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

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Letters have been sent out offering interviews for Yale's GEPN program this January.

Got questions?

Need answers?

Let's get together here and help each other out.

Just a quick FYI, last time I posted a faculty member's name as a recommendation to someone seeking a mentor my post was deleted by a moderator...

I'm not sure allnurses lets us post faculty names. A PM might work though.

Allllrigghhty...

We are all done with interviews at YSN, yipeee!!!

Hopefully everyone was able to get home safe?

My interview was pretty straightforward. My interviewer was much more accessible than I had expected. Same goes for the current GEPN students. Thank G-d for down to earth people...

So I left with the warm fuzzies.

What did y'all think of the GEPN program and YSN?

Specializes in L&D.

Warm fuzzies ... exactly. I was terribly impressed with the level of availability of students and faculty, how organized they were, how smoothly the day flowed, etc. I felt even more nervous AFTER my interview because now I really WANT to get in !

I stumbled upon this post by accident..... I don't belong in this forum, but I am from New Haven and could not resist a reply.....perhaps I am too late?? I use to work at the School of Nursing in a non-medical role.

As PP said, do not walk around New Haven -- sorry, but Yale is in the worst neighborhoods of the city. Yes, Yale is beautiful! But the surrounds are crime-ridden.

Another hotel consideration for those driving might be to stay in West Haven, south of New Haven. There is I believe a Days Inn on Sawmill Road in West Haven, you can see this hotel from I-95, very very easy on and off to get to New Haven. It's a 5 minute ride into New Haven by car.

Funny thing is tho New Haven is a city, there are very very few hotel choices even in surround towns!

Hope this was helpful....I don't mean to be a mother hen, but for those who have never been to New Haven, I thought I'd just add to previous posts about safety.

You are all so lucky to have this wonderful opp to study at Yale! Good luck!

Hey, IntlNurse2b, congratulations!! My interview is on the 27th, how about yours? I applied to the midwifery program, which I hear is one of the more competitive specialties, so we'll see how it goes... Glad to see you on here, good luck with everything!

Hey there, cherrymary, my interview is on the 28th - Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Not sure how competitive it is at Yale, but at other schools it is one of the tougher ones to get in to (like yours is!). Just being able to interview is a thrill, however, so I'm looking at it as an opportunity to learn for next year if I don't get an offer.

Good luck with everything and a big congratulations to you as well. Did you apply to any other programs? Are you in the area or flying in? I'm in S.F. and flying over on Monday night (red-eye).

Has anyone heard from Yale regarding acceptances or rejections (hopefully the former)??? This wait it killing me. Do they call everyone regardless of whether you were accepted or not?

Hi Elle, I sent you a PM.

For everyone else, the word is that letters are finally being mailed today, so we should have them by the end of this week. (Thanks to DG for being persistant!)
