a very competitive program.

Since application deadline is May 1st according to nursingcas and according to my acceptance letter, doc requirements are due by May 31st, my guess is that decisions should be out soon.
 

I don't have a student ID yet and had called admission this past Tuesday. They told me I would have it by today or by the end of next week to deposit the $200 and lock my position.

Hi Cindy,  if you don't mind me asking.  Did you have 1 full year of experience as a RN before applying as listed for the FNP/PMHNP concentration? I will complete my BSN this Summer. I am looking to apply Next Fall 2024 and wanted to know how strict they were with the Dual Program about that and how the interview went. 

I look forward to hearing back from you. 

Thanks,

Khadijah

Hi,

I have been an LPN/LVN for the past 12 years with most of my experiences in behavioral health (inpatient psych adult pts, geriatric Alzheimer/dementia, and detox) prior to graduating from my MSN program last year. Now I am working in the ICU ( <6 months RN).

As for the interview, it was through Kiara. I didn't feel great afterward, so this acceptance was a surprised to me! 

Before applying to this program, Dominique (UTHSC rep) told me to take a chance and apply this year, so I did! Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning,

No, I haven't yet. I have been looking at apartments nonstop but I need to quit doing that until July gets here. I don't plan on getting there until July 27. My RN license is still being endorsed over to TN, so until then, I will continue working here in TX. How about you? Congratulations on the admission!!

What are you guys price range? If anyone need any recommendations I would recommend these areas for safety reasons and less crime. 
 

-Cordova, midtown, Germantown, olive branch, and cooper/young area. Crime is everywhere yes, but these area are some good areas to look into. Any other questions please feel free to ask.. 

I also just received another email about a second interview. Pray for me please ?
