1. UCSF MEPN 2016

   FutureNPisMe replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

   It's actually (and quite ironically) come down to Columbia and UCSF for me (the DNP program is really messing with my head haha). UPenn's program is stellar though - you just can't go wrong with that choice. In many ways, I do think it's the safest b...

2. 2016 UPenn BSN/MSN Applicants

   FutureNPisMe replied to Bell427's topic in School Programs

   I'm wondering the same thing. I'm really confused on that front, in particular. Columbia's website parallels what you're saying, but I think we need to contact the Admissions office to confirm if this is true. If the first 15 months of the entire pro...

   FutureNPisMe replied to Bell427's topic in School Programs

   That's really helpful -- thank you so much for sharing this information! If Columbia's MSN portion is generalist, then I don't think this would be a good fit for me. I would want to start focusing on my intended speciality as soon as possible (I fear...

   I definitely share similar sentiments about what future me may potentially want, which is the DNP. Have you already committed to Columbia? Do you know if the MSN is generalist or if we get to start focusing on our speciality after the first year?

   FutureNPisMe replied to Bell427's topic in School Programs

   The MSN portion at Columbia is non-speciality? Really? Is that only true for those in the MDE/DNP track or also for those just in the MSN track? If so, I don't know how I feel about that. I would definitely like to focus on my intended specialty (PMH...

   @occrn1! No worries - I ran into a similar problem of not being able to respond at first, either. Yes, I am on the UCSF MEPN group. How do I find you?

   I am so glad you posted this! Honestly, I am having the EXACT same concerns. I would love to connect with you and talk because the DNP is a huge draw for me. I really would love to just complete this all in one go and be done with it in 4 years.

   @guest2016 Ah, thank you! It finally showed up for me :) Btw, I got your PM just now but can't seem to reply to it for some strange reason (didn't want you to think I was ignoring you hehe) :)

   I am very curious about scholarships as well! I haven't heard anything from them yet...

    FutureNPisMe replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

    Wonderful! I mean UCSF and UPenn are my top two choices. I'm leaning more toward UCSF though. What about you?

11. UCSF MEPN 2016

    FutureNPisMe replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

    Anyone in the PMHNP track? Is anyone debating between UCSF and another school? I can't PM -- what's the FB group called exactly?

12. UCSF MEPN 2016

    FutureNPisMe replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

    Hang in there friends! You all have amazing options to choose from, even if UCSF is not in the mix anymore. Their program is really small, which is why they can't choose everyone who was called for an interview even though every single person who int...

    FutureNPisMe replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

    I'm feeling the same way! What are your thoughts on UPenn -- if you don't mind sharing your thought process, why would you ultimately choose UCSF over Penn (I ask because I am in a similar boat)? :)

    FutureNPisMe replied to Bell427's topic in School Programs

    What are you guys' thought processes for picking one over the other? Penn is really strong. My inclination would be Penn over Columbia but I'd love to hear what your guys' thoughts are on each!

    FutureNPisMe replied to FutureNPisMe's topic in School Programs

    Thanks for sharing this valuable info! To add to this, I know that those in the CRNA track need to work in between the BSN and the MSN, so that's one that definitely cannot continue straight into the MSN track without getting some experience first. ...
