   cmelny replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

   I only bought the required text books and not the recommended ones. Some of the current students said that a copy of the current textbooks will be available at the library. I am not sure if it can be checked out of the library, though.

   Hello All! I am glad to see more messages on this thread! We are starting so soon, and I am both really nervous and excited. I did buy the Danskos because they were recommended to me by some of my RN friends. They feel really comfortable, although t...

3. Columbia: Questions about ETP

   cmelny replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi, I had the same question about the textbook edition 4 vs. edition 5. I sent Judy Wolfe an email, and she said that she was waiting to hear back from the professor. I will let you know when I hear from her again.

   Thanks for the info, dg05 and BeaconStreet. I am on planning on going straight through for both the BS/MS, but I like to know there is a stopping point in just case things don't go as I hope. I attended the March 2nd info session and missed all this ...

5. Columbia: Questions about ETP

   cmelny replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi, We will receive our BSN after the first "prelicensure" year, right? I was convinced of this until I saw some posts suggesting otherwise. I went back to review the Columbia website yesterday, and I am still not sure of the answer. Just want to kn...

   I usually prefer to hand write my own notes, but I had heard from current ETP'ers that plenty of people do take laptops to class each day.

   I think that may be what the spring semester "nursing practice integration" is all about, but I am not 100% sure on that.

   Thanks, T-Rock. I think I will hold off on the PDA, too, until next year. We have enough things to buy right now just to get started with the program.

   Hi, Is anyone choosing to buy a PDA? Do any of you have them or any advice for which one to chose? I am also thinking about a digital voice recorder. If the required reading is not available at Amazon, I am not sure where to find it. Does anyone alre...

    Hi, I also went to the March 2nd welcome session, and it helped me make my final decision and chose Columbia. I was impressed by the current students and the administration. Is anyone considering buying a PDA or digital voice recorder? Or if you have...

    I moved to NYC three years ago and think it's great! It can be overwhelming at first, and Columbia's not in the BEST part of town, but NYC has so much to offer. I think anyone can get used to life here. By the way, I contacted Judy Wolfe with some qu...
