I'm in a program at Ohio State in the neonatal program. We have all types of specialties for grad entry (aka direct entry), including both neonatal and midwifery. The program is typically 3 years long, except for the neonatal which is about 4-5. That includes two years of work as an RN, as required for neonatal np certification. It takes about a year and a half to two years for the pre-RN portion... we sit for the NCLEX after March of our second year. Let me know if you have any questions, or PM me if you want to ask off the boards!

For the verbal section... vocab, vocab, vocab! Even if you are already familiar with the traditional types of verbal questions (analogies, sentence completion, etc) from say the SATs back in highschool, the biggest difference I found is a much higher expectation in terms of vocabulary. I got a book of GRE vocab and made flashcards and that improved my score dramatically from the practice test i gave myself before i started reviewing For math, according to the test it is not really much different than SAT style math questions... so just practice, practice, practice! Good luck!!!

LilPeanut - Sorry, don't know the best way to do this... I'm looking for more information about the grad entry program at OSU, and I noticed in your post you are from Ohio. Any chance that is where you went? If so, I would LOVE to ask you some more questions. I'm currently in the midst of applying for next fall. If you have some time and would be willing to email, could you send me an email at [email protected] so that I could ask you off the message board? Thanks!!!
