  1. New Student Needs Help w/ Shoes!

    dg05 replied to marie2000's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I really love the professional Merrells. They were recommended by an orthopedist and they're so much better than my Danskos. After 12 hours I'm still able to walk the 10 blocks home in the Merrells....

  2. NCLEX RN I had 24 SATA!!!

    dg05 replied to tempus fugit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used mostly Saunder's but also did a lot of Mosby questions and did chapters from the Illustrated guide to the NCLEX-RN. The best thing I did for myself the night before the test was dinner and a...

  3. NCLEX RN I had 24 SATA!!!

    dg05 replied to tempus fugit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX this morning and fully 1/3 of my questions were SATAs. Tempus, I sure hope you're right that it meant I was doing well because I left there feeling like there was no way that...

  4. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello all - if anyone is still reading this forum I just wanted to offer a word of encouragement. I just graduated from the ETP program and will take my NCLEX next month. I already have a job lined up...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You will receive lots of unrelated e-mails - mostly for lectures and things like that. Also professors like to send out random e-mails without telling you who they are and what the e-mails are related...

  6. Columbia or Yale?

    dg05 replied to babycatcher12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what we've been told, working AT ALL during the midwifery specialty is not allowed. You might want to check with the program director about your plans. Also, I think in NY if you have a CNM you...

  8. Columbia or Yale?

    dg05 replied to babycatcher12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    HeartsOpenWide, I don't think this is true. Midwives at Yale definitely get hands on experience. You couldn't sit for your boards if you didn't have any actual deliveries under your

    You pick everything up at orientation. Good luck

  10. Columbia or Yale?

    dg05 replied to babycatcher12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm at Columbia now and all I can say is YALE. They have such a smaller program, from what I hear there is a lot more support there for their, etc. I'm almost finished with the ETP program here and...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This practice is still happening in many places, including Columbia. There is always the choice to opt out. There are other students who volunteer to have more than one person practice on them and...

  13. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Alexandria - no worries. You're not allowed to move in until labor day weekend so they don't expect you to pay for the entire month. Also, for people in the dorms, the first month's rent isn't due...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Some clarification - the 5x5s start in the fall and continue for 10 weeks after christmas (this is considered winter, I think). Integration with your nurse starts after spring break and continues for...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Alexandria - good to hear you're confident about your decision ! I've seen both mixed and matched. I didn't buy any white because I was afraid of getting blood etc on them but the people who did buy...

  17. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    (1) That GRE is fine; I didn't do that well and I was accepted. (2) I THINK they look cumulatively (3) You do apply to a specific specialty but you can usually change (there are a few exceptions like...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    At some point they ask for and approve or disapprove any time off. I can't remember when in the process that is but you'll have the opportunity soon. I would suggest calling the head of the nursing...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually, they're doing a test of a meal plan this semester. Who knows how it will turn out though. Also, the cafe is not open at all in the summer (wasn't last summer at least). Lots of delivery....

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    1) Beds are twin. Regular sheets are fine. 2) Bring your own pillow and desk lamp. 3) Dorms are wicked hot in the winter and summer. An AC is recommended but you can do without it. 4) See above. A...

    Micheleh, Columbia adds an extra semester of classes and gives you a WHNP degree. I'm not clear about the extra fee to receive a WHNP license from the state of new york (mostly because I've heard...

    dg05 replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi there happy - it's not necessary to go to visiting day at all. I know a bunch of people in my class this year who didn't go. And, you don't really have to decide on your specialty until March. The...
