Hey all! I just received my acceptance into the University of Cincinnati's online FNP for Spring of 2017! I can't believe it! I was wondering if anyone else here will be joining me? I'd love to connect before classes start.

I would like by o know what the GPA was and other such. Info.
Hey zanfelhor,
I got your pm! The site won't allow me to answer back for some reason. I am unsure if the requirements are different for psych. I am doing Family and I got in with a cumulative GPA of 3.6. They didn't even look at just my nursing GPA. I was a little worried, because science was my lowest GPA breakdown, but my advisor told me that they really look at mathematics and mine was a 3.9. My friend got into the family program as well and his cummulative GPA was a 2.7. Just have good references in place and really talk up your experience and how it will benefit you in the program. You'll do great!
I also can't PM. I have 4 years RN experience. I have my BSN from a state University and a B.S. in Psychology from a different state University. I had about a 3.8 GPA in my ADN program and a 4.0 in my two bachelor degrees. I had strong references from one of the doctors I work for, my office manager, and a professor I T.A.'d for and did research with. My personal statement was probably good because I came from poverty and NP's bring access to healthcare for the impoverished communities like mine, and I discussed that.
I honestly don't know how they make the decision. You could apply at Maryville University. They are fully accredited and do not have an application fee. Maryville was another place where I applied. If you go to the school website at Maryville or UC and put in to get more information, an enrollment advisor will contact you and discuss personalized options with you.

They will send it via email!
That is awesome! I think a congratulations to you is in order! I love it there so far!
I also applied to Maryville and I was accepted, but I chose UC because I liked the thought of a state university better than a for-profit. My friend attends Maryville's NP program and she loves it! She would highly recommend!
I think my personal statement had a lot to do with my acceptance as well. I talked a lot about how my role as an NP would positively impact my community, specifically the more impoverished areas.
