1. Advise wanted. Considering 2nd career as NP

   atki replied to elmtree's topic in Advanced

   My situation was very similar to yours - I have a MSW and worked for years as a social worker, I was 32 when I started going back to school to complete prerequisites and 35 when I started nursing school, and I ended up going through a direct entry MS...

2. Change in Path- Cal State LA Direct Entry

   atki replied to ianoel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can't tell you much about the outcome because I'm currently in the thick of it. My background is fairly similar to yours though. I have a MSW and worked in the field of social services for about 13 years before I decided to go back to school. S...

3. Any Moms doing a direct entry NP Program?

   atki replied to longwayup's topic in NP Students

   I'm almost one year into a direct entry program and I have two young kids. It's rough at times, but doable. What's been a huge help for me is having a partner with a somewhat flexible schedule because there will be some rotations that involve leavi...

4. Seattle U or Mass Gen IHP (Boston)

   atki replied to Oregonian89's topic in School Programs

   I'm just finishing up my third quarter here and every quarter has been challenging in different ways. The good news is that you're with some incredible people and you will find yourselves helping each other out along the way. It's tough, but doable...

5. Seattle U or Mass Gen IHP (Boston)

   atki replied to Oregonian89's topic in School Programs

   Congrats! That's a great spot to be in. Seattle U and MGHIHP were two of the schools that I chose between last year. Ultimately I chose Seattle U but I had some additional factors that pushed me in that direction (I already live in the Seattle are...

6. Seattle University APNI 2016 Applicants

   atki replied to historybe's topic in Post Graduate

   @husky2k16 If all goes according to plan, there should be at least one faculty member and one current student in the interview. There may be an additional current student or faculty member, but there shouldn't be more than three people because they ...

7. Make the call to CPS

   atki replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

   I'm not a nurse (I'm currently in nursing school) but I did work for CPS for a couple years and can answer any questions that you might have. I'm not sure what the CPS issue is in this case since they seem to have gotten the child appropriate medica...

8. Midwifery

   atki replied to apenze's topic in School Programs

   I'm a current student in the Seattle U program direct entry program, although I'm in a different track so I can't answer specifics about the midwifery program. There's a great Facebook page, though, for Seattle U APNI applicants. If you post a ques...

   atki replied to May25's topic in Washington

   I'm only going into my second quarter of the program so I don't know if things will change in upcoming quarters, but it seems like generally we have classes on Monday and Friday and we'll have clinical on two other days during the week. For this qua...

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington

    I don't think that you're screwed at all! Your stats look great! It's probably in your best interest to get the micro or an A and P class done next so you can show them how well you can do in "hard" sciences. Best of luck! You sound like a great ...

12. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington

    Ha, ha! I drove myself and everyone around me crazy too as I tried to sort out the best option for me and my family. I've officially turned down all other offers so there's no looking back now!

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington

    @may25 so are leaning towards PLU? I'm interested to hear what your final decision is! Best of luck!

    I asked this during my interview and the interviewer said most nursing students live in New Haven

15. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington

    I would call because I think there's going to be a lot of movement in the next couple of weeks. Many acceptances just went out and they have 14 days from the time they receive their offer letter to accept or decline so they should be pulling off the...
