University of Toledo Graduate Entry CNL program

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

I recently applied to the University of Toledo Graduate Entry nursing program for those individuals with a non-nursing bachelor's degree to obtain their RN after successful completion of the NCLEX exam while also obtaining a MSN and a Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) certification. I am patiently awaiting a decision and my anxiety is setting in so I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has applied to the same program or others? If so, have you heard anything? Are you willing to share credentials?

Specializes in nursing education.

Just to clarify, clinical nurse specialists (CNS) are nurses with an MSN and expertise in a specialty. CNL are generalists, not specialists.

Thank you for the clarification but I knew that, they didnt have the appropriate category to choose from when I created the post so I had to pick something similar.

The appropriate category would be Post Graduate Nursing Student: MSN/DNP/DNSc/PhD

because CNL is not an APRN.

I know I am so anxious!! That is why I made this post, hoping to meet other individuals that share my anxiety. I was told there were were close to 70 applicants. Which isn't bad odds. Do you mind sharing gpa or gre scores? If thats to personal I understand. How do you think you did on essay?

The fact that you and I are the only ones on the site makes me feel better :)

My prerequisite gpa is a 3.7 but my undergrad is just above a 3.0. I think I Got a 155 in verbal section and did poorly in math because I hadn't taken a math course since high school. Maybe a 135? Then I got a 4.0 in writing. I think I did okay on my essay. I have traveled a lot and done some pretty cool things since I graduated from undergrad in 2009. Hoping diverse experience will be a plus.

What about you?
