  1. Nurse Practitioner in Sports Medicine?

    CharmedJ7 replied to jensfbay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey, someone asked a similar question recently, here's what I told them: If you're interested in sports medicine and orthopedics, you might consider checking out the University of North Carolina,...

  2. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    CharmedJ7 replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd like to add that while public healthcare would be expensive, at the moment our healthcare costs more (and covers less people) than other nations with public healthcare. It's something I've heard...

  3. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm pretty sure that clinical groups are 8 and lab groups I *think* are the same (ie, if you are group 8, you are in that group for labs and clinical). I have a vague memory though of lab groups...

  4. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know if this helps, but I heard from several people that many of the hospitals in NYC, after you've worked FT for two years, will pay a good chunk if not all of your masters tuition (my tour...

  5. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To add to this information, here's the schedule for the first year: Orientation: May 27 Summer Semester: June 1-July 31 AUGUST BREAK Fall semester: August 31-December 18 WINTER BREAK Winter semester:...

  6. NP jobs in Sports medicine/ fitness

    CharmedJ7 replied to SAM49's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're interested in sports medicine and orthopedics, you might consider checking out the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, they offer a paid residency program in orthopedics for FNPs:...

  7. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I really wish I could get definitive information, I've tried contacting the nursing boards in Canada and Australia but they haven't been too responsive or all that helpful. The main moderator on the...

  8. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree with you that it makes a difference whether or not it's the case, but I can't say for absolute sure. What I'm basing my assumption on is that, from trolling the international forum, it seems...

  9. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think we're disagreeing here, I fully realize most programs do not offer a BSN - my point is simply that there is an advantage to programs that do in terms of flexibility, but as others have...

  10. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There's a lot of debate on whether or not it matters - the way I see it, it matters if you need to or want to step down to work as an RN (BSN usually get slightly better pay than just NCLEX assuming...

  11. Yale vs. Columbia: Pediatric NP Programs

    CharmedJ7 replied to BS/MS NursingStudent's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm in a pretty similar boat, though my track is FNP not PNP. I'm leaning heavily towards Columbia over Yale for the following reasons: 1.) Columbia is way more flexible (taking time off, stepping...

  12. Columbia ETP accepted student profile

    CharmedJ7 replied to chicurious's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In my view you sound like a good candidate. I got into Columbia, the FNP track, so if it helps I can give you my stats: -GREs: 660 verbal, 760 math, 5.5 writing (I don't think this helps much though,...

  13. Columbia ETP 2009

    CharmedJ7 replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also haven't heard from NEU yet and I also applied right at the deadline, not realizing they assessed applications on a rolling basis. More oddly, I haven't heard anything from BC either, which I...

  14. University of Calgary

    CharmedJ7 replied to CharmedJ7's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    What section are you looking at? I didn't see anything specifically about their nursing program or insight from nursing students. I hear that the medical and nursing schools here are pretty highly...

  15. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    CharmedJ7 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Elizabeth, I couldn't find anything for sure either way on Canada, what I was basing it on was that on the international forum they're saying that accelerated programs have a really difficult time...

  16. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    CharmedJ7 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm not from there either, but I spent about a month there last year and also loved it! Beautiful, inexpensive, food was generally good, water was drinkable... Such a wonderful

  17. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey I think this is a great idea. I just joined the facebook group, are you going to do a blanket invite to all in the group? The visiting day gets over at 4 I believe, maybe something like hitting...

  18. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    CharmedJ7 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    When did you hear from BC? I find it strange that I haven't heard anything from them either way. I'm not too concerned (I'm already in at Yale and Columbia), but it irks me that they haven't...

  19. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    CharmedJ7 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Out of curiosity... a) When did you guys apply? b) Puravida, are you from Costa Rica by any

  20. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    CharmedJ7 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also was told that in my interview when I asked, but I'm highly skeptical - it takes around 3 months I believe to do orientation for a new grad, so I suppose if you did it it would be in the summer...

  21. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    CharmedJ7 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I've looked a lot into Canada and Australia specifically, but to some degree I assume this basic idea will apply to other places. Basically, the direct-entry masters we have is unique to the...

  22. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    CharmedJ7 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My thoughts on this are that working as an NP in the states it won't matter much to at all to not have the BSN. Where it will matter is if you decide to work as an RN (during the masters portion or...

  23. Columbia University-ETP

    CharmedJ7 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm staying at the Hilton in Times Square. I figure I can just take the subway up to Columbia since it looks like it's right off the line. Anyone else will be in that area? How long are you guys...

  24. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    CharmedJ7 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I don't know what mail holiday you guys are having in the States, but I live in Quebec and I just received my letter - in for FNP! I'm kind of leaning towards not going to Yale (not enough...

  25. Petition to the Congress by US International RNs

    CharmedJ7 replied to psherpa's topic in International Nursing

    I agree on the bad timing thing, but generally I do think that being educated in the country should give you an immigration advantage over foreign-educated nurses since it means you've been trained...
