  1. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    Protongirl replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's good to know I'm not the only one! This whole process makes you a little paranoid - objectively, I know I paid & locked it properly . . . but still. I sent them an email asking about it,...

  2. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    Protongirl replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Has anyone been able to check the status of their application after locking it? The website says that after the due date you can sign in and see if you have any missing items, but I have not been...

  3. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    Protongirl replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey there! I'm applied to the FNP track at UCSF. I am also applying to programs at JHU, Yale, UMB, Vandy, Georgetown, & VCU. It is a relief to finally be done with one of the applications! Now...

  4. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    Protongirl replied to Protongirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know! The application says approximately 200-300 words and I keep wondering how many more words I can squeeze in an it still qualify as "approximately." Once we are all finished writing, if anyone...

  5. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    Protongirl replied to Protongirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The GRE is optional unless you applying to the MSN/MPH option. In the last chat, they said that "If you did well on the GRE and want to submit them, go ahead. They are generally only looked at if...

  6. Ucsf Mepn Hopefuls Entering 2010

    Protongirl replied to calconurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    That would be great! I will look through my notes from the information session too. I see you don't have 15 posts yet, but you can email me at my yahoo address: protongryl. I am going for the FNP...

  7. Ucsf Mepn Hopefuls Entering 2010

    Protongirl replied to calconurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    My take on it, and I could be way off, was that the goal statement is more focused on why you want to be a nurse, why you want to pursue a certain specialty, and what you plan on doing with your...

  8. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Protongirl replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If you don't mind my asking, were you particularly low in one section, or across the board? And did you run out of time doing the test? Also, were your scores a lot higher on the sample test that...

  9. Vanderbilt ENP

    Protongirl replied to jmooreoly's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you applying as a direct entry student or are you already an RN? I am trying to learn more about Vanderbilt before I apply for their direct entry FNP

  10. TEAS Breakdown questions

    Protongirl replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How much time you need really depends on how familar you already are with the subjects - I was lucky because I had just finished a calculus class and I work in a lab so I just needed to brush up....

  11. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Protongirl replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I would agree that you should be able to raise your score. The GRE is not just about what you know, it also about speed and some study guides help by giving you strategies for increasing your speed...

  12. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Protongirl replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    hey all! i'm glad to see that i am not the only one who began obsessing early! i plan on applying to yale, ucsf, jhu, vanderbilt, and maybe columbia. and of course each one wants vastly different...

  13. Ucsf Mepn Hopefuls Entering 2010

    Protongirl replied to calconurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    Has anyone finished their goal statement and personal history yet? I am close to being done, but need to get some second opinions - there is such a fine line between grabbing attention and straying...

  14. How do you decide which pre-reqs to take first?

    Protongirl replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    In my case I took chem more than 10 years ago, so I was okay for A&P and Micro. However, many ABSN and GEPN programs want chem to have been taken in the last five years - so I crossed those...

  15. How is the teamwork going in your lab?

    Protongirl replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uggh, I know. My last semester of my first degree I had a senior level econ class that required a group research paper. There were three of us in my group so we split it into three writing portions...

  16. TEAS Breakdown questions

    Protongirl replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, the math portion has the most gimme questions. Stuff like balancing a checkbook or deciding which BBQ in an ad is the best value if you want it to have x characteristic. They do throw...

  17. How hard is A and P??

    Protongirl replied to spoiltmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you could get through A&P without chemistry, but it would be easier with a working knowledge of beginning chem. When you get to physiology subjects like nerve impulses or digestion you are...

  18. How do you decide which pre-reqs to take first?

    Protongirl replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    IYou mention that you already have a degree, does that mean that you plan on applying to ABSN or GEPN programs? if so, I would suggest spending some time looking at the websites of all of the schools...

  19. TEAS Breakdown questions

    Protongirl replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you gotten the study guide that ATI sells? Usually if a college requires the TEAS, they will sell it in the college bookstore. If not, you can look on eBay or order it from ATI through their...

  20. How is the teamwork going in your lab?

    Protongirl replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too have had many frustrating lab experiences. Unfortunately, both in school and in the workplace, it is unlikely that four people will have the same ability, goals, and styles. I would suggest...

  21. How hard is A and P??

    Protongirl replied to spoiltmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second Haneen's response, A&P is not especially hard, but it is a lot of material to memorize in a short amount of time. So, you cannot cram the day before the exam and succeed and you cannot...

  22. Ucsf Mepn Hopefuls Entering 2010

    Protongirl replied to calconurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hi all. I guess the time has come to stop lurking and start posting - hard to believe it's finally here! I know this thread is in the Men in Nursing section - but it is the only 2010 MEPN thread I...

  23. A&PII and Life Span Human Development I or Nutrition I

    Protongirl replied to Victoria703's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lifespan was a pretty easy, somewhat fun class. I got a kick out of finding out that all of the "common-sense" parenting decisions I had made at 20 were textbook approved:D The ease of nutrition...

  24. I am so flustered! Sorry this is so long!

    Protongirl replied to Bella Donna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i completely agree with cherish, being penalized for a drop based on the need for major surgery is bunk. if i were you, i would talk with the admissions and records department and ask them if they...

  25. "I am sure...a nice young..nurse would love to help you celebrate"

    Protongirl replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Misserella hit the nail on the head. Rather than being a put-down, it was a woman (and former nurse, now transplant coordinator) putting the flirting ex husband (who had cheated with a young nurse...
