Has anybody here applied to the UW Perinatal Post Masters certificate program? I'm a Psych NP living in So. Cal and I'm hoping on getting into the program and competing it via distance from San Diego. I've applied for the fall 2014 cohort and I'm cur...

Just checked, looks like I'm in as well! Yay! I look forward to actually meeting you come Sept. 17th!

Oh congratualtions!!!!!! That is so exciting! I'll make sure I check my mail!

Hey Telee, I haven't heard yet if I've gotten in or not, still waiting. Have you heard?!

Hey Telee73, I hadn't seen that post about them not continuiing the track if they don't receive enough qualified applicants. Yikes! I hope there are more people out there who applied because this program sounds really interesting and I REALLY want it...

hi telee73, i actually spoke with ira kantrowitz-gordon, i think he might be more focused on the post-masters certificate programs. and he let me know that distance study is also totally possible from san diego, and that on campus requirements for cl...

Hi all, I'm currently half-way through my first year in a direct-entry Masters program (a total of three years, 1 pre-specialty year and 2 specialty years) and I was wondering if I can work as a nurse following my first/pre-specialty year...I know my...

this is exactly the information i'm looking for! it's not that i do not want to continue onto a master's degree in nursing, it's that i won't be able to continue on to an advanced degree in my current program. that being said i still want to work as ...

This is a second career type program and I do have a Bachelor's degree already, just not in nursing. Will having a BA and being an RN be enough to work in California specifically? I still want to pursue the Masters degree in my specialty (perhaps not...

Hey everyone, I'm starting my NP program next winter and I am interested in finding out more about civilian nursing within the military. My brother was in the marines, had some health problems while enlisted, and really liked his nurses! He tells me ...

Hi guys, I was recently speaking with a friend of mine who's husband (along with herself and their kids) is posted overseas with the foreign service and she was mentioning that there existed such position within the foreign service called 'specialist...

Ok, so I'm currently in the 'limbo' phase of direct-entry MSN application hell. I applied to my programs, got into two (of course the two that I had counted as my 'back-up' programs), got flat-out rejected by one and waitlisted at two others. I said ...

hi guys! So I'm in the process of finishing up my pre-reqs for direct-entry masters programs, for non-nurses. I've applied to a few programs already and (joy of joys) been wait listed on two of them and not heard anything yet from the others. Now I g...

PSHS_2000 So you entered a direct-entry MSN rpogrma, but left after the BS section (1st year) was finished? So you left as a registered nurse, but not with a masters in nursing? Am I getting this right? And then after this you went into an MPH progra...

Alright, so I just graduated with my bachelors (not in nursing) and I'm thinking about becoming a nurse-getting an RN or a second-degree BSN, something along those lines. But here's the kicker, I don't actually want to BE a nurse. Let me explain, rig...

Australia huh? I didn't mention Australia earlier because I've never been there, and therefore know very little about it firsthand...what steps did you need to take in order to get your license in Victoria? Did you run into any problems with work/sch...

Hi guys! I broke into my roommates allnurses account because I need to ask all of you a few questions...I'm stooping to dishonesty to tap into your wealth of knowledge! Anyway, I'm applying to direct-entry MSN programs even as we speak (wish me luck)...

really? you didn't have any problems with work requirements not matching up? i would love to hear more about the steps you took. i didn't mention australia because haven't been there, but i was looking into separate public health graduate programs th...

The programs I'm applying for are three year programs actually. Will that meet most international requirements? I read about most other countries requiring three years and I think I'm covered in that respect. And I'm not so much looking for specific ...

Medic2N, thanks for the advice. I did look into the paramedic vs. nurse issue because as you stated firefighters, paramedics and police officers are classified as classic first responders, but having looked into these programs I really did not feel t...

Batman24 you make really great points! I'm thinking about doing my MPH first, simply because I have all the pre-reqs done for any MPH programs (ie: no pre-reqs required!) and based on the courses required in a few of these MPH programs I think I may ...

Wow, I think there may have been some miscommunication in my original post given all the not so happy responses to it, I apologize as it is clearly my fault since I started the thread! I, at no point, have ever intended to use nursing as a "pay bump"...

I'm currently a senior graduating in December with a social science degree (not a BSN). I am not an RN, but I have been seriously considering becoming a Nurse Practitioner, but am at a loss as to how to go about becoming one. I have looked up acceler...

Thank you so much for all the advice. I have been looking into all the options, there are just so many to choose from and they all seem to have advantages and disadvantages. I've looked into psych/mental health NP programs. I've worked in mental heal...

Alright, You all seem like a very intelligent group, so here I go...I would LOVE to apply to the MEPN at UCSF, I will graduate in December with an undergraduate degree in Anthropology, I have a 3.5 GPA and have not take the GRE yet. Those are my stat...
