1. FNP Boards: ANCC or AANP?

   spiced_chai posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello! I'm in my final semester of my family nurse practitioner program, and am planning on taking the credentialing boards this summer. As many of you already know, there are two options for family nurse practitioners: the ANCC exam, and the AANP ex...

   Splitting a hotel room sounds awesome. I'm down.

3. Johns Hopkins University BSN/MSN Fall 2011

   spiced_chai replied to jngnurse's topic in Post Graduate

   Sai A, want to arrange some time to talk online? I feel like there's a lot I want to share with you because I've been in CA all my life as well (and I'm very proud of it) and being a UCLA undergrad got me pretty acquainted with MECN. Perhaps it coul...

4. Would Columbia University's ETP program really kick a student out for missing a test?

   spiced_chai posted a topic in New York

   I was just accepted to Columbia University's ETP program. While researching it, I came across a NY Post article (linked here: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/regional/item_GRaiDBJ3aEtfOq1OOZtImO#ixzz1G4bSL400) titled "F Student Sues Columbia Nurse Schoo...

5. Johns Hopkins University BSN/MSN Fall 2011

   spiced_chai replied to jngnurse's topic in Post Graduate

   Depends on your program. I was accepted to the traditional BSN, and accepted students day is on April 8th. (Anyone going?) As for the MSN decisions: I spoke to an admissions counselor on the phone today. (I'm on the edge of my seat for this decision ...

   I haven't gotten my financial aid package yet. This could be a function of the fact that I live in CA, or because of the on-campus housing mailrooms at my University... In either case, I hope I get it soon!

7. UCLA MECN Fall 2011

   spiced_chai replied to Sam198's topic in Post Graduate

   Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! I wish you all the best! If it could be of any assistance, I am a graduating senior from UCLA and would be more than happy to provide any information about the University in general, moving to and living...

8. Columbia University ETP 2011

   spiced_chai replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York

   andie_mw, Thank you so much for that wonderful explanation. On a sidenote, are you a Bruin? (Just a guess because you mentioned that you attend a UC and that you live in LA...) If so, we should meet up before the decision deadline rolls around!

9. Columbia University ETP 2011

   spiced_chai replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York

   I second the motion! I'm sure that there are several of us who weren't able to make it to the accepted students day. (I'm still an undergrad and I need to go to class!) If any one would be so kind as to give us anything from a CliffsNotes of the eve...

    spiced_chai replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate

    Congratuations to everyone who was accepted, and best of luck to everyone else who is waiting! :heartbeat I'm in for A/GNP! I got the call at about 1:30 Pacific Time and I'm honestly a little embarrassed about my response. My exact words were, "Thank...

    spiced_chai replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm getting pretty antsy here in CA because my phone hasn't rang yet. Is it possible that they are accepting people in alphabetical order? Or by specialty? My last name starts with a V and I've applied for A/GNP...

12. UCLA MECN Fall 2011

    spiced_chai replied to Sam198's topic in Post Graduate

    Thanks! And to answer your question: Yep! Well, kind of. I've gotten into the BS/MS ETP Program at Columbia, and the BSN part of the Combined BS/MSN program at Hopkins. I'm still anatomically bound to my cell phone and stalking my postal workers to f...

13. UCLA MECN Fall 2011

    spiced_chai replied to Sam198's topic in Post Graduate

    For those of you who are considering MSMC's program: Some community colleges offer classes such as these online. In my experience, knocking out some of these prerequisites online has been great because I don't have to worry about commuting, being lat...

14. UCLA MECN Fall 2011

    spiced_chai replied to Sam198's topic in Post Graduate

    Just because many of us here weren't offered admission doesn't negate our strong credentials, and definitely doesn't mean that we won't make wonderful nurses in the future. It seems very clear to me that many of the people on this forum are dedicate...
