  1. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

    lovingpecola replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Guys! Clarification: THERE ARE NO GROUP INTERVIEWS! Interviews are all individual, you with one faculty member (and I believe you should already have the name of that faculty member who is...

  2. Post-graduate job success

    lovingpecola replied to contessa54's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you've been asked to interview I would just wait until you get here because most questions are answered at that time. And if they don't answer your question, be sure to

  3. What is the biggest frustration for nursing students?

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

    Students in my program (including myself) complain about teaching inconsistencies, travel to clinical placements (sometimes over an hour), not getting a break during two-hour lectures, and yes, some...

  4. NP program- what to expect

    lovingpecola replied to ICRN2008's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I find grad classes to be more difficult but much more rewarding. They are more time consuming, and my study habits have changed significantly, but I enjoy grad school ten times more than undergrad!...

  5. Post-graduate job success

    lovingpecola replied to contessa54's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've asked this same question several times, good luck with finding an answer! I can not answer from personal experience, but I can relay the answers from peers - and I think the answers you get will...

  6. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

    lovingpecola replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Swimkat: I think miss print's post is excellent! Don't be swayed only by the name! There are *so* many other issues to consider...what's your specialty (ie Midwifery, family health, oncology?) COST...

  7. "Hippie" Image

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I agree with the above poster in that people will always have something to say about whatever profession you choose! For me, CNM is a good way to have the best (and worst) of multiple childbirth...

  8. Direct-Entry Interview-Please help! :)

    lovingpecola replied to lc3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm glad you said something about the type of interview romie! I would have never guessed that an interview would be with 3 or 4 other students and 3 faculty members... Maybe this type of interview...

  9. Best Strategies for Reaching Millennial Students

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

    I agree with some of the above, but also, as a nursing student who just finished my first semester, I value and appreciate consistency. After trying so hard to perfect study habits and such, it is...

  10. DNP vs. PhD

    lovingpecola replied to jewelcutt's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't think the PhD track will decline at all. I do think we will eventually phase out all of the different titles and have only two: a practice-oriented one and an academic/research oriented one....

  11. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

    lovingpecola replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just posted this in another thread, and I'm just going to paste it here because I think it might answer a question in this thread, too: The questions are basic...I bet you already have them on your...

  12. Direct-Entry Interview-Please help! :)

    lovingpecola replied to lc3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The questions are basic...I bet you already have them on your list! My number one piece of advice for the actual interview is to know why you want to be whatever kind of NP you want to be, and be...

  13. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

    lovingpecola replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    MonY: I don't know how many interviewed, but I think there are 82 people in my class this year, not including the RNs that came in with us. Beacon: Here's the schedule that I followed from last year:...

  14. Marketability of a new NP?

    lovingpecola replied to PhillyKidRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with Joile on this one. In the Northeast, I believe it matters, and I say that because I notice a difference between how institutions (while on clinical assisgnments) treat me and my fellow...

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

    lovingpecola replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    i second bics comments. it's crazy. i was an english major and did a million essay exams...these scientific bubble-blank tests nearly killed me! and the memorizing is

  16. Yale GEPN Program: Letters, Interviews, and Questions, Oh my!!!

    lovingpecola replied to May_baby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    hey guys! i definitely think you guys should come to the potluck! students give lots of real advice, and it's your chance to ask anything you want without having to worry about how it affects your...

  17. Yale GEPN and UCSF MEPN interview days the same!

    lovingpecola replied to sci-fry's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It is my understanding that Yale has more than one interview day, I would call and ask if another one is available. I'm surprised the schools are conducting interviews on the same day...but even if...

  18. debt

    lovingpecola replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Good luck with this question! There are so few CNMs on the boards, I don't think you'll get a lot of responses...maybe calculate your debt load for each school you want to (or already) attend...then...

  19. midwives and cancer care

    lovingpecola replied to cherrymary's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I don't know the "real" answer to this, but I just came off of an Oncology floor for my last MedSurg (nursing school) rotation and the RNs there did some treatments at an outpatient "center" that was...

  20. Kicked out of school for being pregnant!?

    lovingpecola replied to ibambamama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I read through all of the posts and then read your post again and realized that you said "essentially." Did the professor/advisor said things like it will be "nearly impossible" or "highly unlikely"...

  21. Experience to Enter CNM Program

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Nizhoni, I didn't know homebirth was "legal" in every state...I thought there were some states that had a "neither legal nor illegal" status? In Nebraska, tspecifically Omaha, the homebirth midwives...

  22. Experience to Enter CNM Program

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I just realized that in my last post I said something about "the students in my program" right after I said something about New York...I don't go to Columbia! Just wanted to clarify, in case people...

  23. Experience to Enter CNM Program

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for being open-minded Trauma! As for the complications question: you do learn about complications (what they look like, what to do, why, etc.) in classes and through reading, but, in general,...

  24. Experience to Enter CNM Program

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Trauma, I don't know if your question was to any one particular person at first, but as a direct entry advanced practice student, I'll answer for myself: How did I know I wanted to be a midwife?...

  25. What is reasonable in terms of tuition?

    lovingpecola replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    A lot of classes at a time...very expensive school...and STILL a happy home and husband! LOL Everyone has their own idea about what's acceptable. I had already done the public education + state...
