UTEP FNP Fall 2017

Published

Hello!

Anyone know how long before we hear anything? I check my status daily and it's under review. So nerve wracking

The interview process is usually over a few days and you will be allowed to pick a time that's convenient for you to interview. If you're local you go in person, if out of town it's over the phone. After interviews decisions go out within the next 2 weeks.

In terms of educational experience, it really depends on the course. The first few semesters are the standard courses all NP tracks and other MSN tracks take together like nursing theories and Health Policy. These are really just courses that have you do reading assignments, then engage in discussion boards with your classmates, as well as a few papers.

Once you get into the meat of the program some courses will use pre-recorded lectures and self directed reading/learning. There will also be on campus visits where you tie a lot of the stuff you learn together and do patient simulations and skills labs, which are fantastic.

All that said it's been almost 3 years since I finished and there is a new director of the program (who is an amazing NP) so things might be different.

Thanks for all the wonderful information! How often did you have to meet on campus?

Wow, thanks for the info! I was getting worried that I may have missed a phone call or email, so I called today and was told they are still reviewing and we should start hearing something back around June 23!

Specializes in Internal Medicine.

On campus visits are usually once a semester once you start the clinical portion. The first year or so you basically go for the graduate orientation and then you won't go back for another year or so.

Yes, I was also told by the nursing advisor that total campus visit for Post Masters FNP is only 2 times, which is so much better than every semester visit.
