University of South Alabama FNP Spring 2017

Has anyone else applied to this program/start date?

Do you anticipate getting accepted or why not?

Where else did you apply or get accepted into?

Specializes in critical care.
Thanks so much for this information. I actually have no idea what Yosemite is, I am new to the Mac world. My Macbook is fairly new but hopefully it is not preprogrammed with Yosemite because I would hate to have to purchase another computer.

Also, I appreciate your feedback on the program. How many classes did you typically take per semester while working full time?

I am worried about overload.

Yosemite is just the name of the operating system. It may be different now, but I didn't have any issues at all when I kept my older operating system.

I took 2 classes my first-third semester. Then I added the cardiovascular subspecialty - so my load increased to 3 classes my 4th, 5th, 6th semester. This semester (7th) I have 3 as well with the policy class (NU 610). I recommend doubling up in the beginning with the didactics before you take your clinical rotations as those are papers and open book tests. Much easier than the closed book tests you take once you go into your track-specific classes. The last semester it is nice to focus on your track course and begin studying for boards. I am tired of papers, etc. and this policy class is a pain! :facepalm:

Hi everyone! I am applying to the BSN-DNP and BSN-MSN for psych. I am a recent BSN graduate with only about 1.5 years of experience (half in psych and half in the OR) but also have a BS in psychology with relevant volunteer and research experience while I was working on my psychology degree. I am not sure what nursingCAS is going to calculate for my GPA but I project that I should end up with above a 3.5. I wanted to see if any of you could give me advice on the application process and if you have any insight on my chances to getting into one of the programs. Thanks in advance!

I think you have a very good chance at getting in. I too had about 1.5-2 years of experience when I applied. A 3.5 gpa is very good. Apply, you will be fine :)

Thanks TokyoD_RN for your response and your positivity! I am currently finishing up my nursingCAS application. Do you remember how long your personal statement was?

Did you all submit a CV or resume? If you submitted a CV how in depth was it

I just started the program a few weeks ago. I submitted a fairly lengthy CV as part of my application.

Did you do bullet points or more paragraphs under? I'm struggling to find the perfect medium

I believe you just upload your existing CV but if you're referring to how my CV is constructed it would be a bullet point format.

Any updates on how macbooks worked for the new students?

I am starting the AGNP program Fall 2017 and was wondering if the newest mac is ok to use for the program. I am a MAC only person and would like to use my current Mac throughout the program. TIA
