"I was wondering exactly what you mean by "five by five" classes. Are there six (5 wk.) rotations, three in the fall and three in the spring before integration or am I missing something?" there are 5 different rotations, each 5 weeks long. you'll h...

the program directors warned us not to have any big life events during ETP, but i got married and moved to a new apartment within the past year during the course of the program, and i survived :). i also know another student that got married during ...

i'm currently in the RN portion of the program. i can't say for sure exactly how many of us were accepted into acute...but i think there were around 10-12 of us that came in...perhaps a few more?...that's just a rough estimation. i'm not sure how m...

congrats, you guys! im currently at columbia in the acute care track...awesome to see so many acute care people out there :) will you guys be attending the visiting day?

i second that, dg05. i also was not contacted for an interview. there has been talk about introducing an interview into the application process for future applicants, but nothing has been decided or set yet. i'd definitely consider the essay your ...

we'll be receiving our uniforms and equipment during orientation, so no worries :). can't wait to see everyone in 9 days!

hi! im in a somewhat similar boat. i currently live on the upper east side, but will be getting married in august and moving to brooklyn. where in brooklyn will you be commuting from? i'll be coming from williamsburg, so i think that i'll take th...

is anyone planning on using a laptop to take notes in class? does anyone know if there are outlets to plug a laptop into in the classrooms?

i agree...i welcome the one month break in august! i'll actually be getting married during that break, so it'd better be true :). one student i contacted did tell me that the break is a much-needed break after the first intense "boot-camp" summer se...

mine was around 4pm on wed, and i'm in acute care.

my expectation is that in any accelerated program, you would have to do some degree of self teaching. its fast...that's why its an accelerated program.

congrats!!!!

i'm a midwest girl, too (born and raised in oklahoma), and i've been living in nyc for the past 2 years. yes, it IS harsh here. everyone's always rushing around doing their own thing. nobody says hello to you on the street or in the market like t...
