   And the scarier part is that the OP works as a teacher currently according to this site.

2. Vaccination for clinical

   Guest123456788 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

   ...Why do people who don't believe in science or medicine want to go to nursing school?

3. Pre nursing student has a question for current RNs

   Guest123456788 replied to HotSauce77's topic in General Nursing

   Going to have to disagree with the second paragraph, I personally don't think there's anything better than seeing a patient come in to the psych unit unable to function and leave stable and with a support system built up around them.

4. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   Guest123456788 replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   You'll have to buy at least 2 pairs of scrubs (but most people choose to buy more), Kaplan NCLEX review, and a kit that includes a stethoscope/penlight/other supplies for clinical. All of this is allotted for in your cost of attendance so you can get...

   Guest123456788 replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   If you are able to prioritize studying during the week in order to have Saturdays open for work then you should be ok, personally I liked having my weekend open so I could study one day and have the other day off (or sometimes study both days if ther...

6. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   Guest123456788 replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   The schedule during MDE is very busy, you will pretty much always have class from at least 8-5 Monday-Friday (some evenings you may have simulation and have to stay later). In addition to that time in class, you will have a lot to study outside of cl...

7. Applied for a position that is now on hold

   Guest123456788 replied to advsmuch08's topic in General Nursing

   If I were in this situation I would start looking for other opportunities but still keep your application in their pool. There is no rule that you can't pursue other job openings while you wait to hear about the hiring hold so it doesn't hurt to keep...

8. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   Guest123456788 replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   I don't live on campus and the majority of students I know don't but there are a few. I have heard mixed reviews from the people who live in Bard, some like it and some feel like it is too similar to the dorms they had in undergrad. It is convenient ...

9. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   Guest123456788 replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   Yes I am in the psych DNP! I just started it so cannot really give much of an opinion yet (I have found that the first semesters of nursing programs tend to be introductory and not really give as much indication of how the rest of the program will be...

10. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    Guest123456788 replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

    I received the MDE scholarship ($27,000) and the MDE-DNP seamless scholarship ($40,000), but no outside scholarships. It is very expensive even with scholarships and you really have to weigh if your ultimate career goals will be benefitted by attendi...

    Jumping in here late this year but I am a current Columbia DNP student (finished MDE last year), feel free to message with any questions!

12. ABSN vs. Direct Entry MSN?

    Guest123456788 replied to sesw1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I actually am doing my DNP at the same school I did the direct entry MSN (I was accepted to both when I applied) but I can't imagine it would be super difficult considering many NP programs take applicants with their BSN and RN license and the MSN ha...

13. ABSN vs. Direct Entry MSN?

    Guest123456788 replied to sesw1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Going to play devil's advocate because I just completed a direct entry MSN (and am now doing a DNP program). The direct entry MSN, unless Hopkins has a specialized track, should be BSN classes plus a few extra classes in leadership and research. It d...

14. Just got accepted to nursing school and I'm not excited.

    Guest123456788 replied to mom2twins9909's topic in General Students

    Then don't go? I don't understand the question..

15. Which of following patients is at highest risk for fluid overload?

    Guest123456788 replied to disenchanted1's topic in General Students

    Since you aren't going to get to take your exams by posting on internet forums (or the NCLEX for that matter) it would be really beneficial for you to listen to the advice you are getting on here and put the thought (your own thought) into answering ...
