1. Anyone applying to 2008 UW MEPN Program?

   fibergirl replied to stellasaurus's topic in Washington

   Ahhh, well.... The interview went well enough. The hard part was that after the interview, they told the applicants that there was only one opening for a new student in my chosen speciality (Adult/Older Adult NP) -- needless to say, we were really up...

2. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

   fibergirl replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate

   So I've decided on Yale as well. Screw UW and their waitlist. I'm doing A/GNP -- anyone else in this thread an admitted Yale Gero? Kevy, I work in a Level I Trauma Center ED too! But I'm not going into acute care, as much as I love the environment ...

3. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

   fibergirl replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm in the exact same situation. I have a cat, so I guess the Yale graduate housing isn't an option for me, which stinks... but I'm reluctant to take on a roommate, I've gotten so used to living by myself! Although the 2br apartments I've seen in New...

4. Boston College Master's Entry

   fibergirl replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate

   thanks, nicks! i did get into yale. i haven't decided where i'm going yet -- BC offered me a lot of money and as you know, yale's finaid package won't be in the mail for a bit yet. i'm also first on the waitlist at UW, which was my original top choic...

5. Boston College Master's Entry

   fibergirl replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate

   I would agree that BC is the most reputable name. All the nurses (AP and RN) I know in the Boston area think very, very highly of it. I've heard both sides of the 'super-short' program and I really think it's a choice that each indvidual has to make....

7. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

   fibergirl replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate

   Well, not sure if it counts as a decision, but I have appealed UW's decision to not take my B- in organic chemistry and I started the human anatomy course, which Angela said (combined with the year of human phys I took) will waive the anatomy require...

   Aw, that sucks. I'm sorry. But you're looking at it the right way -- each school has their own criteria and it seems they each get a different pool of applicants. it's all kinda random. Stay positive! :)

9. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

   fibergirl replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate

   sigh, yeah. It's just so much money that I do not have. But I feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one paying $$ to hedge some bets. I *do* think I have a good chance at yale, but I guess insurance is a good idea...

    fibergirl replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate

    Ah, that's good to know (about Angela emailing) -- I missed that! I guess that seems like as good a plan as possible. Sucks, I'm not really in the 'sit in class' kind of mode -- it's been a while and I was starting to look forward to not doing much s...

11. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

    fibergirl replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate

    Ugh, so I am stuck... need some advice if anyone has the time to give it... So I'm still in the running at Yale, Univ. of Washington, and Boston College. Got into BC. Just found out that I am first on the waitlist at UW. Problem is, I still have two ...

    fibergirl replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate

    The waiting is the worst! Checking the mail constantly was starting to make me crazy. Hopefully you'll get good news from BC on Monday and then you can relax a bit waiting for Yale and everyone else! BC is my first acceptance, it's so nice FINALLY kn...

13. Boston College Master's Entry

    fibergirl replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate

    I got in! Thank effing Bob! Now, of course, I realize I know very little about the program at BC -- it seems shorter than Yale's or the other schools' -- only two years and you're done with everything? Is that right?! I gues I need to do some serio...

    fibergirl replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate

    Has anyone gotten their letter yet? I called yesterday and was told that Maureen's in Jamaica until next week, but the secretary said that the Master's Entry letters had been mailed on Tuesday. Considering I live in Boston, I really expected to get m...
