1. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

   AniLMT replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate

   Hello all! I was accepted but deferred until next year, so I never got a financial aid estimate from Hopkins. Comparable schools (Penn and Columbia) gave me a pretty dismal package--about $90,000 in fed. loans and another $20,000 to come up with out ...

2. Smart and Poor: What Should I Do?

   AniLMT replied to AniLMT's topic in ADN/BSN

   Thank you all!!!! You've no idea how encouraging it is to hear that. I want to go with the ADN because intuitively it feels like I'll be getting a good foundation without having to sign my life over in blood for my education. I am a self-starter, and...

3. Smart and Poor: What Should I Do?

   AniLMT posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   I was accepted to all of the BSN/MSN FNP programs I applied to this year--three of them among the most selective in the country. My thinking was, if you're smart enough to get in, and have high financial need, they'll do whatever they can to keep you...

4. UIC GEP 2013

   AniLMT replied to rchampa3's topic in Post Graduate

   I was invited to interview via telephone for the FNP track, but I actually decided to decline the invitation. I've already accepted an offer from another school and as much as I'd love to attend UIC, I feel there is a disadvantage that this program d...

5. UIC GEP 2013

   AniLMT replied to rchampa3's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi all! I also applied for FNP, and was surprised to visit the forum and see that anyone applying for the GEP has received invitations to interview this early! UIC must really be on top of things, because it took months for other schools to get this ...

6. Need advice from current students and alumni about loans

   AniLMT posted a topic in General Students

   I am looking for advice from current students and alumni, especially of the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University BSN/MSN Family Nurse Practitioner programs to share their experience on taking out private alternative loans and how y...

7. 2012-2013 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Application

   AniLMT replied to MarkTX's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just wanted to check my interpretation of the guidelines--I'm a direct-entry BSN to MSN student, and it looks as though I'm not eligible because of that. Does anyone know if that's correct? Any past scholarship winners here know the answer? Much a...

8. Woo Hoo! Accepted into nursing program!

   AniLMT replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   When I got my first acceptance I was sitting in a coffee shop. A professor from the college where I did my first undergrad degree was sitting a few seats away. I opened the email and started crying, then laughing, and shaking so hard it could have be...

9. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

   AniLMT replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks so much, Marina! I will take you up on that :)

10. Dreams of FNP Dashed by Cost

    AniLMT posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Just looking for some cheering up... Tonight I went back and read my first post on this website from 2009. I had just transferred to a 4-year college and my GPA was terrible and I had very little healthcare experience, but I did have a dream of somed...

11. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    AniLMT replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate

    Or, were you not talking about JHU? (I just checked the UCSF website and saw that they don't offer a BS in nursing OR a BSN as part of the MEPN program, so hopefully I just misunderstood).

12. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    AniLMT replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate

    Weird. I just picked up the phone and called admissions at JHU--the man I spoke with assured me that there's no difference between a BSN and a BS with a major in nursing...are they really misleading folks?

13. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    AniLMT replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate

    Woah--what is the difference between the BS with a nursing major and BSN? I can't believe I overlooked that. Feeling very, very, very stupid right now. I thought they were the same?

14. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    AniLMT replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate

    Yeah, the expenses--including tuition--that UPenn listed on my financial aid package amounted to $130k!! Oh. My. Goodness!!! The grant *did* bring it down, for me it actually dropped the cost below that of Hopkins, *if* Hopkins doesn't offer any gran...

    AniLMT replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate

    Awesome :) thanks for giving me some hope--it was going to be a long night staying up stressing! Gonna give them a call in the morning!
