   dedicatedone replied to ARickli's topic in New York

   When I filled out the FAFSA this past year, we were specifically told to select "5th year undergraduate." There will be an email that goes out from the Financial Aid office once applicants have been selected that has clear instructions on how to fill...

2. career change: Non-nursing B.S. to MSN

   dedicatedone replied to heartappa's topic in Post Graduate

   In terms of the content, it is basic care of patients and learning the skills to improve their status. Due to the fact that it is an accelerated program, there is some overlap where we are learning certain techniques outside of the RN scope of practi...

   dedicatedone replied to heartappa's topic in Post Graduate

   Wanted to jump on the board the moment I saw UCSD. I graduated UCSD 09' and just started my first year at an accelerated BSN/MSN program. PM me with any questions you may have. I'm loaded with exams but more than willing to help a fellow Triton out. ...

   Visitors Day is prior to when your confirmation of acceptance is needed by the admissions office. I think confirmation was needed by the end of March...? Don't quote me on that though. There was no way that I would accept the schools offer if I didn'...

   Hey samdaman, Visitor's Day was March 2nd of this year. I believe we were informed of our admission the 1st or 2nd week of February. I just remember there being a fast turn around to purchase flight tickets out to NYC as I live out of state.

6. Is my GPA too low to apply of a direct entry program?

   dedicatedone replied to dea2012's topic in Post Graduate

   Hey!!! Never cut yourself short. Experience, especially the kind of experience you have, is invaluable and GPA is only but one factor. I'm currently in the Columbia's ETP program and was accepted with an undergrad GPA of a 3.0 and a 4.0 in my postgra...

   Haha. If you're hearing voices, that's a definite sign! Best advice is to sit back and breath. I didn't hear about my acceptance this year until early February. I believe early decisions were made sometime late December.

   Unfortunately I don't. I have friends who are gearing up for the Peds track but do not know any masters in that track to provide you with any information.

   Housing - As CU2012 said, there can be cheaper housing off campus depending on neighborhood and building. On campus housing is usually extended only to those who live farthest away from campus (i.e. out of country and West Coast Residents). It is ext...

    dedicatedone replied to ARickli's topic in New York

    I'm specifically in the Family Track for the masters portion. However, what I really like about Columbia which is different than almost all the schools I applied to is you're not locked into that specialty. That's something I didn't know until I got ...

    dedicatedone replied to ARickli's topic in New York

    Hey the healer's art, hopefully I can help you just as much as CU2012 can :) As far as my experience goes, there are pros and cons to the program as there are with any other program. For me, one of the best things I like about this program is that it...

    dedicatedone replied to ARickli's topic in New York

    I'm a current student in the program and wanted to give everyone a heads up that emails may have been delayed after Hurricane Sandy. The entire Columbia campus was closed Monday and Tuesday and there was a skeleton staff present on Wednesday. Today (...

    dedicatedone replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate

    Hi jsholle, I just started this summer and our ETP class just wrapped up our first semester of the year. "Boot Camp" was crazy to say the least but we survived :) I think my best advice to you is to really focus on your personal statement. From what ...

    Congrats Eric! I too will be entering nursing this year and it's been one hell of a road to get here. Best of luck and am so happy your dreams are coming true :)

    I too had heard the job prospects are better for NPs. I recently spoke with a recent graduate of the program and they stated they received job offers prior to graduation. Current ETPers seemed to also be confident (at least the ones I spoke with) abo...
