   A few of you have expressed concern over orientation. We had ours on the Friday before classes started and it was pretty much mandatory. One of the things I thought was cool before the face to face meeting was the request from the school about sub...

   Hi all, as a current MEPN, I'll try to answer a few of your questions. First, to 06 California, I know the school wants students who have some life experience, generally not fresh out of undergrad school. For instance, I know of a few students who a...

   Glad to hear the interviews went well yesterday. The anxiety we feel comes from us, not from being intimidated by the interviewers. I recall my faculty interview where it was more of a comfortable conversation rather than a stressful interview. I...

    Hey MRLD, I'm another who was accepted into the mental health focus. I am in the Integrated Psych CNS/ANP track. I heard (through the grapevine) that there were "8 good candidates" in the psych specialities. Not sure if that means first choice onl...

    I made it!! Ran to the Castro to check my mailbox, ripped open the envelope and only read the first sentence. Saw a friend, who actually read the entire letter. Congratulations to all who made it and best of luck to those of you who are on the wait...

    Talk about "High AnxietY".... Scott Ziem specifically promised the letters "would be postmarked on March 3rd, because the 1st was on a Saturday". I did not expect them to be delivered until Wednesday, thereby giving a little cushion, just in case the...
