Welcome Future Yale GEPNs!!!

Hang in there bics! Good things come to those that wait, right?
Hmmm, lovingpecola, i think you got more in scholarships than me, jerk yale (haha, i hope they don't read that and revoke my admission). Did you work full time last year? Eh, at this point what is a little more money in private loans really?

ok, thanks, you just made me feel a lot better! my EFC was like 8,000, so it makes sense that you would get more in scholarships than me...whatever, next year I think we will all have nothing in the resources box, it should be negative!

Hey y'all--
do you know anything about TA positions at Yale, or in general? That might be interesting (and i think you make a pretty penny)!

Yay! Finally got my financial aid--albeit through e-mail, but who cares. Pretty much the same, but I was glad to see I got max. amount of scholarship and perkins loan they have to offer (lI have a low EFC). I am deperately searching for scholarships, but there are not many available to people in our situation (GEPN/Direct entry) so I think I might just have to bite the bullet! Wow, I'm not worried, but I'm not gonna lie, the amount I'll take out in loans this coming year is more than double of what I took out during my entire undergraduate education!!!
But once again, I'm just pumped to get started!!!!
By the way, is any one already buying some of their supplies, e.g. steth., scrubs, etc. I only ask because I live at home right now, and I'm pretty sure if I start buying now my parents will shell out (they're still in the "i'm so proud of my daughter for getting into yale" mode--y'all with me?) but i don't want to buy the wrong things--do we have to purchase things through yale?

yeah they were kind of vague, I suppose we could ask Lauren on the yale site more directly, like what color blue and what not, and don't forget it is the LONG white lab coat as for starting to buy now, i am totally with you. My mom is actually buying me my stethoscope which is excellent because they are not cheap. She is an RN so she is so excited and wants to make sure I get a really good one, she is so cute. As for the rest yeah I would love to start buying now while I have some money.

Scarily I have decided not to work next year, at least first semseter. My job now (at Yale, research assistant) offered to keep me on as a casual employee so I can come in when I need money and have the time. As for second semester I was planning on looking into student nursing. Hey, they pay you to get experience, so why not? And Lauren mentioned that once you get licensed often times they will hire you as an RN for the rest of school. So that is great. Otherwise I was just going to do some crap jobs like refing lacrosse in the spring or something. But nothing official. I have always worked as I went to school (full time now as I get my masters in psych full time as well) so I kind of just wanted to be able to really get involved at least first semseter. But we will see what happens when I stop getting pay checks!
