Hi I need some advice. So I’ve been working on an ICU floor for a year in a big city hospital. I’ve learned so much and there was a ton I didn’t like about the hospital but I always felt supported by the hospital and most of the staff. I’ve taken car...

I wanted to come back to this thread and thank everyone for their responses. It was a year ago but I stuck it out another week then quit. I almost wish I’d used more descriptive language when I told the manager I wasn’t coming back. It’s a hospital s...

Hey! I know this is a very late response, but I started a PICU job as a new grad the same time I was in my second semester of a DNP FNP program. I'm now 8 months into my role in the PICU and have one year left of the DNP program. It's been very chall...

Hey! The NCLEX pass rate for 2017 was 92%. For 2018 it was 88.5% (this is on their site). I know it should be higher; I just want to point out a few things. First, Columbia has roughly 200 students who take the NCLEX, meaning roughly 178 passed and 2...

Crawling out of night shift like...

I believe the 27K was the number from the previous cohort. But to answer your question, no. It was 24K+8K = 32K as the most I've heard. Others I've spoken to received the 24K if they only filed FAFSA. Again though, ask fin aid! They would be more hel...

Hey all! Regarding some fin aid questions, in my cohort, most students who filed FAFSA received a 24K need based scholarship. We also received merit scholarship added to the need based depending on whether or not we filled out an application composed...

Hey! I'm guessing you're asking about clinical hours - I believe we get about 1000 clinical hours if you add up both clinical days and simulation lab hours. In my cohort the study abroad is not until April when our integration begins, but Columbia ha...

Hi! I know you asked a couple questions that another MDE responded too as well. I'll try to aggregate all the responses here. Prices for supplies depended on where you bought them. You need scrub tops (must be purchased through school), scrub bottoms...

Hey all! Current MDE, feel free to PM me to ask questions. I know I had a lot when I first got accepted and when I started. Would be happy to help you in any way I can!

I think you'll be more than okay, successful, and happy no matter what you choose to do! The TA opportunities really depend on how many classes you want to TA for. I believe depending on the credits you get a certain amount of reimbursements. And I'm...

Hi, I know what program you're talking about and I wanted to provide you with some comfort that there are many options to have tuition decreased during the DNP portion. For one, there is the seamless scholarship offered after the MSN. Second, many cu...

The waitlist letter said if there's any movement in our application we would be notified after March 17th, but no later than April 15th (which is this Sunday). I also found it weird that it was a Sunday! The communication has truly been horrendous

I emailed and called multiple times with no response their admissions office is really quite awful. But hoping we at least get some info after the 17th!

Hey! Have any waitlisted applicants inquired about the process or heard anything from FC? I'm trying to decide if I should hold out for an acceptance or completely commit elsewhere.

For anyone Waitlisted, I contacted Sandy and asked about the process. Deposits for accepted students are due March 16th. If a spot opens up for your speciality, the admissions committee will look over applicants and offer a spot to a waitlist. They p...

Yes! I've read about that one. I was wondering if anyone knew about the merit scholarships that were offered during MDE year (not the MDE need-based scholarship). But I think I'll just ask during the financial aid Q & A. An additional couple thou...

Does anyone know if merit scholarships offered for MDE portion are also continued to those in the MDE/DNP? I couldn't find any info on it in the financial aid award letter, but I really wouldn't see why it wouldn't apply to the DNP years also and if ...

Haha it's definitely comforting to know others are in a similar boat! :)

I was waitlisted for FNP. I'll be accepting Columbia!

Have any FNP applicants recieved anything? I have nothing posted on my application. It has looked exactly the same since I applied. Getting anxious seeing everyone else hearing back. Congrats to everyone who was admitted and if you are waitlisted or ...

Thank you for your calm spirit! I've been so worried because the admissions office is non-responsive at all I called FC and the admissions office, no reply. Emailed and no reply. There's just not much to do other than wait I guess!

Have any FNP applicants recieved any info at all since initially submitting the app?

Hey! I interviewed already for FNP. Overall, it was fairly relaxed! It really does depend on your interviewer. My interviewer asked me more of the typical interview questions - she started by asking me to tell her a little about myself, what are my s...

Great, thank you! Do you know if we also need to mail them again?
