  3. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Glad to help. I know that making this decision was one of the hardest things I ever did -- there was so much to consider. But it's been absolutely the right decision for me. Nursing isn't for...

  4. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi there -- CUMC is right off the A train (which is an express that goes pretty quickly from midtown to uptown) and the 1 train (which is a local) so it's easy to get where the action is. I live...

  7. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you take any break or fall to part time, you lose the scholarship. If you start FNP full time in the summer, I believe you'll be done the following summer of fall. From what I understand going part...

  8. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The ETP program is 60 credits but you also need to have money to live on because you won't be able to work that year. The Master's portion is dependent upon which specialty you've chosen. Most people...

  9. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    asherah, this rumor was floating around before I came as well. It is false. Apparently they were going to change it a few years ago and then decided not to. So, you will finish classwork in May and...

  10. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Alexandria, I am enrolled at Columbia right now. I'm in the middle of my ETP year. No one really knows how they select people - we're all varied. I think they probably chose people who are interesting...

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

    dg05 replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think the FNP might be one of the specialties whose director encourages you to work full or part time while taking the program. I don't really think you can FORGET about getting a job if you don't...

  16. Yale GEPN vs. TRCC RN? HELP!

    dg05 replied to seaw92's topic in Post Graduate Students

    dg05 replied to kaibey's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Kaibey, Thanks for posting this -- I'm having second thoughts, too and it's almost all because of the debt aspect. The money part feels overwhelming. However, I think wildmountainchild is right -- I'm...
