   That was my experience; but you should give the financial aid office a call just to be certain.

   Arrive early and look on streets a bit farther away from the actual hospital/school. The New York Presbyterian Hospital Garage is very expensive. There are much less expensive parking lots/garages closer to Broadway….just a few blocks away. You may...

    BICT replied to WavyGravy's topic in School Programs

    I believe the $49,000 is for the traditional 1st year of the MSN and includes 34 credits (Summer/7, Fall/13, Spring/14). As ETP students, we will have already taken 9 of these credits during the ETP year. So, we would actually only have 25 graduate c...
