Thinking about applying to UIC's GEP program. Anybody here applied and was accepted? What were your stats?
My stats: 3.2 Overall GPA/3.5 Sci BA in Sociology. Office Manager in home health care, tech in a medical equipment co, medical assistant (no cert) in dr's office and later office manager there. Volunteering in Nursing Home around 120 hours...
From what I can tell on their website, after completing the NCLEX, you immediately start the master portion of the program. Is this correct?
Heya there, so for my session there was only 7 of us. I'm not sure about the 15th, but it would be great to know. I think Sitten is the only one on here that went to that session. I was going to ask the professors but opted not to. Although I was told they interview on average 25 applicants for the PMHNP 12-13 spots. So 50/50 chance pretty much.
Who told you that they accept 12-13 PMHNP? Was it from the PMHNP faculty? That's great news because I thought they were only accepting a small few.
@katherinewerner That's great!! I'm not feeling quite as confident about my interview, but I guess time will tell! Just for reference I was informed there will be 7 spots for Acute-adult and 12 spots for Primary-adult!
Just got done with mine. Went well! I was surprised not many people that interviewed in my batch were on all nurses. Like none... At least the ones I asked . .... Anyways, we were all out of state candidates (the biggest bunch). And the director who was my interviewer told me that she doesn't know when the results will be out ... But she said in may.
I am glad interviews went well! I also had my interview today-and it went well! My interviewer was so nice, answered many questions about the program (including how next cohort 2015 will be MS generalist, transition to DNP, and difficulties getting jobs as an rn without BSN), and said we should hear about admissions decisions by May 10. Good luck to anyone who still has to interview!

No one should be a nurse that is applying to this program. Unless I'm reading your post incorrectly.

I was there. Which one were you? I was wearing the navy blue pant suit, named Elissa.
