1. Boston College Masters Entry 2015

   It's accredited and was mentioned to me by admissions, so it should. It's also worth 4 credit hours without a lab component which I found surprising.

   I actually found an online patho course at butler community college in Kansas, which was half the price of the one at UNE. If anyone else is interested, it starts on 3/23 and ends 5/15.

3. Columbia ETP 2015

   Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

   @Doulame I was one of the students accepted to ETP, but not for midwifery. I've had pretty extensive/honest communication with the admissions office. From what I have been told, there will be no internal waitlist for the midwifery specialty track. Th...

4. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2015

   Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School Programs

   Hi folks! I'm wondering if anyone else on the waitlist knows about what our odds are for receiving an offer of admission. I've tried getting in touch with admissions a few times and can't seem to get ahold of anyone. I applied for the midwifery/WHNP ...

5. Columbia ETP 2015

   Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

   @MissesOh. I just got accepted into the same program at MGHIHP--I don't think I'll go. I've heard really mixed reviews about the program and it's pretty expensive. If it helps, I've heard that a lot of FNP's choose to specialize in repro health/fami...

6. Columbia ETP 2015

   Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

   @ NMW1982 Columbia appeals to me more than other programs because I'd like to work abroad and within research communities re: antenatal/intrapartum care and maternal and infant health. In addition to having faculty who work in these issue areas, Colu...

7. Columbia ETP 2015

   Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

   It's such a personal decision. There are definite pros to attending Columbia depending on what you're looking for in a program. It's also one of the most expensive accelerated programs out there. I'm having a really hard time weighing my options, so ...

   Did anyone else get accepted for the WHNP track?

9. Columbia ETP 2015

   Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

   So, I also got into Boston College for WHNP and was waitlisted at Penn for the CNM/WHNP track. Given that I don't have a spot secured on the CNM track at Columbia, but would love to study midwifery there, I'm having the hardest time sorting through t...

    Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

    @Bettybones. Thanks, that's really encouraging information! I'm still strongly considering Columbia with the expectation that I could find my way into the midwifery track after the BSN portion is over. If not, I guess I could leave the program and ap...

    Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

    I had a small breakdown thinking about taking on so much debt. Then I realized, there are plenty of nursing/med professionals who've done it before. The earning potential with an advanced practice nursing degree is great. You may be paying loans off ...

    Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School Programs

    If it's any consolation, I know that Penn technically ranks higher than Columbia for nursing. This means very little by specialty, I'm sure--but either way, kudos to you for getting into Penn!

    Bumblepea replied to snailszy's topic in Massachusetts

    May might be a little overzealous, but September is definitely the most competitive month to find housing, Boston being a college town and all. There are plenty of places off-the-beaten-track you might have better luck in than the area directly aroun...

14. Columbia ETP 2015

    Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

    Honestly, my first impulse is to eat a gallon of ice cream and cry for a few days. I desperately want to study midwifery, and might be willing to do women's health as an alternative, but am not nearly as interested in a specialty like family or peds....

    Bumblepea replied to allisonnn's topic in School Programs

    Oh, please let it be me. Just out of curiosity, DoulaMe, would you mind talking a little bit about your background in birthwork? I've been waitlisted (Penn), rejected (Yale), or partially accepted (Columbia) to the midwifery programs I've applied to,...
