Good luck. I plan to apply in January 2012 for the summer and the fall 2012 to give myself a greater chance to get accepted. Please keep us abreast of your progress. Have you heard anything about the program from others? Do they do a good job of finding you clinical sites to complete your hours or do you have to find your own? Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

My name is Rosa. Did you get into USA. I am waiting. I send all my stuff to Nursing CAS.

For everyone accepted, would you mind telling me about your nursing experience? I recently obtained my RN license, but I'm interested in the BSN-DNP program at USA. Thanks! :)

I've applied to this same program for Fall 2012 and am waiting for a decision.

I wonder though, how was your experience with interactions with the head of this program, Dr. KW? I found her very rude and impatient with my questions online and this concerns me because she is the lead professor on many of the psych np courses!

I'd REALLY appreciate your thoughts!!

[rasmataz]

. . . . oops. My questions was to chingy1206 regarding the USA master's psych np program.

Thanks!

I also applied for the Psych BSN-DNP program. I am anxiously awaiting a decision. To make matters worse, I just received a phone call from kw regarding my psychiatric experience. I emailed her back, which she asked me to do and gave her the details (the same details that was in my application materials...), and her reply back was "Thanks for the update. Take care." AHH!! That could not make me feel any worse lol. My stomach is in even more knots than it already was! Really hoping we get letters soon...

[CassB]

Just received an email that stated decision letters are delayed and won't be mailed out until Friday, April 20th now. More waiting lol. It's nice that they updated us though. :)

[Ms. Nikki, ASN, BSN, MSN, APRN]

Good luck to you guys. I am in the program (BSN-DNP Psych @ USA) and its really good. CassB, don't fret. When I applied I was contacted about a similar thing, but here I am. Mistake it not, USA is highly competitive though. I have a psych NP w/several yrs & good grades that I consult with occasionally for advice and he has applied to USA twice and knows others how've applied 4-5x w/o acceptance. If u get-in, it's because you're the creme-de-la-creme; and I'm not bias at all. It was my honor. Good luck again to you!

[CassB]

Thanks lildrekie. That makes me feel better lol. Can I ask how many years of psych nsg experience you had before acceptance? I only have two years...which I know is the minimum they ask for. I've only done psych ever since I graduated. I have a competitive GPA so hoping that may help me out with my lack of experience. We will see!

[Ms. Nikki, ASN, BSN, MSN, APRN]

Sure. 2-yrs full-time at Charge Nurse level.
