UTMB MSN FNP acceptance fall 2005

[dring]

I just got my acceptance letter for the University of Texas Medical Branch MSN FNP program for fall 2005!! I'm very excited!!

Just wondering if anyone else has been accepted. I've also applied to TWU Houston for MSN FNP fall 2005 program. I've not received an acceptance or rejection letter. My rationale is that they've sent out acceptance letters and are waiting to see if all the applicants accept. If someone doesn't accept the position (which I doubt) then I'm maybe the next choice. I really do not know!

Dring,

I guess you are one of the 8 or 9 in the class according to Lana with the FNP program. I inquired about this program several weeks ago, but haven't received the packet of info yet. Are you in the actual program itself or are you taking the several courses required for the MSN class? I have my ADN, was actually inquiring about my BSN and she spoke to me about the FNP which is not much longer than the BSN. Came across your posting and thought I'd get some feedback. Hope it's going well for you.

Hello!

Yes, I am in the MSN/FNP program. I have a BSN from the University of Tennessee and am currently working on obtaining my MSN FNP certification. This is an excellent program and very well organized. The MSN is incorporated into the FNP program. My educational plan consists of eight semesters. I will obtain a MSN and will be eligible to take the FNP certification exam.

This is my first semester. I am taking theory and advanced pathophysiology.

This program is 8 semesters long. The first three semesters are part-time and all online. The fourth semester you only take one class (Advanced health assessment) but you are at the school for classes and you also have clinicals, which the coordinators told us we would be full time actually. My advisor set up my plan for the eight semesters. She sent it to me and told me I could make changes if I wanted. I made a few adjustments on my schedule due to making a couple of friends during orientation. When you get in the program this is very important. We only had one day in orientation and we immediately grouped up due to where we lived. We have a lot of group projects throughout the program. The other girls and guys and I all have the same schedule.

I've made a lot of new friends and there are ten of us in the FNP program. Some parts seem difficult but it may be because I have four children and work full time in an ICU.

Thanks for the questions! Let me know if you have any other questions.
