Hi Liz, Not sure if you're still considering this, but I thought I would chime in. I've also been in your shoes before. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you'd be getting yourself into with medical school, and I think its very matu...

Hey Category X, I was also a little displeased with the short turn around time - especially when they require such a giant deposit! $600 is a little overboard, I think. I am also doing some soul searching and lots of research by asking current stude...

I talked w/ financial aid today and had some info I thought you all might be interested in. I was curious to know if the scholarship amount was likely to stay the same throughout all 3 years or if it would decrease by about the same amount that the ...

I don't think it will look that bad - you usually get to explain anything that might stick out on your transcripts if you are applying to another program, and I don't think anyone would hold it against you that you dropped the classes because they we...

manhattandoula - I would drop the classes! I think they will teach you what you need to know, and if you got in then they think you will be able to learn the material w/o the prereqs. I would just enjoy your time now before you start grad school in ...

I also got the acceptance letter for CNM - I'm not totally sold on the program, though. For all those for who this your 1st choice - what are your reasons? (not meaning to rain on the parade here, congrats to all!)
Hi pro-student, How long do the dual FNP/CNM programs take to complete? I'm interested in doing something like this and would probably want to get one degree first and then complete the other part time while I'm working under my first degree. I'm su...
This is a great question! I see it hasn't had any response yet...if there aren't any NHSC scholars out there, how about midwives doing the loan repayment options? I'm looking at both and have questions for that route, too.
kangaroo2 replied to kangaroo2's topic in Post Graduate
Yes, NHSC and other loan repayment programs are a great option - I would be planning on that too if I do attend a direct entry program. Its also an option for midwifery. Its too bad that 6 figure debt is the norm in these professions that are are s...

This thread hasn't gotten a lot of response, but in case anyone would like to know...I called the financial aid department at Yale today and they said the average student debt from the GEPN program is 109K - this is a little scary because most types ...

Thanks again for your comment! I did read this before the post disappeared. Which field did you get a masters in? Did you find it reasonable to work part time during your program? How much debt do you think this saved you from taking on? I know this...
Hi, I started a thread on here last week but some how it got deleted... I am wondering if anyone who has gone or is currently a student at BC or Yale's master degree programs could share their experiences with the type of financial aid they received?...
Thanks Krshmt! This is actually the ideal situation for me - to do the CNM curriculum, and then maybe just work in gny/women's health for awhile if I don't feel like its a great time for doing births and all that entails... I was wondering if many CN...
Thanks! Does it make more sense to become a CNM instead of WHNP for scope of practice reasons? It seems that CNMs can do all the women's health care that WHNPs can do. Am I wrong about that?
Hello! I have been debating for awhile about becoming a CNM vs a WHNP. If I become a WHNP, how easy is it to transition into CNM training? Any idea how long this would take? I really like the 2 year GEP that BC offers for WHNP, and my thought is th...
