Is there anyone lurking who is planning to apply to the 2011 program?
I have spent the last 12 years in financial marketing/communications and am excited to try and change paths into nursing. I am currently taking my prerequisite courses at city college- stats and anatomy/physiology- and going in for the GRE Saturday. I'm volunteering at a children's hospital, which is causing me to consider the pediatric nurse practitioner track... I know UCSF is very competitive and it's a long-shot for someone like me to get in, but I feel like I have to try! If it doesn't happen next year, then I'll just keep building my volunteer experience and re-apply. Also on my mind is that if for some miracle I were to get in how I would pay for it.
But enough about me... what are some other candidates' takes on preperation, interests, anxieties, etc?
To those who received interviews, congratulations!! I still have not received anything in the mail, and wondering especially for those who do have an interview- would you mind sharing your general stats? Thanks so much!
Congratulations to all who have received the good news! I was also invited to interview, and this is my first time applying to the MEPN program. So for those of you who are first timers, there is hope!
BTW, is anyone else applying for the APPN specialty?
Congratulations! I have an interview on Jan 21st also. Do you live in SF? I would love to get together to practice interview questions. I applied to the Cardiovascular Nursing Track; how about you?
I also have an interview for the APPN specialty. So excited! I'm interviewing on the 28th... you? Do we all interview the same day? Also, do you know how many slots are available for Peds? I had heard at one of the info sessions that there are typically 12 slots per year, except for a couple of the more impacted specialties. Would love to know how many are interviewing. Good luck!
