   Thanks for the update! How frustrating though. I was hoping to have news prior to visiting day

   Has any one received anything about financial aid? During the webinar they said they hoped to get it out end of last week/beginning of this week.

   I don't think it's counter productive at all! It sounds like Columbia encourages students to take a year off between the BS and MS portions of the program. Getting experience is always a good thing - you've chosen a speciality but it's possible you'...

4. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

   torzorz replied to WavyGravy's topic in School Programs

   Does anyone have details on scholarship applications? It looks like we're automatically in the running for PLUS just by submitting our FAFSAs and the Alumni scholarship hasn't opened yet. I can't tell about the Robert Wood Johnson though, there's no ...

5. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

   torzorz replied to WavyGravy's topic in School Programs

   I've been doing some research on this and I believe in the US a BS (in nursing) and BSN are considered the same for hospitals with magnet status. It really just varies whether the school is just a nursing school or if it's tied to a larger University...

   Did anyone else apply for a subspecialty? How do we know if we were accepted into it?

   Thanks, I was not aware of that and it is very good to know!

8. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

   torzorz replied to WavyGravy's topic in School Programs

   Hi all! I'm in for FNP. I've already started a similar program so I'm working with Columbia to see what (if anything) will transfer. I get in-state tuition here and the cost of Columbia is somewhat daunting... I love how accelerated it is and that we...

9. UIC Graduate Entry Program

   I expect Micro will help with Pathophys and Pharma some too. I am not looking forward to either of those classes and I'm glad I have Micro already!

10. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    torzorz replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate

    To jump on the DePaul bandwagon, I think the changes UIC is making after the 2014 cohort will mean the program is very similar to what DePaul and Rush offer. There's a push for generalist masters programs and specializing through the DNP route or pos...

    Got in for PNP! I'm very excited (although I wish it started sooner, I don't want to wait almost a year before starting!). Is someone creating a facebook group?

12. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    torzorz replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York

    Does anyone know what job prospects are like for ABSN grads? Generally I hear it's good to get an externship but ABSN students probably won't have time. Given that there are roughly 250 students being cranked out each year at NYU alone I can't imagin...

    I think email and then an official letter. Based on my interviewer their final decisions are due to the admissions committee today and we're looking at ~1week turn around. Good luck everybody!

    torzorz replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate

    I wonder if the earlier slots filled up first... It looked like that's what happened for the PNP sign ups. I'm hoping we hear back by end of next week. I'm very nervous!

    Are all decisions due May 1st? I thought you had three/four weeks from when you heard to accept/decline. I didn't realize there was an overall deadline :)
