UVM DEPN 2016 Cohort

Published

Hello, I formed this thread for students applying to the University of Vermont's Direct Entry Program in Nursing 2016 as a means for potential applicants to communicate about admission decisions, future plans, and general prospective nurse questions and insights.

"The direct entry program begins with 36.5 credits and includes 820 clinical hours of full-time, year-round coursework to prepare for the NCLEX-RN exam and gain registered nurse licensure in the State of Vermont. Students then continue into the Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The 3 1/2-year Doctor of Nursing Practice curriculum includes 69.5-76 credits of coursework and 750-820 clinical hours, including 240 practicum hours."

My name is Sarah and I applied to the DENP on the Primary Care track.

I hope there are students out there! Hello? Anyone?

I spoke to admissions today. They said they hope to send out decisions electronically via at the end of this week or latest, mid next week.

Hi there, Sarah -

I have applied to DEPN FNP track and am awaiting decisions much like yourself. Did you hear from KC that decisions are being emailed or updated in the Graduate application profile? I always assumed they'd be coming via USPS. Good luck and let us know what you hear!

Hey Murphy,

Yes, she mentioned that we would receive an email indicating that there is a decision posted online. I assume we will follow a link offered by the email. Fingers crossed!

Hi Murphy,

No, nothing yet. I'm on the west coast. I guess they have left for the day out there...and no email. sigh.

I applied for FNP and am on the west coast too, and so nervous! Currently on the waitlist at UMASS, but hoping UVM comes through positive!

I live in Vermont and I also applied for the DEPN-FNP track. The last time I heard from KC was 4 weeks ago when she said they're reviewing the apps. No words yet from that point onward.

Well, another week gone. Hopefully we will hear next week! Stay strong. Anybody else have other program options yet or banking on this one? Also, do you know how many spots they have and/or how many applicants there were this year?

Hi there,

Has anybody heard back? I was admitted last week and still trying to make the decision. Anyone in the same boat?
