To Beryl,
Can you clarify what you mean by resources for the admission process? I think the UCSF MEPN informational sessions are very useful, so if you can, go to one of them, where you can ask all your questions. You can also email any professor in your specialty and ask questions. I talked with one on the phone before I applied. In addition, i think you should talk to as many RNs and advanced practice nurses as you can to get a good idea about the field; this will help you be more informed and authentic in your essay.
Hope that helps... oh, you can also ask more specific questions here and i'll try to answer them when i have time :)

Seemed my nursing school was always scrambling for instructors and often settling for less-than-qualified people. Such a shame.

Thank you SO much for this blog.

I am finishing up my undergrad at SF State and planning to apply to the MEPN at UCSF to become a nurse midwife. I have no nursing background and am a bit overwhelmed about what courses to take to get in. Or how I could pay the tuition if accepted.

I have read that it is highly competitive to get in and am currently taking bio and plan and getting a degree in whatever comes quickest around the required courses. Possibly psych--as 15 years ago I was a psych major.

Can you suggest any resources for admission process as i could not figure out too much from the catalog.

Keep blogging and best of luck to you!
