Hey everyone,

Just wanted to start this page for all UoM Fall of 2020 prospective F.N.P. students, so we can stay up to date with any news from anyone involved!

Hi! I applied back in September when the cycle opened. Last I heard was mid November saying my application was under review. From what I’ve seen in previous threads looks like we’ll start to hear end of January. I hope we can all get in!

Hey! I submitted my application last Friday and received an email that same day that they were reviewing my application.

Does anyone know if it is possible to work full-time while doing the program?

Hi, thanks for making this page! I just applied also. I’ve been told by someone in the part time program that it is virtually impossible to work during their full time because it’s accelerated and really intensive. Would like to hear more thoughts from someone currently in the program though.

have any of you guys heard back?

I’ve heard you can’t work bs it’s so intense but that it eases up as the program goes on. I’ll be relocating for the program so I’m hoping to find a PRN job and pick up couple shifts a month.

I'm having a hard time finding a PRN job in Miami without any previous nursing experience. Residency programs seem to be the only way to start working as a new RN; not sure how feasible it is to balance the full-time FNP and a residency, though.

Does anyone know if it is possible to "transfer" this application to the Spring 2021 part-time curriculum? I don't want this to hurt my chances of getting accepted, but I also cannot skip on getting work experience as an RN these next three semesters.

Thank you everyone! Glad we have this page to help each other out.

Yeah I found it hard to get a PRN job without having 2 years experience. My first RN job made me do a residency and it was really intense the first 6 weeks. I hope you find something though! Why not find a job now and then switch to PRN once the program starts? I’ve thought of that too but I’m too scared to ask.

Hey all!

I am waiting for one more recommendation letter before I submit application. I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone!

Hey!

Has anyone heard back from the school? If so, how long did it take from when you submitted application?

Thank you!

I have not heard anything back yet and it’s so nerve wracking!!!! Hate this waiting game. Do you know how many positions are available for the class?

No ? I have that same question.

I see that the program takes applications up until April 1st. I have not submitted my entire application, but I plan to do it next week. Does the program accept until they are full or do they wait until everyone has applied to accept? Does anyone have any insight?
