    lovingpecola replied to Sixxer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    lovingpecola replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I was prepared mentally for how hard it would be, and STILL shocked. And after two years worth of work, I am STILL shocked by how hard this is. I don't think you can really understand it until...

  16. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

    lovingpecola replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    FYI: I am applying to PhD programs next year and a BS/BSN degree is not a requirement at ANY of the schools I've been looking at. (neither Yale, Penn, Duke, or Hopkins) Good Luck Folks!

  17. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    lovingpecola replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The class of 2007 had about 60 people in it, is that correct? So, less than 10% would mean they loss, what, 4 or 5 people? And was it all due to academics? Of course we don't want to lose any of...

  21. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    lovingpecola replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can't speak to your question directly. I just want to offer encouragement and to say kudos to you for "taking charge of your fertility" and really thinking about all of this before you do it!

  22. Yale Changed Their Admissions requirement for GEPN program

    lovingpecola replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually, they teach it, just like any other course nursing schools teach. If you haven't taken it, or did not earn a B in all portions of it, you must take the course. It's a laid back, fun kind of...
