  1. Question ... Psych NPs

    Thank you for your input zenman. My general intuition is that 'all experience is good experience" (so long as you make that of it!). It might help me better understand which age group I work best with, in addition to developing a practical knowled...
  2. Question ... Psych NPs

    Psych NPs out there....what are some departments or RN positions that you felt really helped you on your quest to become a psychiatric NP? Of course, working as a Psych Nurse would help acquaint you with the population, the system...etc....but what...
  3. Certain about midwifery, uncertain about nursing

    OP, many have advised you on your RN year.... but here is some advice for your BSN year.......There is acceptance and coping necessary for that year too, and here is how I'm surviving it: The SUNY accelerated BSN program you are considering will go ...
  4. Cheapest Psych NP Program?

    I too read (or misread) a grouping of "University of Phoenix, Drexel, etc" together. It's my understanding that Drexel is a not-for-profit (http://www.elearners.com/college/drexel-university/) and U of Ph. is a for-profit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w...
  5. Transitioning from WHNP to CNM?

    Do WHNP programs still maintain the natural emphasis that CNM programs do? Part of what drew me towards CNM was the preservation of nature in the nursing/medical approach. Currently, I'm considering WHNP as an option for me b/c though I love birth,...
  6. Combined CNM and WHNP degrees?

    U Penn's CNM program allows you to sit for both CNM and WHNP boards... :)
  7. How much debt is reasonable for NP school?

    We have similar career goals. I chose to go with an inexpensive instate-BSN (12k total), work some, then apply to grad school independently from my BSN experience. The cohesive nature of a direct entry was appealing to me, but the reduced expense, ...
  8. Interested in pursuing a CNM career

    Thank you for your post TLAlady - it was reassuring! Looking into this profession, I know that I want to go for it without regard to schedule/salary. Then that lurking feeling returns -- the one where I wonder if its fair to ask the s.o. to come al...
  9. Has Anyone Heard From Brockport Nursing?

    SyberianPuppy, We went to the same undergrad. It is a very tough, very competitive, very critical school. With no grade inflation to speak of here, your 3.6 here is SPECTACULAR, and something I know you earned through blood, sweat, tears, and brain...
  10. FNP in Hawaii

    OK...I'll be debbie downer, and take my words with a grain of salt. I'm making a bullet list of the negatives because I think you should be aware of the bad as you make this decision - after all - you're talking Hawaii, its all too easy to get caugh...
  11. Interest in becoming CNM

    Thank you for your suggestions - getting The Baby Catcher from the Library I AM looking forward to my OB lecture/clinical. Can't wait. :)
  12. Interest in becoming CNM

    Hi Everyone, First of all, thank you for all the discussion on this board. As a nursing student, I look forward to the voices, stories, and ideas in this particular section of all nurses more than any other! I'm a BSN student (career change from r...
  13. 2011-2012 BAT - Decker School SUNY Binghamton hopefuls

    Everydayagift, Yes, they had me fill out both forms :). I didn't write an extra essay; they had me copy and paste my old one in for both supplemental essays. Admissions (not the nursing school, the main office) swore my App wouldn't get forwarded i...
  14. 2011-2012 BAT - Decker School SUNY Binghamton hopefuls

    @spiritedkidd, Hi, I thought I finished my application in September, but then there was something funky about a switchover to an online only supplement. So, then I submitted another online supplement when it became available in late October. I th...
  15. 2011-2012 BAT - Decker School SUNY Binghamton hopefuls

    spirited, I sent you a PM with info on my GPA (I was accepted too). Hong, I second that BU Brain is not a good indicator of accepted versus not, I'm still "not entered" there as well. From what I understand, no news is not bad news at all yet! I t...
