Hey, guys I didn't see a thread for this new application cycle. How many of you guys have submitted your applications? Have you heard anything back?

Sure. I was accepted into Vanderbilt University for their MSN/NP Program. I choose Vanderbilt's program primarily because it offers the NP specialty I want to pursue and its a 2 year program for the MSN and the specialty NP year. If I were to do it through Western I would only be getting my MSN and then I would have to do additional schooling after that for my NP. I wouldn't mind the extra time for the NP but to my knowledge they only offer the FNP and that is not the specialty I am interested in. 

Thanks for sharing. My understating is it will take 3 ( 2+1) years program at Western to get your NP. I think the are offering ENP and FNP. I am interested in FNP and thinking to accept the offer unless otherwise if I accepted elsewhere with more attractive program.

did anyone start the FB?

I didn’t see any replies, did someone start an admitted students page yet?

I don’t think it’s been created yet. I’m going to look at last years thread and ask for some guidance. Maybe I get a response. Unless anyone else knows how to get it started.

I found this on last years thread, “Congratulations!! The FB group has not been created yet. The previous cohort usually creates the FB group once they receive the roster of all students.” I also saw a comment that stated the FB group is created around July/August.

Hello! 

I’m actually in cohort 2 at WesternU right now, and basically we ended up having 2 FB groups. One FB group I actually created not too long after being accepted (I was very excited and eager to meet others in my cohort LOL). Then closer to the beginning of fall semester, the cohort above us created the official cohort 2 FB page with some of their cohort included; so we could ask them questions, reach out for help, and they could post any announcements from clubs and the college of graduate nursing as we were getting started at WesternU. I hope this helps!

Okay, maybe I can create one then. I’m assuming we would be cohort 3 right? ?

[Ean04]

So I went ahead and created a FB group just in case anyone is interested in joining. I think it’s a great way to get to know each other, vent, or just ask questions. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/445824529977090/permalink/445826326643577/

You can also find it by searching WesternU MSN-E Class of 2023 - Cohort #3 only

I am not too tech savvy so let me know if any of you have any suggestions or want to manage the group ?

Yes you all would be cohort 3! Let me know if I can answer any other questions, and congratulations!

Why we are cohort 3? I thought we are the first group accoted and we will be cohort 1?

The cohort # identifies the entire class, so for my class we are all cohort 2, regardless of when we were accepted. The 2 means we are the second cohort to go through the newly formatted MSN-E program at WesternU. And since you are the year after ours, your whole cohort will be called cohort 3. Hope that helps!
