  1. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    just chiming in to share that I currently commute to the school. Lived in Manhattan over the summer but my lease ended, so I moved back home to save money. My train ride takes about 40 min to get to Penn, then I take the subway from there. I really d...
  2. I need a 76 on my final to pass fundamentals

    Definitely meet with your professor prior to the exam. Come prepared -- bring your study guides and ask them to review it to point out anything you may have missed or misinterpreted, and a sheet with any questions you have. This will indicate to them...
  3. Patho vs Pharm

    Agreed with the above that pharm is a lot harder than patho. Pharm is soooo much memorization in my opinion, and tbh, I just didn't have the right study techniques to excel in that class. If I could take it again, I would start making charts to study...
  4. A great studying technique that I've learned is to be fully prepared for the test at least 3 days before the day of the test. I know nursing school is so hard (and I'm in an accelerated MSN program, so I promise that I really get it!) but it's so imp...
  5. Considering changing careers

    Hey! I'm a current nursing student in NYC and will be done in August. I've done clinicals at most of the private hospitals in NYC and many of the hospital administrators/nurses I have spoken to state that the starting salary for new grads (at these p...
  6. Microbiology course online?

    I took it at UNE online. The good thing about their courses is that they run them frequently (I think once a month), so if you're on a deadline and can't wait for traditional start times, this is a great option. Transferred to the private school I at...

    The fall semester has proven to be a lot more manageable. Still accelerated and a lot of work, but nothing compared to the summer. I think around 25 out of 200 have dropped out for various reasons
  8. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    I don't know that, sorry ? . Our "projected" cost for our second summer semester (tuition and fees only, not counting indirect costs) is $28,865 to be exact. LMK if you have any other q's, happy to answer here or through private message
  9. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    Hey all, chiming in as a current student. It seems like most people received merit based aid (with some GPAs that I know being 3.1 and still getting aid). I believe the standard need based aid scholarship was 30k (15k in fall, 15k in spring). They do...
  10. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    @birthjunki I'm a current student in the fall semester. There are lots of opportunities to volunteer using your nursing skills through the school. The school frequently has booths at local festivals (I believe Harlem Multicultural Festival was the mo...
