1. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

   cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in CNS

   I can't speak to the quality of the program. The online degrees at UCSF are just to make money to essentially fund the live attendance programs. If you want to do the APPHN-CNS, there is a global health fellowship that is worth pursuing, you may also...

2. Should I stay or Should I go?

   cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in Job Hunt

   I just wanted to update everyone that I ended up leaving my job at the well-paid university well-funded hospital after working for 10 months there as an employee and 6 months as a graduate student nurse. I left and went to a different non-profilt FQH...

3. Advanced Public Health Nursing Certification Confusion

   cloucel replied to woofyrn's topic in Public/Community

   I'm planning to start working on my portfolio. I'm quite a unique case as I have a generic MSN (with the 3 P's in case I want to get further certificates) and MPH, so I qualify via a non-traditional route. I did ask if they would refund the fee if I ...

4. Should I stay or Should I go?

   cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in Job Hunt

   Update: I applied for an adult staff nurse position at a community clinic that is 17 miles from my home or a 30 minute commute by car on Friday. By Wednesday I got an interview, Thursday afternoon I got an offer for 32-40 hours/week. It is a 25% pay ...

5. Should I stay or Should I go?

   cloucel posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Dear Nurses, I recently graduated in September 2014 from a top nursing program with an MS in Nursing. I did my residency at a prestigious pediatric hospital and was offered a position there in June. I initially turned it down to do a primary care fel...

6. Low nursing school GPA

   My program placed a high emphasis on speaking an in demand 2nd language like Spanish or Cantonese, personal statements, letters of recommendations, international volunteer work, and leadership skills. Try working on those aspects and that can make yo...

7. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

   cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in CNS

   I never did the specialty. I graduated with a General Nursing MS because the APPHN was so similar to my MPH, I decided that it was not worth pursuing. I know that several of the students who started out in that program eventually went the route I did...

8. UCSF New Grad Program 2013

   cloucel replied to asats's topic in California

   Not sure if this is a true, but I'm a MS student at UCSF and a professor of mine said today that she heard UCSFMC wasn't doing a new Grad RN program this year, but that may have changed. ***staff edit: per ToS please do not post names if school perso...

   The specialty at UCSF is now called APPHN, they dropped the Global Health Component as a foundation of the program, but you can minor in Global Health and UCSF has an MPH program through the Global Health Sciences Program Masters Program | Global Hea...

10. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

    cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in CNS

    ACHIN is no longer offered at UCSF. It is now Advanced Practice Public Health Nursing because of the lack of international residencies. A Master's in Public Health Nursing (MS degree at UCSF not an MSN) is offered at many schools. I can think of John...

11. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

    cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in CNS

    Thank you, I really appreciate that perspective. I also have an interest in health disparities and hope to work in that once I graduate (a long time from now). Did you ever do the Mexico mult-school summer trip to Cuernavaca? It seems like the only o...

12. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

    cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in CNS

    I think that's good advice. What I meant by MEPNs being different from the MSN students is that MEPNs aren't nurses yet and dont' have the experience that BSNs have coming into the MSN program. They also come from a variety of backgrounds like engine...

13. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

    cloucel replied to cloucel's topic in CNS

    I'm a MEPN. I don't know what advice to make you stand out because MEPNs are such a different category of people from the MSN students. Everyone of the MEPNs has a very unique profile. My best advice is go to the information session, meet the profess...

14. Advanced Community Health or International Health CNS

    cloucel posted a topic in CNS

    Hello, I am a recently accepted student to UCSF for the ACHIN program. I haven't met too many other Advanced Community or International Health Nurses and I was wondering if you're out there, what you do, how you got into this specialty, and any inter...
