  1. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, it may not be over yet - no one, at least on this site, that applied to acute/adult/geriatrics has gotten an interview request. I think just the midwifes and a few other specialties. Maybe,...

  2. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just checking in - anyone else hear about interviews? I guess today is the last day for them to contact us, unless they are pushing back the deadline. The suspense is driving me up the wall, and I...

  3. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Don't feel bad - it is an EXTREMELY selective program. When I talked to a peer advisor earlier this year, he said that for Acute Care NP the program offered only like 7 seats for his particular year....

    Anyone hear from Acute Care, yet?? Who else is feeling like their head will explode with nervousness!? Good luck to everyonoe who already have

  5. Anyone else getting antsy about their applications to Direct Entry programs?

    weezbug123 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks, Imuzycan! I haven't met with any professors, yet. Any suggestions on who to meet with at DePaul? Wow- so, only 9 months after the MENP program ends you are able to get your NP...

  6. Anyone else getting antsy about their applications to Direct Entry programs?

    weezbug123 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck to all on applications!! I too am super nervous about my applications, and I haven't even finished them yet. The due dates for my schools aren't until January 1 or March, but I wish they...

  7. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi! Yale and Columbia are OK with you not having your official GRE Scores into them by the deadline? I called them and they said they wouldn't even review my app without the 'official' scores. Just...

  8. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    As far as I know, Rush and DePaul are the only other Direct Entry programs in IL. While one of the pros of those programs is that you don't have to specialize, I think I rather graduate as an NP and...

  9. UIC GEP 2009 - Who's in???

    weezbug123 replied to kittykat73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Sevillaes! I graduated in December 2004 with a degree in Philosophy. The past four years I have been working full time - trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to do with the rest of my...

  10. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    UIC admits 40-50 students, which is a terrifyingly small number to me! I guess they have about 350 applicants a year. Certain specialties have more competition, some have less. I know midwifery and...

    weezbug123 replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Lemonchiffon, You and I are pretty much in the same boat! UIC is my first choice, b/c of cost and location (I've lived in the Chicago area all my life). But, I don't like the feeling of not...

  12. Scared, Disappointed, Stressed. Very long but I need some advice.

    weezbug123 replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be so hard on yourself! Negative self-talk like that only perpetuates the feelings of depression and self hatred. Keep the goal of becoming a nurse always in your mind. Remind yourself at how...

  13. UIC GEP 2009 - Who's in???

    weezbug123 replied to kittykat73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats Kittykat! I am actually applying to the UIC GEP program for 2010. What will your specialty be? Do you mind if I ask what your stats are like (Nursing/health care experience, GPA, GRE). I...

  14. New GRE format?

    weezbug123 replied to mommy2three2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was pre-med, too. Then, pre-pharmacy. Never took the MCAT, but did take the PCAT. Not fun! Then changed my mind about Pharm and decided to go into nursing. I knew I wanted to do something that...
