Application Steps
Application for MSN, ADN-MSN Bridge, and PM
Step 1: Prepare your Essay Responses and Resume.
- Essay 1: Please write a well-crafted statement about your desire to become a nurse-midwife or a nurse practitioner. Include information about yourself and your professional goals as a nurse-midwife or nurse practitioner. Please type separately and limit yourself to 300-500 words.
- Essay 2: Graduate education is rigorous and from the experiences of Frontier students it is clear that full time study requires a commitment of 40 hours a week while part time study requires 30 hours per week. This will require adjustments to your current work and family life. It is important that you take time to consider how you will integrate graduate school into your current situation. Please write a well crafted statement about how you plan to fit the rigors and time commitment of graduate education into your life situation of work and family.
- Rename your Essay Responses document as follows: (I.e. 'FirstName_LastName_Date_EssayResponses')
- Rename your Resume as follows: (I.e. 'FirstName_LastName_Date_CV')
