UA MEPN 2018

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hey everyone! I know the application deadline is a ways off, but I just wanted to get a forum started for those of us who plan on applying to the MEPN program for 2018! I have all my prerequisites finished and just have to take the HESI. I already took the TEAS for some other schools and scored very well, so I'm not too concerned about HESI as I hear it is a much easier exam without any science content required by UA. Has anyone already taken it? What did you think and how did you prepare? My last 60 units GPA is a 3.80 and my prerequisite GPA is a 3.96. I'm a little nervous about the interview as I have heard in the past it is very short- about ten minutes of talking time. I'll have to figure out how to eloquently but succinctly express my preparation for nursing school and interest in the field. Good luck everyone!!

For those of you who applied from out of state, how did you go about scheduling your HESI exam?

I'm trying to get accepted to MEPN program in university of Arizona. I'm studying for HESI A2 test. the only parts I need to study for this school is Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and General Knowledge, and Grammar. I got a HESI A2 SECRETS study guide from amazon. it has a yellow cover. but I don't know if it is enough or not. also I dont know how can I improve the english part of the exam which is reading , vocabulary, etc.can you give me some tips? thank you

I'm interested in the MEPN program and wondering what happened with those of you using medical cannabis--azpaaz and LWeeks....I tried to send a PM but since I just joined I'm not able to. If either of you see this and would be willing to update on what happened or send me a message I would really appreciate it!!

Hi mjjg

I believe the new rule for MEPN is that you need to test clean 5 or 6 weeks before the start of school. I stopped using about 2 weeks before my interview because my carc expired and I knew I'd have to stop using if I was accepted. You can't be in the program and use medical marijuana because most of your clinical rotations will require clean drug tests. I'd say a good rule of thumb is to stop using by the end of January in case you get accepted to make sure you test clean. Good luck, the program is really intense but I'm liking it so far.

I took practice tests online and scored in the low 90s if I remember correctly and it was good enough to get in
