University of San Francisco MSN-CNL for non-nurses

[sbstaples12]

Hi,

I will be applying to the MSN Clinical Nurse Leader for Non-nurses for Spring 2015. I did not see any other threads.....I am looking to hear from those who are familiar with this program and could offer some advise. Mainly, I love the sound of the program (bust it out in 2 years) and the city - and I think I have a good shot of getting accepted (BS in Nutrition w/ 3.85 GPA, worked for 3 years as RD and should have great references and all that jazz), went to the info session and I did ask "do the graduates feel that it was worth the money? Do they have trouble paying it off? Are they generally happy with the decision to spend $85,000 plus living expenses of SF?" The admission reps obviously had great things to say, and the pass rate on NCLEX is outstanding, but I want to hear from you guys!!! This is a huge decision as I am married, own a house and have animals (2 dogs which will have to come with me plus cats that will go somewhere....), I live in Red Bluff about 3 1/2 hrs north of SF. Any info would be so helpful! Thank you!

I have three beds for rent in Mill Valley for those who are interested in looking for a place. It's in the north bay, though. Congrats to those who got in. I recommend studying now for your classes.

@Kurin

How do you suggest we study? I'm only on the waitlist, but to be safe, I have been reviewing my anatomy diagrams.

@curls4jacqui why are you studying?! I'm nervous because I haven't opened a school book in 5 years.

Has anyone on the waitlist heard anything.. either way?

[Curls4jacqui]

I also have not reviewed anatomy in 3 years, so I figured if I needed to warm up my brain, that is where I would begin.... No word from the waitlist. The letter said the week of Jan 5th, that is next week!

Hello. My Patho/Pharm. teacher name is Lemos. Do you think that the study guide book will be useful?

[Stellab99]

Just following up...anybody on the waitlist hear anything yet?

[tnpsf]

i got a call today. did you @stellab99?

[Curls4jacqui]

I was waitlist and not admitted. Notified via the online application.

[Stellab99]

Huh. I have not received a phone call. My online application states that it is still under review. So, I guess the waiting continues! Congrats tnpsf. Curls4jacqui, I hope you reapply!

[tnpsf]
