   KekelaNikol posted a topic in General Students

   Hi everyone - I'm just starting my first year of nursing school and am trying to wade my way through all of the medical terminology. Does anyone happen to know of a good website that shows you the medical shorthand - for example, qd, bid, s with a l...

5. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

   KekelaNikol replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi kangaroo I was wondering the same thing. I am thinking about taking it just for a refresher. I took anatomy 5 years ago and got an A, but it was 5 years ago. Plus, mine didn't have a lab so I think the lab component might be helpful. Hopefully ...

10. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

    KekelaNikol replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

    Yay! I was just accepted as well. However, the cost has me second guessing, as I was accepted to other schools as well. A good friend of mine went through the ETP program a year or two ago (she stopped after she got her RN) and said that it was ver...
