1. How much RN experience to become an NP?

   SaintlyJ replied to dreamcatcher17's topic in NP Students

   Hi Elkpark - current Yale, second semester student here. I can count about 7 full-time GEPN students off the top of my head that are currently working as RNs at either YNHH, Yale Health or private offices, and there are probably even more if I asked ...

2. PhD right after FNP-MSN?

   SaintlyJ replied to SaintlyJ's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi llg! I currently don't have a funded position yet, but am preparing to apply to them this upcoming fall and there aren't many spots. I feel at this point I may be a competitive candidate to receive a funded PhD slot at some of these schools that ...

3. PhD right after FNP-MSN?

   SaintlyJ posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Has anyone ever started a PhD program right after completing an MSN degree? I will be graduating with an MSN as an FNP in May 2016, and am currently in the process of preparing applications for fully-funded (with a stipend) nursing PhD programs to s...

4. Sexy male scrubs

   SaintlyJ replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men

   Just wanted to chime in that if a scrubs brand offers a unisex version and men's-fit version, go with the unisex version if you are an in-shape dude looking for a scrub top. Those tend to be a little more form-fitting and show a little more bicep/the...

5. New grad.. Just applied to Yale NH hosp.. Need info please!

   SaintlyJ replied to jerez01's topic in General Nursing

   Congrats to becoming a new grad! I remember applying for that first job can cause all kinds of anxiety and stress! I've heard that it can take awhile to hear back from YNHH, so I would apply in different health systems and hospitals as well. I wis...

6. Can't get into my RN Program because of Obamacare

   SaintlyJ replied to LCNYC's topic in New York

   This quote is an interesting response to another poster's point that perhaps the title to your forum message is not quite accurate to your actual situation. If fellow nurses seem nitpicky about something as seemingly benign as a forum title, it is n...

7. Sexy male scrubs

   SaintlyJ replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men

   I've found that men's Grey's Anatomy scrubs look and fit odd on dudes. I'm a fan of Carhartt scrubs for guys myself. Also, wanting advice on how to look good in work uniforms is not a ridiculous request. Once you find the right pair of scrubs that f...

8. Yale-New Haven Unit Visit / Job Shadow

   SaintlyJ replied to cupcake_lake's topic in Connecticut

   If you make it to the job shadowing portion at YNHH, then it's pretty safe to say that you're a good contender for the position; pending the job shadowing experience. At the shadowing experience, they are not expecting you to help out or demonstrate...

9. PHMNP wants to be Acute Care NP as well

   SaintlyJ replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in NP Students

   Hey MarshaRabbit- Is it possible for you to switch specialties since you are still in your Entry RN portion of your program? My current school offers a similar Direct-Entry Nursing program, and I know of a couple people that actually switched over to...

10. Risky Plans, but the cherry tastes good 65k in loans small background

    SaintlyJ replied to Easyas123247's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As a military vet myself, I feel for the OP as many people may not be aware of the challenges that exist for vets as they transition back into the civilian world and civilian schools. I remember that a lot of things felt sort of "taken care of" for ...

11. 2014 RN Applicants to Yale School of Nursing

    SaintlyJ replied to GblHlthRN's topic in Post Graduate

    Hi CThomson! The process for applying for CT licensure was super easy. Almost to the point of where it was so easy that I thought that I was missing something because it was such a painless process. Basically if you're coming in from out of state, ...

12. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    SaintlyJ replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate

    I know that YSN is at West Campus, but most people that I know that study or work at West Campus still live in New Haven, particularly the East Rock neighborhood (also affectionally known as the Yale Grad Ghetto). It's pretty safe there, although i...

14. 2014 RN Applicants to Yale School of Nursing

    SaintlyJ replied to GblHlthRN's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm not sure if the class is larger this year than it was last year. There are approximately 87 or so GEPN's in the '13 incoming class, so if anything it may have decreased because I thought initially the class sizes were ~100 or so. As you can see...
