    I just spoke to a friend that just started a direct-entry program at UPenn this past year who said that her coursework was online, but clinical hours and labs were in-person. I imagine not much will...

  18. MDE Columbia University 2021

    birthworker replied to eg96's topic in School, College Programs

    I noticed everyone seems to have applied for a DNP, and now I’m hitting myself for not having done so. Does anyone know if someone is able to apply for a DNP while completing the MDE? If so, is it...

    birthworker replied to eg96's topic in School, College Programs

    I only applied for the MDE, which does not allow for a specialty. My ultimate goal is to become a midwife, so I would either have to follow with the DNP in midwifery or attend another midwifery...

    birthworker replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    Mine was also fairly conversational as well. However, I think I overthought things, and didn’t study what she ultimately asked. The interview portion lasted about 15 minutes, and then I asked...
