Western University MSN-E 2018

[erimar]

I haven't seen any forums about the upcoming application for next year's MSN-E program so I thought I'd start! I have a degree from University of Oregon in Human Physiology with experience as a Medical Scribe and in a variety of PT and Chiropractic settings! (Switched from PT/Kinesiology to Nursing!) I'm interested in the FNP track and am really excited about Western. Feel free to post any questions/stats/etc and join me in freaking out over apps! Are any of you attending any of the upcoming information sessions as well?

I forgot I also did a 100 hour volunteership at Kaiser to get some med-surg acute care experience.

For admitted students who accepted the offer, have you guys started submitting all your paperwork yet? Like your BLS, immunization titers, H&P, etc?? I just did the background check and it was $50!!

Hi! I am currently on the alternate list.

My stats are: Overall gpa= 3.69, I work as a CNA full-time. I also hold an expired EMT license. For volunteer work: 1.5 years at a local hospital (non-clinical patient care), 6 months as a physical therapy aide, 6 months non-clinical work at a foster home.

I would say as long as you have decent grades and some extracurriculars you should be fine. My personal advice is to really focus on that statement of purpose and interview skills. I was really nervous and felt I didn't do as well as I could have on the verbal interview and written portion.

Good Luck to you!!

Hi guys,

Have any of you alternates heard anything as of late?

[RayyRN2b]

No

For the people accepted, how long do you have to respond/confirm your spot? I bet after that period us alternates will start hearing back.

[SomedayFNP]

That period should be up by now. I think we had something like two weeks to respond. Our deposits were due by April 6 so I have no idea what's taking them so long. I really hope you guys get in!! I decided to do on campus housing and I signed a lease today that begins August 3. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys and hopefully we'll all be students there together this Fall!!!

Still no news! anyone feel like they have to put their life on hold while waiting?

[SomedayFNP]

That's how I felt while waiting to hear back from APU. It was so so frustrating.

Nothing on my end I wish we could at least know our ranking so we can see if there is even a chance of acceptance.
