   elmtree replied to lucy1244's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks an2d and mma22664 for commiserating with me. I called them this morning and the woman I spoke with looked up my account and told me it was a mistake, and changed me to early priority since it was submitted by November 1st. Thank God! I truly ...

   Thank you for all the information you provided, TangoDeux. Very helpful! I submitted right on November 1st; one of my recommenders was unable to submit her letter prior because she was out of the country. I was under the impression that if we submitt...

   Did anyone who applied by the Nov. 1st deadline get an email saying your application will be considered on a rolling basis? I even have a confirmation email from the school that they received my application by November 1st so I am a little confused a...

7. A lot of Hate toward NP Students without years of RN experience

   elmtree replied to jenn17's topic in NP Students

   Personally, I think it is a bunch of BS. People need to get a life and stop acting like direct entry programs are the demise of the nursing profession. Where is the evidence (anecdotal evidence does not count) that indicates this is true? Where is th...

   elmtree replied to elmtree's topic in Advanced

   Thanks for your input BCgradnurse, it's greatly appreciated. I have thought about doing psych but I am afraid that if I did I'd end up just peddling drugs and I think that's a big problem. In my current district I see tons of young kids on 5 differen...

   I appreciate everyone's responses. Ocra I think you make a very good point and I agree with you. Pappa2v EMT B, epidemiology does sound interesting, but I would rather work with people one on one instead of in an administrative role. I think you'r...

    Thanks for the comments Dee angel, scuba nurse and MelEpiRN. No offense to anyone with a master of public health degree, but that does not sound interesting to me. I've considered going to other districts, and sort of hit on that in a prev. comment....

    Thank you meaghann3! That video was super helpful and opened up a whole other avenue of useful info-- who knew there were so many videos about becoming an NP via direct entry! Cococure, thanks so much for that suggestion! That sounds like a great way...

    elmtree replied to elmtree's topic in Advanced

    Cococure, yes I would like to shadow, and am going to start volunteering at a hospital to see how I like it. I haven't spoken to anyone who has done a direct entry program, was really hoping to hear from a few on this forum... What do you think is d...

    elmtree replied to elmtree's topic in Advanced

    Thank you both for your reply. Ruby Vee, yes I understand that as a direct entry student I will be doing a significant amount of clinical nursing in a hospital setting. I am not too concerned about the money, but that definitely is something I am wei...
