   rowan630 replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   Hi, I am also leaning towards accepting at Yale, but waiting to hear about a scholarship at Emory. Sorry, I live in NYC and can't offer any advice about the x-country move. Good luck with that! Question for everyone re: financial aid at Yale. Di...

2. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

   rowan630 replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

   Shallowhorn--the answer is YES! I also knew the numbers when I was applying, but they seemed so large that they just floated out into the ether. Now that I am writing up a budget for my first year, I feel the impact of those big numbers! I am appl...

   Thanks Oooladoula and Biddy for this good information. I live in NYC and don't have a car, so I will have to get on that! I am pretty sure now that I am New Haven-bound :) I am starting to feel good about the decision. Oooladoula, I am going to tr...

   rowan630 replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate

   Man, I thought we would have heard earlier. But, I just checked my notes and I had written down "March 15th" as the approximate date we would hear from UCSF. Also, does anyone know how their financial aid application works? I read on the website t...

   I have written in my notes that we will hear from G-town around the last week of Feb as to whether or not we are invited to interview. I am not sure if this is accurate though, as I can't remember where I heard/read it! GOOD LUCK everyone!

6. Best Doula programs?

   rowan630 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in CNM

   I am certified thru DONA and will offer my 2 cents. Originally, I took the DONA course b/c it was the cheapest in my city. I am glad I did. DONA provided me with comprehensive training. Although the certification packet is long and requires a lot ...

7. Please HELP! Need Study Strategies for ccconline A&P 1

   rowan630 replied to theresamarieus's topic in General Students

   Hi, I did a lot of my science prereqs for nursing school online. I actually took both A&P I and A&P II thru ccconline. They are not easy and require a lot of discipline, but one thing that really helped was to hand copy lecture notes into m...

8. GREAT online Microbiology class!

   rowan630 replied to hautemilque's topic in Pre-Nursing

   i also took micro through ccconline and thought it was great. they send you at-home lab materials (i.e. bacteria to culture on petri dishes) instead of having you going through a virtual/online lab. ccconline.org. i have been accepted into nursing...

   rowan630 replied to Cinammon&BrownSugar's topic in Michigan

   FYI, re: private loans: that is great advice about not taking them out unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. but let's face it, sometimes our living expenses like rent and car payments just aren't covered by federal loans. I have applied for private loans th...

10. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    rowan630 replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate

    Ranger Liz, I applied to UCSF, Yale, Columbia, Georgetown, Penn & Emory for midwifery and each school has stressed how important your whole package is, not just your scores/GPAs. I know that some schools place emphasis on a certain field/subjec...

11. Emory Accelerated BSN/MSN Program (Summer 2010) - Anyone Else Accepted?

    rowan630 replied to GypsyGirlZofie's topic in Georgia

    Wow, I am so bummed. I sent my app in early this fall and rec'd an early response from Emory (I think mid Dec) but didn't realize there was an accelerated BSN/MSN program. I applied to the BSN/MSN Segue program and accepted as a fall-start. I think ...

12. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    rowan630 replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut

    Biddy, Thanks for your insight! I am definitely leaning towards Yale (midwifery) and like everyone else, scared about the finances of it all. I think we should receive our financial aid packages soon, but like you said, i am not expecting anything ...

    Hi all, congrats on your acceptances! I just found this thread. I am also accepted for the FNM specialty, but my letter states that I will start in the Fall. So confused? Is everyone else starting in the summer for the BSN/MSN Segue program? My he...
