   WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   Yes - I should have mentioned that you will be informed of which faculty member you will be interviewing with in the same letter/email that notifies you that you have been selected to interview. And no, it will not necessarily be the director of the ...

2. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

   WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   I don't remember a whole lot about my interview... which I guess means it couldn't have been too traumatic! You will be interviewed by a faculty member in your chosen specialty, so first off I'd recommend doing a bit of research beforehand and findin...

   WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   Hi folks, Another current GEPN here (PNP specialty, in case you couldn't tell from my screen name! haha.) I just wanted to chime in and reiterate most of what macmac84 has said about the program. It's definitely very challenging, mostly due to the va...

   WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   Hi maziemoo -- I would agree with what apalmer said about cutting individual words. When you really read back through your essay, you'll be surprised about how many non-essential words you'll find hidden in there. Before you know it, you'll have cut ...

   WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   Hey guys, I am currently a first-year GEPN student at Yale, and vividly remember being in your shoes around this time last year! I just wanted to jump in and offer my two cents regarding financial aid at Yale. In my experience, (and based on what I'v...

6. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

   WannabePNP replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Has anyone decided whether to waive out of the anatomy course? Do we have to decide now or can we wait until classes start? I've taken anatomy, but I feel like it can't hurt to have a refresher. On the other hand, I've heard it's useful to have the f...

   Lilly, I know what you mean about your savings account shrinking! I'm not sure how much the prescription plan costs either. Has anyone started applying for private and/or Grad Plus, etc. loans yet? I know we had to choose our lender for the Stafford ...

   I know -- I wish they would at least post the 2009-10 academic calendar on the website! I keep checking back but nothing yet.

    FYI, I emailed admissions today and found out that the pics are strictly for faculty/administration to get to know us (ie, they're not being used for a viewbook or any other purpose). So no need to sweat getting "passport"-type or other photos printe...

12. Yale vs. Columbia: Pediatric NP Programs

    WannabePNP replied to BS/MS NursingStudent's topic in Post Graduate

    I was faced with the exact same decision (ie, whether to go to Yale or Columbia for PNP). After attending Columbia's visiting day this past Friday, my "gut" feeling was confirmed about Yale being the better option. I was not overly impressed with Col...

    kimiij - I PM'ed you, just in case you did not see it (was my first time using a PM, so I'm not sure how obvious it is when you receive one). Hope to hear from you!

    I wanted to mention that I know a recent Yale GEPN grad (she was class of '08) from the PNP specialty who is now a full-time practicing PNP. I had the chance to observe her for the day and was very impressed at her confidence, clinical skills and bro...

    WannabePNP replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate

    Hey CaliforniaGirl - thanks so much for the info. I myself am leaning towards Yale, but I'm still planning on attending Visiting Day at Columbia. I feel much more acquainted right now with Yale than I do with Columbia, partially b/c Yale had an inter...
