  1. NP education - a rant

    BAtoCNM replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That last post seems contradictory. Are pre-NCLEX students allowed to take graduate clinicals or aren't

  2. Unfair Exam Practices

    BAtoCNM replied to angel5113's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I work for a medical school and as far as I can tell, there is no requirement for clinical experience whatsoever to enter most medical programs. They just dump the info on you, throw you onto the...

  3. Difference Between WHNP & CNM?

    BAtoCNM replied to CDianeH88's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    At UPenn you can get both at the same time. I've heard it's to broaden your options when looking for jobs, expand your scope of practice, and/or give you something to fall back on if you don't want...

  4. Nurse practitioner VS. MD

    BAtoCNM replied to Keyzee's topic in Nursing Career

    I am also not an NP but am headed that way after seriously considering medical school (after graduating from a great liberal arts college myself). What helped me was the following: 1-Shadowing NPs...

  5. Graduate Entry Nurse Midwives

    BAtoCNM replied to lindyhopper's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    PS - Congrats, Lindy! I know those programs are super

  6. Direct Entry MSN prerequisites?

    BAtoCNM replied to EffinP_Meg's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm looking into grad entry programs too and it DEFINITELY depends on the program. Also, what's your timetable? At UPenn, for instance, there are 2 entry to practice tracks. One takes a little...

  8. Info on direct entry w/MSN + BSN?

    BAtoCNM replied to Myethpio's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not exactly sure what you're asking, but I think you should check out University of Pennsylvania, Columbia U, Oregon Health Sciences, Yale, and Vanderbilt. They have master's entry programs and they...

  9. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for your post, Quinze! It's great to hear from med students, docs, etc, etc. We'll all be working together some day, right? So of course we should share info. Dr. Merry - Quinze is right....

  10. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    Check out UPenn's CNM/WHNP

  11. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    Out of curiosity Merry, do you have a really clear idea of what nurse practitioners/advanced practice nurses actually do? It's not the same as what RNs do, and advanced practice nursing might fulfill...

  12. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    Tell you what. You make the best decision for you career-wise, financially, personally, etc. And we'll all call you doctor either way. Sound good, Dr.

  13. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    No, it's not terrible that you want to be a Dr. Merry, if this is so hard, could that mean it's the wrong choice, at least for

  14. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    I just thought of something that was an issue for me last year. How important is prestige for you? Does "Dr. Merry" have a special ring to it that you would be devastated to lose? I'm being totally...

  15. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    FLAgal: what did you decide? Any regrets? Merry: I'm sure you did work very hard to get to this point. However, if you've completed pre-med reqs you're in fine shape to pursue nursing or a number...

  16. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    I wish I could be of more help, but I'm just in the application phase of my nursing journey (that's why I prefaced my post with "for what it's worth"). However, I arrived at this point after...

  17. Please Help! Confused, soon to be...?

    BAtoCNM replied to merry01's topic in Nursing Career

    For what it's worth, I've been researching the two career paths myself lately and I think it comes down to models of care. The nurse practitioner model is very different from the medical model -...

  18. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

    BAtoCNM replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They gave me a 28K scholarship, stafford loans, and private loans which completely covered my costs for tuition and living expenses. Of course it costs a fortune, it's not only a private school...

  19. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

    BAtoCNM replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for your post; it was very helpful. I went to a private school undergraduate and they, due to their large endowment, had terrific financial aid. On the other hand, I have heard from some...

    BAtoCNM replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been hearing a lot of bad things about Columbia . . . they give no aid, it costs a fortune . . . what are your

  21. Funding question: Direct entry MSN programs

    BAtoCNM replied to romie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, so pardon my ignorance. I'm thinking of applying for midwifery programs (accelerated, as my BA and MA are in two other fields) but have NO CLUE how hard it is to...
