   chickpea25 replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate

   Hello Krysprout: I'm deciding between Yale and Columbia as well. I already turned in my Yale deposit but after the visitation day at Columbia, I'm having a really tough time deciding between the two schools. What are some of your reasons to consi...

2. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

   chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

   Dear BeaconStreet: I was at the info session on Friday and was very impressed by Columbia. I was curious what the leader of your tour group said about why she picked Columbia over other schools. I am trying to decide between two schools right now......

   Another comment... I just wanted to say that cozzy66 makes an important point. She said her boyfriend is experiencing some of these same issues in med school. Four of my friends are currently in medical school, very good schools in fact, and they hav...

   chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

   Hello Kurlyz26, Well, I'm still not sure which school to choose. I hope to have all my questions about Columbia answered on visitation day. I really think it would help to meet up! Let me know if you're interested. I chose psychiatric mental ...

5. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

   chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

   This is probably off topic, here, but since I'm choosing between Yale and Columbia, I'd like to know if anyone else is in the same boat? I'm leaning toward Yale because I had such a great experience there when I went to interview. I hope I have simi...

6. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

   chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

   Don't worry about the Feb 1st deadline. I mean, it's really just a date by which students must file to receive the most funding, although I have heard that it really doesn't matter all that much. I filed mine before Feb. 1st but since I obviously ans...

   chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

   I got into psychiatric mental health nursing! I'm very excited. I plan to go to the info session in March. I realized, however, when I got my letter and the accompanying fafsa forms that I filled in my fafsa incorrectly. I submitted the fafsa already...

8. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

   chickpea25 replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate

   i'm thinking of staying overnight...two nights. I'm from out of state, though. I hope one of the nursing students is willing to put me up for two nights! It would make things a lot easier. I also want to check out the yale gallery of art while i'm on...

   Anyone know about boston college's direct entry program? so far I haven't heard anything.

10. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    chickpea25 replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

    hmm. this could pose a problem, especially for graduates of masters in nursing programs. If I attend one of the direct entry graduate programs, graduate with my masters degree in nursing, will I still be required to earn a bachelor's in nursing, even...

11. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    chickpea25 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm sure all the MEPN students are great. I mean, that must be the case. I'm also aware that to narrow the interviewing pool is extremely difficult. As an undergrad, I worked in the admissions office at my university and am well aware of how hard it ...

12. new grads of direct entry programs: are you paid as an NP or an entry level nurse?

    chickpea25 replied to chickpea25's topic in Post Graduate

    Dear wildmountain child, Thanks for the reply. I figured that I would probably earn the same as an entry level nurse. I believe the autonomy is the most important aspect of becoming a nurse practitioner. I considered becoming a physician assistan...

13. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    chickpea25 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

    Sadness: rejected by UCSF this morning. Honestly, I don't know what the magic formula is for that school. I bet it's the fact that while I have worked in a bunch of medical settings, I've never had direct care experience with patients. Ivy league und...

14. JHU interview

    chickpea25 replied to hlee13's topic in Post Graduate

    Thanks for the reply! I do want to check out Baltimore. I may have to wait until later..when I know for sure if I've been accepted. I've heard that Baltimore has a lot of crime and that JHU is not in such a great area, but most of the schools I'm app...

15. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    chickpea25 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

    Hello UCSF applicants, I still have yet to get a letter. I spent all morning dreading going to the mailbox and nothing came. I'm not sure what to think regarding this program. All of you seem so well qualified! I haven't worked as a CNA or any...
