1. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

   amm2061 replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate

   Hey there DG! Thanks so much for your prompt reply! Its funny timing too bc I just finished talking with an RN that pretty much told me to forget being able to get a job as an NP without previous nurse experience. I was thinking of the FNP route but ...

2. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

   amm2061 replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate

   Hey everybody! So, I've been reading through this thread for a while and thought I'd jump in for some support from you guys! I was originally going to attend UCLA's MECN program last fall after completing the pre-reqs for a direct entry program (I h...

   amm2061 replied to kimaboogie00's topic in New York

   Hey there Kimaboogie! Omigosh! You have the exact same question I am trying to get answered. I am applying to Columbia's ETP program with the speciality in Women's Health and would like to work in a community health setting like Planned Parenthood or...

4. Womens Health Care NP

   amm2061 replied to MidwestRN34's topic in NP

   Hi there! I am hoping someone could help me out! I am currently looking into a career change in nursing and have decided I'd like to work as an NP in women's health. I have my bachelors and masters in another field and am currently working in medical...

5. MED Sales rep to Accelerated MSN program for non-nurses

   amm2061 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey there! I started working in the med equipment sales field last summer, after turning down a few acc BSN programs for non-nursing students (none of the programs were perfect and this opportunity in sales presented itself). I work with nurses day i...

6. Columbia: Questions about ETP

   amm2061 replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate

   Hey there everyone! I was a pre-nursing student last year that was admitted into a few accelerated BSN programs. I chose not to attend those programs in exchange for waiting a year to apply an accelerated NP program (more specifically the ETP program...

7. Any UCLA MECN students out there?

   amm2061 replied to amm2061's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm estimating 50K...and that's NOT being particularly frugal...Where are you planning on living at the start of the program? Would it possible for you to move in a month early?? I guess that extra month of cost is kind of a drop in the bucket in ter...

8. Any UCLA MECN students out there?

   amm2061 replied to amm2061's topic in Post Graduate

   Just got word from Kathy about the fundamental class 8/14-9/1 to be held in Torrance. Anyone taking that also?

9. Posting again about UCLA's MECN -

   amm2061 replied to noa's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think that 70k was a bit of an exaggeration...the tuition cost is about 12k a year....factor in your own housing cost etc....for me, it has worked out to be around 50k for the whole thing (and I don't necessarily think I'm being that frugal)...

10. Funding question: Direct entry MSN programs

    amm2061 replied to romie's topic in Post Graduate

    At UCLA they consider an Masters Entry student eligible up to 18,500 in federal per year...

11. Any UCLA MECN students out there?

    amm2061 replied to amm2061's topic in Post Graduate

    The program hasn't officially started yet (Fall 2006 will be the first MECN cohort and they will also be starting up a BSN track) so I can't tell you too much about the level of competitiveness. I do know they offered admission to 60 students, out of...

12. Masters Level General Nurse - What is it?

    amm2061 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in California

    I got into a 16-month acc BSN program at NYU (I'm currently living in New York-I originally moved here for grad school). The program is just outrageous in price though so it seemed almost foolish to pursue a degree there (especially a professional de...

13. Posting again about UCLA's MECN -

    amm2061 replied to noa's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey! I'm in the same boat as you...coming from NYC and its such a pain in the rear to have to move back sooner not only for the epi final (got into the class) but for the nursing fundamentals as well....sigh. When I spoke to Rhonda earlier this year,...

14. Masters Level General Nurse - What is it?

    amm2061 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in California

    Well, I was actually just admitted into the UCLA program as well as an acc BSN program and was kind of grappling with what you described above....I decided to go with UCLA and my rationale is this...the MECN prgram is 20 months as opposed to the gene...

15. Any UCLA MECN students out there?

    amm2061 posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Hey! I was just accepted for the MECN program at UCLA to begin this fall. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time to start at such a new program! Any other students starting as well or suggestions from other masters entry students about their exp...
