  1. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yes - I should have mentioned that you will be informed of which faculty member you will be interviewing with in the same letter/email that notifies you that you have been selected to interview. And...

  2. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't remember a whole lot about my interview... which I guess means it couldn't have been too traumatic! You will be interviewed by a faculty member in your chosen specialty, so first off I'd...

    WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hi folks, Another current GEPN here (PNP specialty, in case you couldn't tell from my screen name! haha.) I just wanted to chime in and reiterate most of what macmac84 has said about the program. It's...

  4. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hi maziemoo -- I would agree with what apalmer said about cutting individual words. When you really read back through your essay, you'll be surprised about how many non-essential words you'll find...

    WannabePNP replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hey guys, I am currently a first-year GEPN student at Yale, and vividly remember being in your shoes around this time last year! I just wanted to jump in and offer my two cents regarding financial aid...

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

    Has anyone decided whether to waive out of the anatomy course? Do we have to decide now or can we wait until classes start? I've taken anatomy, but I feel like it can't hurt to have a refresher. On...

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

    Lilly, I know what you mean about your savings account shrinking! I'm not sure how much the prescription plan costs either. Has anyone started applying for private and/or Grad Plus, etc. loans yet? I...

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

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

    FYI, I emailed admissions today and found out that the pics are strictly for faculty/administration to get to know us (ie, they're not being used for a viewbook or any other purpose). So no need to...

  12. Yale vs. Columbia: Pediatric NP Programs

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

    I was faced with the exact same decision (ie, whether to go to Yale or Columbia for PNP). After attending Columbia's visiting day this past Friday, my "gut" feeling was confirmed about Yale being the...

    kimiij - I PM'ed you, just in case you did not see it (was my first time using a PM, so I'm not sure how obvious it is when you receive one). Hope to hear from

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

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

    I wanted to mention that I know a recent Yale GEPN grad (she was class of '08) from the PNP specialty who is now a full-time practicing PNP. I had the chance to observe her for the day and was very...

    Hey CaliforniaGirl - thanks so much for the info. I myself am leaning towards Yale, but I'm still planning on attending Visiting Day at Columbia. I feel much more acquainted right now with Yale than I...

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

    Charmed, I'd like to hear more on what you are referring to with regard to having trouble working internationally without a BSN? I've never heard that concern expressed

  17. Columbia University-ETP

    WannabePNP replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Does anyone know/have a breakdown of costs for the master's portion? Knowing this is crucial to figuring out total costs, but I'm having trouble getting a straight answer from Financial

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

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

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

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

    Regarding whether you need a car, I would strongly recommend it. I live in LA now but grew up in CT (not far from New Haven). You can't rely on public transportation to get you around CT (outside of...

    I agree! Nothing to lose at this point by calling. If I were in your shoes I would definitely give them a call. It's worth a

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

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

    I know exactly how you feel. In some ways, I'm in a very similar situation. While I'm actually originally from CT, I've lived in CA (SF for 2 years and the LA area for almost 5 years now) ever since I...

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

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

    I'm in for Pediatric NP!!! SO excited and still sort of in disbelief... not only at the offer of admission, but also of the fact that I live in California and my letter made it across the country in 2...

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

    Hmm...as I understood it from Angela, letters would be going OUT on the 13th and she was considering following up with a call/email the following week, but only after letters had gone out. So I'm not...

    Has anyone NOT yet received their financial aid package? I was told that mine would be arriving this past Friday and still have not gotten anything. Anybody else in the same

    WannabePNP replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Fionagurl, you are SO right on with that. It's DEFINITELY a humbling experience to realize how competitive these programs are, and how many qualified applicants they have to turn away. I definitely...
