1. Nursing corps scholarship 2015-2016

   izalou replied to Jm12345's topic in General Students

   I just started a Master's Entry program (FNP track) in June. My credit was checked on 7/29, but I'll let you know that I had to download my free annual credit report in order to see it. So far, Credit Karma has not updated since 7/24 and I've not rec...

2. Vanderbilt MSN 2015

   izalou replied to BHART25's topic in School Programs

   Oh god, I was looking through last year's thread and it seems that there is a separate review process for applicants who submitted after the priority deadline. I don't know if any of you are in the same boat.

3. Vanderbilt MSN 2015

   izalou replied to BHART25's topic in School Programs

   Hey all, I've been a little confused about whether this thread applies to the Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty applicants. I applied to the FNP Pre-specialty entry track a few days after the priority deadline (November 11th). Does anyone know whether any pr...

4. Yale 2015

   izalou replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate

   I would recommend flying into Bradley (the airport in Hartford) and taking the Connecticut Limo down to Orange or New Haven. I don't remember how much the shuttle costs, but it's affordable (maybe about $40). Second to that, I'd fly into JFK or Lagua...

5. Yale 2015

   izalou replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate

   I've only applied to two programs so far, but I've been impressed by Yale's proactive, encouraging emails. It seems that they're written very thoughtfully by a real person. I went to Yale as an undergraduate and really loved New Haven. It certainly t...

6. MEPN 2015

   izalou replied to NPhopeful555's topic in NP Students

   Just emailed to follow up and they got back to me in less than a minute (I'm impressed): "According to my records, you have everything you need. Those emails are sent automatically, so I don’t know why you haven’t received them." I'm not super worrie...

7. MEPN 2015

   izalou replied to NPhopeful555's topic in NP Students

   chen205, I'm in the same boat. I'm assuming they're just getting to different applications at different times, but who knows. The admissions team has actually been quite responsive to email inquiries, so if we're really paranoid, we could check in vi...

9. MEPN 2015

   izalou replied to NPhopeful555's topic in NP Students

   Ruh roh. My status shows a red circle with a white exclamation point in the center... Also, in reading some of the threads from past years, it seems that applicants could see in their applications whether their GRE scores were received. My applicatio...

10. How did you find NPs to shadow?

    izalou posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello! I'm currently taking the prerequisites for Masters Entry Programs to become an FNP or CNM. I'm working as a personal attendant for a quadriplegic woman, and also as a home health care coordinator for a man recovering from cancer treatment. I'm...

11. Experience for the pre-NP student

    izalou replied to izalou's topic in NP Students

    Also, my first priority is definitely grades. I had a 3.42 in Architecture from Yale undergrad, but I'm confident I can increase the overall GPA with the pre-req grades -- I feel much more focused and motivated now that I have a goal/career vision.

12. Experience for the pre-NP student

    izalou replied to izalou's topic in NP Students

    Thanks for the advice! hi616 -- I did indeed mean CNA. evolvingrn -- do you have any advice regarding CNA programs? I see a lot that are pretty pricey (which I would of course save up for if it came down to it), but I'd like to find something cost-e...

13. Experience for the pre-NP student

    izalou posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello! I am currently taking pre reqs for ABSN or Masters entry programs. It should take me about a year to complete the classes and I plan to apply to programs in the fall of 2014. I am wondering if anyone has advice on the type of relevant experien...

14. Certification and/or job recommendations for a pre-nursing student

    izalou posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello! I am a 25-year-old career-changer (it's funny to pretend that I've even had a career at this point) beginning prerequisite courses for direct entry BSN to MSN programs. I studied Architecture as an undergrad at Yale, and have worked in the te...
