University of Toledo Graduate Entry CNL program

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?

Yes im hoping that is a good sign!

But my undergrad gpa is a 3.0 as well and my prerequisite gpa is a 4.0. I did horrible on my gre. I got a 145 verbal, 135 math, and 3 writing. I have 6 years experience in healthcare so im hoping that helps. I think I did pretty well on my essay and I even wrote a letter to admissions committee in a sort of last effort to sell myself I guess because Im a little worried about my gre scores. I know UT is really big on diversity so I think you will be fine there. You did really well on the writing portion of gre, but I could tell you are a talented writer after reading the article you posted on here. If accepted will you be commuting or do you live in Toledo area? Do you know about when we should hear something back?

I just spoke to ***** the graduate nursing advisor and he said it is going to be April 1st until decisions come back. There were like 63 aplicants. So I guess it is 50 percent chance.

Hello, I have also applied for this program for the fall 2014. Does anyone know when approximately we should expect to hear back? My online status is still reading "complete awaiting decision", so I assume the committee has not met yet.

Has anyone heard if they have been accepted yet or still receiving awaiting status on application?

My online status has also been changed to "applicant acceptance", although I have not received anything in the mail either. Will be on the lookout this week!

Hey everyone! I just received my email. Has anyone else found out? If so, are you going to commit? I am interested in finding out the process of becoming an entry level NP by doing the cert program right after. Has anyone inquired about this route? Also, if anyone is interested in rooming. Please feel free to email [email protected]

Best,

Mye

I am going to commit. I have also inquired about the NP route. It is one year of class work plus a ton of clinical hours. I think we should start a Facebook group for those accepted and intending to enroll. If I have time I will try to do it tonight

Great. That would be cool. Yes, who did you speak with about it. I thought it was 2 years. The website says 4 semesters :-( 2 falls and 2 springs. I hope you're right. A year would be awesome.

As I understood it, he told me that it was a year full of classes and another year of clinical experience. So 1 year in the classroom and another in the field.
