  1. Pros and Cons of Direct Entry NP Programs?

    Ohm108 replied to daisychains11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. It is affiliated with the Mass Gen Hospital network. My friends from Boston have said that it is a good school with a good...

  2. Master's Entry vs. Accelerated Bachelor's

    Ohm108 replied to b00p's topic in School, College Programs

    From what I have read and seen, if you do not have prior nursing experience you will be treated the same as any other newly graduated nurse whether you have a BSN or MSN so there will be no difference...

  3. RN licensure required?

    Ohm108 replied to ghost_'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you apply to a direct entry NP program you will normally study your first year to pass the NCLEX to become an RN before you move into your specialty training. In this case you don’t need to have...

  4. How did your program teach physical assessment?

    Ohm108 replied to Ready2GradMay09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’m in a B&M program and this is how they teach us physical assessment, everything is done live and in person: We have a 2 semester class devoted to Advanced Health Assessment. We are lectured...

  5. Master's Entry vs. Accelerated Bachelor's

    Ohm108 replied to b00p's topic in School, College Programs

    The CNL title is still relatively new. The first group of nurses to sit and take the CNL exam happened in 2007. This means that the CNL compared to the other nursing roles/titles is relatively new...

  6. Master's Entry vs. Accelerated Bachelor's

    Ohm108 replied to b00p's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, as a MSN-CNL you don't have to specialize which was my point. If you don't know what area you want to specialize in then getting your CNL first and working for a few years might be a good path...

  7. 56 and considering NP school

    Ohm108 replied to caycar123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For me personally as an older student, I always encourage people to obtain more education if it is something they are interested in and will help them achieve a goal. At the same time, and this is...

  8. Frontier or Georgetown

    Ohm108 replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    When I was exploring midwifery programs, I only heard really good things about Frontier. I don't know much about the Georgetown's program but in terms of the quality of the program and name...

  9. Master's Entry vs. Accelerated Bachelor's

    Ohm108 replied to b00p's topic in School, College Programs

    The various nursing pathways can get kind of confusing but echoing @hakutai839 if you do a MSN-CNL, you will need to go back and complete a post-masters program in order to be considered an NP. You...

  11. I heard they were making the NCLEX harder in January 2019

    Ohm108 replied to SilverNova's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to revive this thread because I am most likely taking the NCLEX later this year. Do we have any other updates or new information on what the changes are to the NCLEX this...

  14. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    The people in my cohort live in many different places. We have a few students who live at home in CT and commute in and we have others that live an hour away with their partner and they chose a place...

    Congratulations to all of you. For those of you who were waitlisted or not accepted into the program, I wish you the best of luck. There are many wonderful programs out there and you all will be...

  16. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Resubmit again but this time only include Yale in your list of schools and put it as 1st year graduate program. You can resend the FAFSA as many times as you need but I suggest grouping your schools...

  17. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    You are very welcome. Let me know if you or any prospective students have any more questions. We are in the middle of finals and about to finish our first semester but I will try to get back to...

  18. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Are you asking if your pre-reqs can be used in place of the classes you will be taking at YSN thus shortening your time in the program? The general answer is no. You have to take all the classes...

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Congratulations on everyone who have gotten interviews or are going to have interviews. It is an exciting time and I hope to meet some of you next year. Some advice that helped me when I interviewed:...

  20. OB class makes me depressed...

    Ohm108 replied to erikathered's topic in General Students

    I can't exactly relate to what you are feeling but as a guy going through a program that will ultimately make me a midwife, I know already that I won't have any biological children of my own. I am...

  21. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Short answer is no you don't feel connected to main campus but other current students might have a different opinion. The longer answer is more complicated and yes you have access to main campus...

  22. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    If you can make it, I encourage you to come and visit the campus. You are going to be spending a lot of time and money here if you are accepted so it will help if you start to have an inkling whether...

  23. Yale GEPN 2019

    Ohm108 replied to Ace2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Good luck to all of you. I am a current GEPN and remember that waiting was the hardest part of the entire process no matter where we applied. We didn't receive our interview invitations until Dec when...

  24. GPA for NP School

    Ohm108 replied to MariaHarrington's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agree with Cococure. Above 3.4 - 3.5 to be competitive. While people with lower GPAs have been admitted to NP school it will also depend on what else you are bringing to the table. Do you have other...

  25. ARRIVE trial results - elective induction of labor at 39 weeks

    Ohm108 replied to queenanneslace's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    In this context, I believe the author is referring to the fact that an OBGYN (though not all -there are of course more interventionist leaning midwives and more holistic OBGYNs, that depends on where...
