  1. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can't speak for everyone, but I know that there's at least one or two neonatal folks in the class. The VAST majority are FNP, CNM, some ANP with HIV focus, ANP with Complimentary focus, 6 ACNPs, and...

  2. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My GRE wasn't in until October 7th (it was stalled out somewhere in the mail) and one rec got lost and had to be re-sent, and I'm in the second quarter of the program. Double check on the letters. If...

  3. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I speak Spanish and was NOT interviewed in Spanish. I was told that I might be but I think that was a vicious rumor. Interview day was really fun. It DOESNT matter if you're in round one or two....

  4. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    *bump* How is the application world going for you guys? I know the deadline is soon.

  5. New GRE format?

    star77 replied to mommy2three2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took the MCAT too, and did well, although I agree- 8 hours of testing is PURE HELL. I actually got into Med School and when it came down to it I felt that nursing was a way better choice for my...

  6. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know you guys are anxious, but take a chance. Do it. Nobody can truly predict your chances- you can only put your best effort forward and hope that the program is a good match for you. Answer the...

  7. Sex and Nursing School

    star77 replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated program, and I feel the same way. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, and are totally in love, but during the week I rarely have time to do anything but study or...

  8. Stege 4 Pressure Ulcers

    star77 replied to CarVsTree's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Definitely. And the fact that now, insurance isn't going to pay for sores acquired in the hospital is going to silence reporting of them. Sigh. I found a stage one and a stage two on the same patient...

  9. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I totally agree. Also, when they say it's intense, they're NOT kidding. Regarding second languages, I'd say about half the class right now speaks a second language, but everyone is very driven and...

  10. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm so sorry you guys - I wish you were in the class. There are a number of people who have applied more than once in this group (including me). There are also two women who were called on Monday to...

  11. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, stuff is still coming in. A lot of us got our User IDs and stuff. I need to check my mail today. There's a lot of vaccination records and things to do, like CPR renewal (or class) as...

  12. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey, has anyone else heard anything new? Any movement off the wait lists? I hope everyone is doing well. A few of us have been talking about the paperwork, etc for the incoming folks. Just moved to...

  13. Any Vandy Applicants out there?

    star77 replied to Briem143's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I worked with a direct-entry NP graduate of Vanderbilt. She is one of the most intelligent, on-top-of-it, motivated people I know. I would have her as my healthcare provider in a heartbeat. She felt...

  14. MICRO-DNA Replication

    star77 replied to kat von b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you google "transcription", you will get a few animated videos of DNA replication in the top 10 sites that come up. They might be helpful? Have you studied DNA replication (Leading strand/lagging...

  15. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey all, It was really great to meet Healthmatters and to realize that MsnasMHA and I met on interview day. Sweet! We should do something again soon. Should we start a gmail group for the incoming...

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Alright, it's on. Sunday. March 16th. 10:30am at the Hi-Dive, on the Embarcadero (end of Bryant St). If you're in the east bay, let's meet at Peets Coffee on Piedmont Ave at 10am, and I'll drive us...

  17. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sure! I just emailed lananp. Anyone else? Let's say meet there around 10:30? There's this awesome little place called "The Hi-Dive." It's not Mama's, but it's yummy and they have Mimosas (and...

  18. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey RoseisRose, I know one other oncology specialist who's in- a friend of mine, who is actually a bartender in the City. She's a fantastic, intelligent woman. I just went by and saw her on Wednesday...

  19. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    First of all, I :heartbeat Oakland bigtime. I would live there again in a heartbeat if I could. I lived right off of Piedmont ave, and my best friend from preschool lives on Howe, next to Kaiser. I...

  20. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Holy crap shortcake, good research! Hey everyone, should we meet up for beer/coffee/high-fives/handshakes/martinis/general rabble rousing at some point? We might as well start getting to know each...

  21. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, I was checking that out. It's 99% full though, from what I remember, so I've been using craigslist. My boyfriend is a native San Franciscan, so he just laughs at my reactions to

  22. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cool! I'm glad you're going. I think it's good to ask questions about programs - and it certainly is a valid question that you have- I just think that the NPs from UCSF seem to do pretty well, so I...

  23. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, aside from UCSF having the top reputation in the country, I think that the fact that we have to "step out" of the program for a year to work in med/surg or in the ER gives us an experiential...

  24. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    and from Jennifer MPH: "Letters haven't arrived in Portland, OR either. I shouldn't care since I've already decided on Yale." Don't you two have the same specialty? Aren't you both midwifery? KEEP US...

  25. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    star77 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Looking back on this board, I think you're okay. It seemed that the East Coasters got their letters a little later than others. Shelianagig, I sincerely hope you move off the waitlist. Keep the faith,...
