    Barinbass replied to Hope001's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am seeking another school to apply to for online ANP too. Why did you choose these two? I had looked at one of them, Seton Hall, when I started researching schools. Do you think it will be an issue...

    Barinbass replied to tigermom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  7. Looking for a short NP program- less than 2 years

    Barinbass replied to Barinbass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like a good idea. How long was your MS program? That would make the difference. It needs to be as short as possible. Thanks

  8. Looking for a short NP program- less than 2 years

    Barinbass replied to Barinbass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I meant I am ANP (student now) as opposed to FNP as was in the response. Would love the three semesters, so will definitely consider that for a certificate. Duke is one of those that is 5 semesters,...

  9. Looking for a short NP program- less than 2 years

    Barinbass replied to Barinbass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Barinbass replied to Ashley.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    Re your GRE, some schools no longer require it, others waive it for a specfic GPA and above, but others still require it regardless of the GPA. Duke waives it. Jefferson University waives it. Others...

    Barinbass replied to Ashley.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    You have great credentials! I am impressed. Don't let anyone say otherwise! Why did you change your mind about Medical School? You have more going in that most nursing applicants. You do not need a...

    Barinbass replied to Barinbass's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Barinbass replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Barinbass replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Barinbass replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing
