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.

Hi Everyone,

I also will be moving from SF to go to Yale. It sounds like there are a few of us from San Fran moving out there. I have heard that East Rock is where most of the Yale GEPN students live - it's also called the "grad ghetto" and is where the Yale shuttle bus runs through. I've also been told that Wooster Square is another good place to live that's not too far from the YSN building. That's all I know. I am hoping that once we receive more info from Yale we will be given housing info. Does anyone know when we should be getting additional info about the program, housing, required supplies, etc??? I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Thanks for the info, KekelaNikol. I've not heard anything from the school about places they'd suggest. Anyone looking for roomates? Let me know, I'm at [email protected]

Hey,

I just found AllNurses, so forgive me for chiming in really late on this! I'm going to be in the Acute Care program in the fall - yippee! :w00t:

Have any of you gotten the packet of info on housing & lots of other stuff from Yale yet? I thought someone had told me mid-March, but I could be remembering wrong??

Also... anyone looking to find housing together, or are most people living in the dorms, or alone, or already have people they're looking with?

Thanks & can't wait to meet some of you guys!!

Students live in all the aforementioned places and also on Science Hill which is on Prospect Street. Science Hill area has a lot of "on campus housing" and "off campus housing" all mingled in together! My husband and I live in on campus family housing and we like our apartment. It's on the blue (medical school) line, which runs the most often! There will definitely be more info coming for you guys!

Congrats!

Congrats Kangaroo!! I just emailed the school and they said that the packets of extra info - housing, supplies, etc - went out yesterday! So the lucky ones on the east coast should get it any day and those of us on the west coast should receive it by the end of the week! I'm hoping that has tons of info about the program and what we need to do and get before it starts.

Congrats everyone!

KekelaNikol,

Thanks & Congrats to you too!

What will your specialty be? Sorry if I missed it in previous posts... I'm still playing catch-up!

I'm going to go stalk my mailman for my packet. Silly how excited I get about details... I was obsessed before and now it's even worse!

Thanks! I will be in the Family NP specialty. I know how you feel about stalking the mailman! I live in California so even though I know I won't get it until the end of the week, I will still be running home to check the mail, just in case! I am quite excited to find out what info we get...I'm completely obsessed too, so you're not the only one! I think last year they put together a posting website for all accepted students to ask questions and get to know each other and find roommates, I hope they do that again this year. I too will be looking for people to live with. I hope your packet shows up soon!

Its good to hear that the packet is coming out... it's killing me not knowing much about living stuff (Im a planner). Hopefully there will be a lot of good, useful information!

I cant wait to meet you all!

I swear you Californians are coming to take over the East Coast in September... god help us all :yeah:

just kidding of course... it'll be a blast to meet everyone!

oh... out of curiosity, what is everyone doing NOW before our lovely program starts? I for one am crawling the walls doing research in a genetics lab counting down the days until I can give my notice... how about you?

Well currently I am not in CA although I grew up there. I am finishing up my undergrad work in upstate NY before moving to New Haven.

When I graduate in May I am thinking about taking advantage of my last summer and sleeping a lot... although I will most likely get a full time job of some sort back in CA to make money because god knows we are going to need it next year! :cheers:

Ha! I honestly couldn't believe how many people there were (including myself) from California when I was at Yale for my interview!

Much like you Kangaroo, I am dying! I am trying my hardest to relax and enjoy my free time because I know I won't have much of it once we start the program, but that is very hard for me. Now that I know where I'm going I just want to get started! I'm doing MS research here in SF but also am counting down the days until I leave. Too bad I still have almost 4 months!!

Calibaby -- where in upstate NY are you (if you don't mind me asking?) I spent time for undergrad in Rochester & Ithaca so I'm curious :p I even kind of miss all the snow, especially after the crazy winter you guys have had this year!

KekelaNikol -- I am absolutely trying to store up on as much sleep, down time and movies as possible. My friends say I'm basically hibernating at this point. Silly me, I just hate to see it all go away (completely!) as of September. I like my job. Well, I tolerate my job (most of the time), but now that there is a finite end date to it all it just seems all the more frustrating! Kind of opposite to what I'd expect. But yes... 4 more months :banghead: Woohoo!
