UA MEPN 2020

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone,

I'm considering MEPN application to the UofA next year. I've been in touch with the advisor, Chris Sogge, for the past 3 years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and a M.Sc. in Biology from Canada . Chris said that I need a pre-req GPA of 3.7 at least to get into the program; mine is 3.3. Do I stand any chances? Did anyone get in with lower pre-req grades? I'm trying to juggle pre-req taking with a toddler. Thanks so much for your advice!

Did you guys email your interviews to thank them? I just cant exactly remember their names...? not sure if it is necessary to try to figure it out

O my gosh! I also forgot their names! ??‍♀️Do you think it's too late to send them an email now?

Uhhhhh we’re supposed to email them? ?‍♀️I’m assuming and hoping they turned in all their grading of the interviews that day so hopefully that wasn’t part of what we got scored on ?

I didn’t and I’m not sure if you have to or not ?

Good to know!

When did you graduate from the program? I am curious how much has changed in terms of rotations since then - I was unaware that it's getting harder to do the rotations, but that makes sense. How many and what rotations did you do? I can't seem to find that on the website specifically, unless the rotations are named here, and I simply thought it was a typical class instead: https://www.nursing.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/MEPN Plan of Study.PDF

Thanks!

Hi,

I graduated Aug 2019. There were at least 6 rotations in long term care, peds, psych, med-surg (longest), critical care, elective and the final independent rotation where you are pretty much working alone. Best of luck

I'm currently in the MEPN program:) otherwise I'd probably have no idea ?

They keep you so busy though, trust me you'll wish you had less clinical days by the end.

Good luck! We just started level III today so probably won't be checking in for awhile, but I'll be at interviews to answer questions afterward.

Lever 3 is the best! You learn so much! Psych sucks!

Checking my email every 10 minutes. I know it’s still probably too early ?. Praying for us all!!!

Yeah! I didn't sleep well (kept waking up all night)! hoping for tomorrow but know it may be Valentine's Day

Based off of last years applicants. Many heard back the Friday after interviews. I will compulsively be checking my email every 10 minutes tomorrow probably! ?Good luck everyone!?
