  1. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    I just finished up taking nutrition for my pre-reqs at my school - it was really tough but absolutely amazing, I highly recommend it but only if you can find a good program (I know they vary a lot)....
  2. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    Hey I hear you - I'm in Montreal, and I'll be out of town until early January. I'd really rather avoid letting my roommate open my letter and email me with what it says. Hopefully when someone gets...
  3. hardest a and p chapter/SYSTEM?

    I'd have to say immunology is my worst area, which is probably because they don't really seem to know that much about it so there's a lot of contradiction in what people will tell you and a lot of...
  4. To clear up two questions that seem to be coming up: 1. Private messaging is only available once you've posted enough times (I think the magic number is 15). If you can't do it yet, it's probably...
  5. A&PII Hardest Topics

    I think it depends on your teacher - endocrine I think is really simple if you just draw out the diagrams (though, I'm from biochem, I'm a pathway person) and get ready to hear "negative feedback...
  6. What if I don't get in???

    I'm kind of in the same boat, it's really hard to know how competitive one is for direct entry since they all seem to be looking for different things and the requirements are really broad. I applied...
  7. Grading scale for Nusing school???

    Hey Utopia - As a student whose done work in Canada and the States, I can tell you almost 100% that you would absolutely NOT be failing in the states just because you're used to an 80 being an A....
  8. a sign of intellegence

    Sounds like the lecturer is more concerned with grade deflation than learning of the students - it's a really sad reflection on her. It may be a sign of intelligence to be able to cover the material...
  9. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN 2009 Applicants!

    Other schools with similar programs whose deadlines have not passed: UIC (March 1) Northeastern (January 15) University of Hawaii - Manoa (though the deadline is very soon, Jan 1 for the first portion...
  10. Columbia University-ETP

    What segment are you talking about? I'd be interested in knowing what the admission statistics are for my specialty (FNP). Also, thanks jcarranz, I actually did end up emailing Jose and he told me...
  11. Congrats Abbybaby and Minnesota, nice to see some more FNPers! Also Minnesota, was starting to think I was the only Midwesterner on this thread (I grew up in Chicago), how much snow do you guys have...
  12. Anyone out there who has applied to U Rochester's direct entry program (this year or in a past year)? I'm a little concerned because I talked to Nancy Kita right around the beginning of November and...
  13. University of Rochester Direct Entry

    Hi guys, Thanks for your responses. Kinilina, nice to know someone else is in the same boat, but too bad they haven't been responsive. From dealing with them before, I know their administration is...
  14. Hey sprinklez, How feasible is it to get to New Haven from NYC? I actually live in Montreal but it's exponentially cheaper to fly into NYC than New Haven so I'm leaning towards that, but I wanted to...
  15. Anyone else interviewing for
  16. I'm really sorry about those who did not get offered an interview, good luck on the rest of your schools! I still maintain this is all kind of a crap shoot sometimes and I'd be willing to bet eenie...
  17. "I have the strangest notes written down: 'Race is a non-fact.' and 'The number one status symbol in America is owning a house.'" That's funny, I had an argument with a professor in a developmental...
  18. My guess was going to be by when you applied since I still haven't heard and I applied pretty much smack on the deadline. Plus my last name is J and I believe other people from the FNP specialty have...
  19. Columbia University-ETP

    I emailed him, so I'm hoping he replies with what the heck that means. No one else's pre-reqs say "Prerequisites completed or in progress: Received (Not Official)"? It just boggles my mind because I...
  20. Columbia University-ETP

    Hey guys, I got an email from Columbia saying they were reviewing the application and to check for things online. When I went to look at it it said the "Prerequisites completed or in progress:...
  21. School Grading Scales

    It's crazy these grading scales, though I can tell you that the absolute scales seem to matter very little - I've taken classes at schools where 93 is an A or where 85 is an A, and it was way harder...
  22. Which degree do I do?

    I'm graduating this year with a non-nursing bachelors and I'm also looking into nursing. I don't know about the difference between pay rate for ADN and BSN but I think you are overlooking a very good...
  23. Hi all, I'm having an unexpected issue with applying to MSN programs in the states that I'm curious to hear thoughts/support/empathy on, particularly if there are others in a similar predicament. I'm...
  24. I realize this thread is a bit old, but for the information of anyone who stumbles across it and wishes some information, I'll say what I know. I took the development through the lifespan course...
  25. Help with research problem...

    One possibility is to test whether or not there is a statistically significant difference between the measurements between one type of thermometer and the other as opposed to absolute accuracy. I...
