Does anyone have any information on accreditation? I'm going to call them tomorrow to ask when they expect to be accredited by CCNE? I'm super worried about it now and don't want to accept the offer unless they give some reassurance.

Hi! I was worried about this too. I looked at the CCNE website to see what their requirements are for receiving accreditation. It seems that they cannot schedule the site evaluation until 1 academic year has passed with students in the program… Meaning about now! I’m sure they are on it. In a previous all nurses blog for UOP there is an outline that was apparently provided by the school on their timeline for receiving CCNE. They hope to have accreditation prior to the matriculation of the first class.

I think I am planning to attend the program. Thought I’d give myself a couple days to make a logical decision without impulsivity and excitement. A small concern about CCNE accreditation, but the program is 24 months long. So they have that time span to gain accreditation before this cohort graduates. That’s roughly until the tail end of 2024. Seeing that UOP is an established university, MSN programs are lucrative, and it has other health professional programs, and location near the Bay Area, I would say they have great financial incentive to get accredited properly and fast. I think one also good factor is that there is a previous cohort which provides existing data to provide immediate feedback should they be denied and an easy fix to resubmit, all why we are doing the first year. I am planning to investigate the CCNE accreditation process later this week to see whats the cycle of reapplication (I.e. 6 months or yearly basis) should they be denied based on their program’s for the first cohort. Apologies for any typos long night at work. Don’t care to fix it LOL

Please let me know if you find out when they are able to reapply if denied accreditation this time around ?

I think that I am going forward with it. Even if they do not get accreditation by the time we matriculate we are still eligible to sit for the NCLEX in California. Other states I’m not sure about.

From speaking with admissions, there are specific and multiple milestones in the accreditation process for which UOP has to meet. This gives me some reassurance as it means that there won't be any surprises about approval or disapproval. Better to have multiple check-in like milestones in order to rectify any issues before a decision is made vs a overall submission at the end without any continual feedback.

I accepted my admissions earlier today ?

Congrats! I'm likely to accept on Friday.

Hi!! Congrats to everyone that has been accepted thus far! I just recently submitted my app. Does anyone happen to remember how long it took for them to invite you interview after submitting?

Nurseofthefuture · Aug 17, 2022

1 week from application complete email to invitation. Please keep in mind this was for early admit, so timeline might be sped up.

Has anyone created a facebook page?

I created one a few days ago. University of the Pacific ELMS-Nursing 2023-2025.
Excited to meet everyone and get this journey started!
