Hi everyone, I'm opening up this forum as applications have opened for Fall 2025. Hoping we could use this platform as a way to send updates, ask questions about the applications, etc! Has anyone submitted yet? ☺️

@Mmo9 For GEPN or Chaminade? I'm  missing my psychology and PHYL 142 lab class. I'm planning on finishing these classes in the Spring semester. Hopefully, my work experience will help me stand out. 

For GEPN. Good luck with the rest of your classes! Did you submit you application to Chaminade already?

Hi everyone! I submitted my application for the GEPN-MS-APHN track. I am praying and hoping for an acceptance letter in January. This is the only program I am applying to. 😅

Hi welcome! Congrats on submitting! When did you submit your grad school and NCAS application? Is this your first time applying to the GEPN program?

Thank you! I submitted my grad school application on 18 September and my NCAS application on 12 October. This is my first time applying to the GEPN program. I'm excited to hear about everyone's journey and backgrounds.

Hi @Charlie_Em24, are you applying to other nursing schools as well? Good luck to the both of us! Are you originally from Hawaii?

Hello everyone! I'm trying to apply if it's not too late!  I started my application on NursingCas but have a question.  How do you know which program to apply to on the graduate site?   It doesn't seem to coincide with the program dates.  Also, I thought we would select which specific program we're interested in like on NCas.  Can someone please help?   TIA

Hi, that's the correct program you would apply for the graduate program.

Thank you, I finally figured it out.  Just the deadline dates threw me off.  
Good luck to us all 🙏

Hi! I got an email from the UH Graduate Division saying they received my application a week later from the day I sent my application for the GEPN-MS program. Did any of you guys received an email like this a week after, or did you receive it right away or a few days later from sending your application. Thanks.

Hey, I got mine within the week just to confirm that they received my application. I also emailed the GEPN program to make sure that my application is complete.

No, UH's GEPN program is the only program I am applying to. I'm originally from New York but we love living on Oahu! Applications are closed and we are a few months away from finding out our admission status. Good luck to you as well!

Hi! I received mine the same day that I turned in my application back in September.

Is anyone as nervous as I am? I know they emailed stating decisions would be sent toward the end of January but I just keep hoping we will find out sooner!

Hi! I am sooo nervous as well, especially since it is already January!  Keeping my fingers crossed for the both of us!  What program did you apply to and did you apply to any other nursing programs?
