The fourth floor (south) is the med/surg unit: 39 beds Fourth floor north is ortho/rehab. Third floor is cardiology/women's health Not sure about the others. Each floor has an ICU section. And i'm sure they are always hiring because it's a brutal pla...

If you are a new grad, I would encourage you to look elsewhere. GW is a hard hospital to work in as a new grad. I came to GW with a year of experience in New York, thinking I could handle DC. My reply is for the general med/surg floor (the only one i...

Macizu, I made the leap three years ago and just finished the BSN portion this month (May). It's a decision i only wish i'd made sooner in life (let's just say i'm a little older). Your A&P will be a fundamental skill throughout your nursing clas...

Took the test May 29....got all 265 questions...sat for six hours straight answering questions until i was delirious... but I got the results today: I PASSED!!!!!!! what a huge relief.

current ETPer... i have a pair of white crocs that i wear. i used white out over the croc logo on the side.

lovetotravel2001, i wouldn't worry too much about the pants being short...just wash them in cold water. with all the stuff in your pants, they'll be drooping down anyway :) the tunic has the school crown logo and 'Columbia University School of Nursi...

Here's my advice on some issues on this thread: Stethoscope: I got one of the 'expensive' ones and haven't regretted it. I've had no issues with people trying to steal it because it's usually (a) at home on non-clinical days or (b) around my neck or...

go get the hoodie!!!!

biladiabla, i don't live on campus now, so I'm not the best to answer your question, but you'll get a packet soon (very soon if i remember correctly) about housing. as a 'domociled couple,' you can get into the housing they offer at the medical campu...

hi l_eisha, First off, it's good you went to the open house. Lots of good info. is given there. As far as your questions: it depends on where you're coming from prior to this program. I was a career changer with no science background (excepct for pre...

Hope to meet y'all during visiting day... it's a great way to meet faculty, see some potential classmates, and get your bearings around campus before you actually get here. I highly recommend you coming to visitation day! And who knows, I may get to ...

I agree with T-Rock, NFT is a great resource. My copy has gotten very dog-eared in the short month that I've had it.

Question for the 2007 class: Anyone having trouble finding the recommended reading texts? The Henke's med-math is unavailable on amazon. Just wondering if others are finding it and where? Thanks!

I'll be there too.

DG, Not sure if my two cents will help, but I'm going with the most expensive stethoscope (the cardiology III i think it is). My reasoning is that it's an investment, and will likely serve me years beyond school. As for the sizes, I'm guessing...ca...

I think we'll be given that information once we've officially accepted the admission by giving them the deposit.

I agree, anniepants. I'm actually planning on reviewing my A&P between now and then. After all, we're getting the 'compressed' version of a bachelor's in 12 months. I expect it will be fast, furious, and exciting all at once.

My call was from Barbara (don't recall the last name), on behalf of the admissions committee. The call came in after 4 pm on Wed., Feb 7. I applied for the adult/gerontology track.

I agree with you BeaconStreet on the differences. I'm on a dual adult/gerontology track and felt that, while Yale has a great program, I would be arranging some of my clinical experiences in the gerontology portion, so Columbia appears stronger for m...

Finally!!!!! I got my letter today (Feb. 9), but the wait was worth it. Two Ivy acceptances in one week! It's a great feeling!

I also got a phone call (voicemail). According to the caller, the letters will be arriving next week. Congrats , anniepants!

I'm still waiting too, cozzy66 Hoping you hear good news when it finally gets to you! I live in DC, and our mail has to be snooped through before we can see it :)

Thanks for the info, Kurlyz26! This will no doubt go down as the longest weekend in recorded history!
