Thank you!! Happy to answer any other questions!

That's what I've heard. I got into Yale's GEPN program and we're to start in about 3 weeks but then this acceptance came about. If my goal is to be a CRNA, this would shave a year off since Yale's program is 3 years but I can also take a gap year at Yale after getting RN license to work/gain experience or whatever. I know Yale's program is definitely more established and organized but I read and heard things about Columbia's program - good and bad!

Ah! I've never called and always emailed but they're usually fast so this is atypical - from my experience. $500 for a seat and we have until 8/4 deadline. My experience with them is atypical, they've always been fast response and turn around time but I've heard from other people it's disorganized and slow response. I don't mind being the first guina pig but I just want to make sure I'm going to get what I need in terms of experience and employment afterwards.

Yep! they quote us 150k as just the tuition alone but they gave me scholarship. It works if you're juggling other responsibilities, I believe. My other program ends in a NP but I'm interested in CRNA school so I'm unsure which to go to. This is a newer program and the other is more established. I'm just looking to see which one will get me a job faster. Thoughts?

Congrats!! I'm accepted to start in 2 weeks so kinda juggling. I had emailed them about some questions I had so waiting to hear back.

Here's the email: We are excited to announce the launch of our new Hybrid Master's Entry to Nursing (HMDE) program, starting this Fall! This innovative hybrid format 24-month program is designed specifically for non-nursing college graduates who aspire to become registered nurses (RNs). The Hybrid MDE program offers a unique opportunity for students to ease into the transition to graduate school, making it an ideal choice for those with competing priorities that may prevent them from enrolling in a traditional accelerated nursing program. Program Highlights: Fully remote for the first two semesters (Fall 2025 - Spring 2026: 9 months total): Fully remote classes held on Tuesdays, available in both synchronous and asynchronous formats. During this time, you will learn the core fundamentals of nursing. On-campus for the final 15 months (Summer 2026 - Summer 2027): After the initial two semesters, you will join your MDE cohort on-campus with a reduced course load (compared to the accelerated MDE program), allowing for a more manageable transition into hands-on nursing education for your final 4 semesters. Most prerequisites can be completed during program: Human Anatomy & Physiology I and II must be completed prior to the start of the program. The rest of the prerequisites can be completed concurrently through our OPEN program during the first two semesters of the Hybrid MDE program (see Admissions Requirements below for details). Degree awarded is a Masters of Science in Nursing: RN licensure eligible upon completion. Financial aid is available: Scholarships and federal loans are available. And attached the program plan.

Last week. I was accepted to another program and kinda don't know what to do. Considering this is a newer program, what are all of your hesitations?

Hi - I was accepted, too and hesitant cause it's a newer program and nothing is on the site.
