  1. Yale GEPN 2021

    I’m guessing there’ll be a (virtual) admitted students day where we could connect with current students. Or you could always reach out to admissions asking to be put in contact with YSN’s black...
  2. Loyola University ABSN Spring 2020

    Thanks for sharing! Could you speak a bit about how the program itself has been? Any big complaints?
  3. Yale GEPN 2021

    Thank you for taking the time to write this. I am so incredibly disappointed to read it. I absolutely plan to reach out to students/alums of color if I'm
  4. I'm a career changer applying to ABSN programs. Several of these programs graduate each cohort in December. Is it common for top teaching hospitals to have new grad residencies that start in...
  5. Confused about residency options

    Thank you! In that case, two follow ups ? -- How long is a typical residency, and what's standard for hiring afterwards (all are hired, most, only the best
  6. Confused about residency options

    Thanks for explaining! Honestly as I’m early in this process a lot of the hiring/immediate post grad stuff is still a mystery to
  7. Degree in different field before nursing school

    Definitely transfer and get the BSN now if you can get admitted. I have a previous degree and am going the accelerated BSN/MSN route, but that's only because I didn't know this is what I wanted when I...
  8. Yale GEPN 2021

    From combing last year's threads, I'd expect at least the basics - tell us about yourself, why nursing/(your speciality), why Yale, how do you add to diversity of the school. Be able to show you...
  9. Yale GEPN 2021

    I mean, I've been checking it a *little* compulsively, that should go without saying...
  10. Yale GEPN 2021

    Thanks so much for asking! I think it was a little earlier last year (based on prior comment on this thread), so I would've been anxiously checking email all day probably starting end of next week. At...
  11. Thoughts on ABSN/ELMSN School Debt

    May I ask which school this is? Sounds awesome
  12. This is my perspective, as someone around the same age. I've just applied to direct entry MSN programs (I have a non-nursing Bachelor's degree in an unrelated field). Personally I would stick to...
  13. Yale GEPN 2021

    I hope everyone had a quiet and restful Thanksgiving. I suppose interview decisions come out in 2-3 weeks? That’s soon! Hopefully closer to 2 than 3
  14. Yale GEPN 2021

    I'm also a leftie POC and I agree with this. If the professor made a sincere apology and learned from this that would have sufficed in my book. . That said, getting to the point of context,...
  15. Yale GEPN 2021

    Personally I think of CVs as being for academics who have publications to list off. I cut my down to 1 page. That said, I don't think you'll irk anyone having it longer, especially if you have a lot...
  16. Yale GEPN 2021

    I'm in a similar demographic (older with kids). It ruled out the 4+ year programs, and anywhere expensive like SF or NYC as we'd need to rent a house big enough for a family of 5 on one income and one...
  17. Yale GEPN 2021

    Hello! I applied to Vanderbilt (midwifery track) and Rush. Rush is a generalist program, so I'd need to go on to a MSN/DNP in midwifery somewhere else afterwards, but it's local to me and an...
  18. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    I've been wondering too; perhaps due to Covid it will be less
  19. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    It's going to be a loooooong Winter
  20. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    Relieved it's all in, but at the same time grappling with the fact that it'll be radio silence until we hear the decisions in February (they don't do interviews,
  21. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    If any current cohort students are still around this thread, I'd be really interested to hear more about how you are matched to clinical sites during the specialty year. I'm going for midwifery where...
  22. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    Now it's starting to come back to me and I interpreted it this way as well (are you applying for a dual degree or other Vanderbilt programs). That said I'm wishing I could go back and read through my...
  23. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    Was there a spot on the application where it asked where else we applied? If so I totally missed it. I only applied two other places - Yale and Rush. I know there's a decent chance I get...
  24. Yale GEPN 2021

    When I had this section it read something like "Volunteer-tutor to underserved elementary students in classical cello. Enjoys cooking, hiking, traveling, and
  25. Yale GEPN 2021

    I would if you have room. It shows a slice of your personality. Im 10 years out of college and I just don't have room on a single
