University of West Florida (UWF) FNP - Spring 2025

Published

Hello Anyone! I am currently awaiting acceptance into the UWF FNP Spring 2025 Cohort. Is there anyone else a sitting duck with me? I am beyond nervous but also excited to get this journey started. A little about me: I live in the Pensacola area and currently work as a full-time M-F Clinical RN. I spent my first years as an RN working PCU and Covid Pts. I dabbled a bit of time as a Circulator in the OR and now work in Oncology. Good Luck to anyone else waiting with me.

OMG, I am so glad that someone created a thread 🙂! I am awaiting acceptance as well. I live in Jacksonville and started my career as a LPN. I spent 3 years as a LPN before getting my ASN in 2020 and now I am currently finishing my BSN in December. Cutting it close but the enrollment counselor assured me that I could apply for Spring. I've worked in many different specialties but for the past 2 years I've been working at a Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital. Goodluck to everyone! The waiting is already killing me, especially since my bachelors isn't officially completed.

@NurseNesha2024 I am so happy there is someone else out there with me. I understand about the BSN because I am counting the days until graduation in December. I originally wanted to wait until Summer or next fall to apply. However, I work closely with a former teacher (not this school) and NP who said the first year is like basic (harder) courses and I should not wait. So I bit the bullet and applied for Spring. I didn't think the waiting would kill me so badly. The only bad thought is if I don't get in for early acceptance I have to do this until mid-November 😩

Wow so we are in the same boat! I agree, I hope they give me a decision in a few weeks. I initially was going to wait till Summer or fall but it kept weighing on me to go ahead and keep going. Especially since I'm already in the groove of being in school.

@NurseNesha2024 yes, that was the same mentality. Keep Going! My advisor told me I should hear something between Oct 4-9. So not too long before we know.

Hey!! I live in Mobile, been nursing since 2019 experience in med-surg/tele, psych, and LTC. I'm also waiting to hear a decision ! I've been sitting on pins and needles. I finish my BSN program in Dec. at UWF as well, and I did applied elsewhere. So I'm waiting on decisions from both programs. However, I'm already familiar with UWF and their program is a bit more affordable! 🙂

Hi @NrseNae19! I'm curious how they are calculating our GPA since we haven't completed our BSN yet? 🤔 The affordability was definitely something that grabbed my attention. Have you heard anything about the FNP program? I wish you the best!

I'm thinking maybe they're using whatever is already calculated from the unofficial transcript. & I haven't heard any personal reviews on the program, but I think the most challenging part will be trying to find practicum sites. & good luck to you too. my counselor told me yesterday we should be hearing something soon! *fingers crossed

That makes sense. I've been busting my butt, making all As in my BSN thus far! The wait is horrible LOL. I hope we all hear good news soon!

@NrseNae19 welcome! My advisor said hopefully something between 10/4-10/9 so I am stuck on refreshing haha. How do you like UWF since you are already enrolled there? I like UWF for the affordability part. When looking to other schools I know they offer skills labs and such for their FNP students and I don't believe this school does. Does that justify $20k+ no not really. Good Luck to you and hopefully we will all be in touch and starting 2025 together!
