   My husband and I made the decision last night. I accepted at UCSF! I also contacted my assigned adviser. It was a relief and after I had finished writing out the declinations, I felt really relaxed. And I also realized how ready I'm getting to start ...

    Just posting a quick update: no decision on which school yet. My husband's job is holding us up. We originally thought that he would be able to transfer to either city, or at least very nearby, but that isn't the case after all. So we will definitely...

    Oh BayArea2010, I am so sorry to hear that you are declining both of those offers. BUT, through that entire post, what I kept hearing is that you are a wonderful mother and wife FIRST, and that will, of course, make you a wonderful nurse. I have alwa...

    I hope that everyone is doing well with their decision making! Both my husband and I are off today, so we're sitting down to make a pros and cons list and to start finalizing a decision. He had really thought that this would be an easy decision until...

    Hi NPtoPhD, Congratulations on your acceptance at Yale! I was wondering if you had heard! That is so awesome! When you described the decision-making process as "laboring," I laughed out loud. That is exactly what it seems like. And as an old L&...
