    7starbuck7 replied to Sunflower3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I have applied and been accepted to IU's ANP program. A couple of things have happened to make me consider Ind Wes instead (long clinical wait, tuition rising). Can you tell me more about Ind Wes...

    7starbuck7 replied to MommyandRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  3. Accepted and Disappointed

    7starbuck7 replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was pretty ticked when I got the letter Friday but now I have settled down some! I e-mailed my advisor to ask her if I am definitely 2010 or if there is any possibility of 2009. But I re-mapped my...

  4. I'm in : )

    7starbuck7 replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats:) I am still waiting. We were told late Oct to early Nov and still nothing. The advisor told me on the 5th they would be mailing letters that week. Still nothing. Very frustrating.

  10. Anyone starting a traditional MSN program in the fall?

    7starbuck7 replied to HealthyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  11. Cost analysis of RN vs NP

    7starbuck7 replied to 2B_RN_2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. So many choices! Advice needed

    7starbuck7 replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That is why I am looking at the large state school. It also houses the med school and the nursing program is well-respected. I work for the large hospital system associated with the school as well....

  16. So many choices! Advice needed

    7starbuck7 replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The large state school says the average graduation time is 5 years. I have no idea if it is because people are just choosing to take that long or what. It is an MSN not a DNP. The more research I am...
