    human anatomy

    Asherah replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure what "all written" means, unless you mean no multiple choice? Or all written essay? All of my anatomy exams were written or practicum, so I'm fairly sure its not that uncommon. It will...

    Asherah replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not to hijack the thread but to all of you future Columbia ETPers that are using any form of financial aid: Do you have to submit your letter of intent before you find out what kind of aid you...

    Anyone applying to direct entry msn programs in California?

    Asherah replied to chachingdy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been in contact with a woman who began the MECN program last fall (actually emailed her from a thread that she posted in last year) and she wasn't able to provide a general consensus of what the...

    FAFSA- before or after acceptance?

    Asherah replied to kela1100's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually, you don't have to wait, because as I posted earlier...the FAFSA allows you to estimate your AGI (adjusted gross income) which is what they use when calculating your income, assets and EFC...

    Asherah replied to kela1100's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Recommendation for Personal Statement

    Asherah replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There is an abundance of good advice on this thread (and others) regarding what should and shouldn't be included in a personal statement. I really don't think there is any harm in asking friends,...

    Statistics without recent algebra?

    Asherah replied to tofutti's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just to back up all of the other replies...IMO, Stats is in a whole other corner of the math world than anything else (alg, geo, calc). I think this was one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much, as...

    Asherah replied to niki_m787's topic in Post Graduate Students

    FYI, I have not applied to this program for the following term, but have inquired about it in case I need to reapply to programs in 08'. The program at Columbia you are inquiring about is what you...

    Starting school! very scared!

    Asherah replied to beba42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let me speak from my experience that began exactly one year ago when I decided to get back into school and start completing my pre-reqs, so I (and most of us around here) know how you're feeling. I...

    Letters of Recommendation - Direct Entry

    Asherah replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Which non-prereq should I take? Genetics or Pharmacology?

    Asherah posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I'm just adding an extra 3 unit course to beef up the GPA, and neither the Genetics/Evolutionary Biology course or the Pharmacology course are considered qualified pre-reqs for the UCLA program...

    Which non-prereq should I take? Genetics or Pharmacology?

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the valuable advice, all! I knew I'd get some voices of experience around here. I'm going with the Pharm, and found out that the text we'll be using (Pharmacology for Nursing Care:Lehne)...

    Anatomy without a book??

    Asherah replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would imagine that if the school bookstore is backordered and indeed, if the entire class is in the same situation the professor has to make some concessions in terms of potential test material, or...

    Back-up Plans??

    Asherah replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I too have no back-up plan for the Fall 2007 term. I applied only to the UCLA MECN program (did my undergrad there, and I really enjoy the campus/environment, so it is my primary choice). If I don't...
