Congrats tamalama!!! :balloons::cheers::balloons: You're definitely going right?? I hope we have classes together! What specialty are you?

I was admitted to the accelerated BSN-MSN program for FNP specialty. I can't wait to see who will be in the cohort - Good luck!!!

I got a call 15 minutes before one of my exams today saying I was accepted and I asked to make sure I was accepted to the BSN and MSN portion - she checked and said YES! So I will definitely be going. Who turns down Hopkins????????

Just got the call today, WAY earlier than I expected... I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll:biere::smiley_aa:cheers: Who's coming with me??? :roll:biere::smiley_aa:cheers: Can you tell I'm excited?

Searching around on some old threads, it looks like applicants last year were notified for interviews after Christmas, around the 28th or so.

I emailed a past professor to ask to discuss the possibility of him writing a letter of recommendation. I was very thorough and explained in depth about why I felt his class would benefit my graduate study in nursing. I mentioned my grade (A) a few t...

Thanks for the help JALEXSHOE - the programs that I am applying to require at least 2 academic references and 1 professional (supervisor) - I have a solid academic reference lined up, and my clinical nurse manager is writing the supervisor reference ...

I just found out today that Columbia looks at the GPA from the school where your undergrad is/was conferred. They do not add all of your coursework together to get a cumulative GPA. This bothers me because my cumulative GPA is substantially higher th...

I am still looking for a NP to shadow in the Austin or Houston area - There are NPs that work in my medsurg unit, but I believe they are ANP. Does anyone know a ACNP or FNP that would be willing?

So males should have a female present during a male giving any type of exam or invasive procedure?

:enter preceptorsaurus rex: JK ofcourse!!

I'm just wondering really why this post exists on a message board meant to advance the nursing field. Sure, it is widely based on opinion and I believe in free expression, but caution should be taken by nurse students reading this thread that these a...

I think scrub companies should start making more colors. Mostly the "inbetween colors"

Question is how long it would take for your coworkers to find out and ban you from making extra "spending money" lol

I can't really imagine the "black-face" costume post-1960's but I know some scouts will use American Indian regalia like feathers - I'm not sure how this would be viewed. Hmm.

Just wondering if anyone is planning on applying to Yale's GEPN for 2008. If so what specialty are you considering?

Are these problems mostly geographically based? There are a lot of NP opportunities in my city and a lot willing to hire new grads to train. I hope this is something that's not too widespread. Grad NPs need money too!

Just wondering if surgical NPs are generally FNP or ACNP trained? Also, what is the payscale like for a NP assisting in the operating room?

I was in training taught by a nurse educator once and one of the students said "I was going to go to medical school but I settled on being just a nurse". The nurse educator stayed so professional and composed when she explained that heathcare does no...

@ donhillRN, that's hilarious!

I always have a female with me, but I have seen sometimes that male RNs will not - some have come out of the room to get a female nurse because the patient refused

Did she receive job offers after graduating the direct-entry ACNP program? My only fear is that most places will want at least 1 year RN experience to apply as a ACNP. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how Columbia calculates GPA for admission to their ETP program for applicants who have transferred (ie. attended one college, transferred to another). Do you think they would add everything up and get a cumulative...
