I recommend you just take the EBP course, most got As. It was not a hard course at all. I also have an MPH and I actually chose to exempt the class as I had upper level research courses in my coursework. They exempt you from having to take it, but th...

Thank you! So for all our classes we did majority of the coursework in person before this whole pandemic happened. So we have moved fully online. This means we meet at regularly assigned hours online via Zoom. You must sign on and remain signed on to...

Thank you for your kind words. So far we haven't really discussed the far reaching implications of this virus in terms of policy, social environment, etc. It really has been a whirlwind of decision making, meetings, changes, etc. Trying to adapt and ...

Hello current MDE student here. You are correct. Even though we lost 3 weeks of our final 5x5 clinical rotation, we were able to do a clinical simulation online for more hours. CUSON has way over the minimum requirements for clinical licensure in all...

Great advice the sincerelymeagan.com blog is a great resource to see what it was like for Meagan to apply to different school, to start in the MDE, adapt to NYC, then move on to doctoral studies. I also highly recommend it, it helped me last applicat...

You will receive an email shortly asking you to sign up for visiting day and it will have a schedule of activities and times. That's awesome that you went to Honduras! What part? I am Honduran ❤️

People are pulled off the waitlist, especially after visiting day. There are a few who end up deciding to go elsewhere, and this opens up spots in the program.

Hello Everyone, Congratulations to all of those accepted into their respective programs! I know the wait was excruciating, I was there too not too long ago. I hope all of you will be making it to visiting day. I will be a student ambassador for that ...

There are are no early decisions for Columbia Nursing. I am in the current MDE cohort and we found out our decisions January 25, 2019.

I can't speak too too much on the DNP PMHNP program as I have not coursed through there yet. But I can tell you that upperclassmen have said they enjoy it. It is consistently ranked top 10 in the country. Recently the program was reduced to a 2 year ...

@FuturePNP18 While I can't give too much personal info I will say this. my undergrad GPA was a 3.29, but I also have an MPH, and come from a diverse life background. Columbia has room for many individuals, takes a pretty large cohort (180-200 student...

Hey Everyone, You are most definitely starting this application process to Columbia University School of Nursing quite early, but that isn't a bad thing. I am a current student, just finished my first semester (Summer) in the MDE program. I am MDE/DN...

To note. Literature exists that shows that using first-time pass rates for the NCLEX as the sole program quality criterion is not the best way to gauge a program's standing or worth (articles attached, you make your own conclusions). What happened to...

I'm also not going, I'm out of the country until April 9 Really wish I could make it.

OMG!! I apologize to everyone, I forgot to report back to you all. Yes the adcom accepted my Biochemistry course to fulfill the Nutrition requirement. Just make sure you contact them, present your case and course you took and provide a syllabus. Depe...

If you have federal employment whether civil service or uniformed service payscale is higher for doctorally prepared clinicians. Also doctoral education paves the way for teaching positions if that's something you like. :)

That is why I think the program at Columbia is superior. It takes roughly 4 years but you graduate with an MSN+DNP+Specialty. If you go to Yale and would like to have a Doctoral degree in Nursing you would have to commit to 3 years + the additional t...

Does anyone have any idea when we will get the financial aid packages? I know for other years they came out alongside the decision letters. Seems this year was different in alot of ways.

Same here, I only got the MDE/DNP seamless not the MDE one.

Congrats! When I went to the virtual open house we were told MDE only was 110K and the DNP was roughly 160K for a total of 270K in tuition alone.

Decisions are out!!! Admitted MDE/DNP in Psychiatric Mental Health with scholarship!!! ?????????????? Good Luck everyone!!

Thank you so much for this information!!

If prior trends continue I hope between Wednesday January 30-Friday February 2!!! These next two weeks couldn't come any faster!!! I feel like when you are really waiting for something time just decides to slow down LOL

Yeah I also had this concern. I wonder if they are going to wait til after decisions are out to have us do essays for scholarships.

Happy late Holidays to everyone and Happy New Year. We can finally comment again after the site upgrade ?!! We are in the home stretch of this long wait!!!
