   qbcd08 replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I'm not sure why you keep misreading. I said that I spoke to current students of the program. I also spoke to one person who graduated from the program. I never said they were from my "friends out...

   qbcd08 replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I'm not set on Columbia, but Columbia has more benefits in my opinion. It's just the cost that's the major deterrant. I spoke to current students and emailed the program director. I'm not blind, I...

   qbcd08 replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Let me know what you end up choosing! I'm in a similar situation. From talking to current students, I found out that you aren't awarded your BSN until you graduate with the MSN. It's hard to break...

   qbcd08 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

   It's for tuition only. Crazy expensive! The seamless transition to DNP scholarship is being raised to 40 up from 26.5k, however. You will get 20k year 1 and 20k year 2 of the

7. MGH IHP DE NP 2018

   qbcd08 replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Thank you so much for your input! I've heard good things about MGH's program from current students too, and they feel it adequately prepares them to start off as a new nurse. That's why it's so...

   qbcd08 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

   It is right though. Costs were discussed in both Facebook groups. Also, we're going to be charged a flat rate instead of per-unit. There was also the first financial aid webinar today. 26,874 + 27,680...

   qbcd08 replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I'm facing a similar decision and also from California, except mine is between Columbia and MGH! I really can't decide either. $38,000 for a BSN AND MSN is SO GOOD. Let me know what you choose! One...

    qbcd08 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe it's 27k for 4 semesters for MDE plus 54k per year for DNP. 108k + 168k =

    qbcd08 replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the input! I'm currently deciding between Columbia and MGH, but really don't know which to choose. Columbia's cost is off-putting, but I got a very generous scholarship from MGH. If cost...

    Did you speak to any current students? What was your impression about the program and area when you

    Do you know if the paid residency during the last year for the DNP is working as an RN or working as an

15. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    qbcd08 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    I was considering these same points as well. I believe Columbia has very good clinical sites as well. If price wasn't a factor, I'd definitely still stick with Columbia, but I'm not so sure now. With...
