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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, does anyone know if we need to send in those 2 photos WITH the deposit, or can they come later? And they're just regular passport-size, right?

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cool. Maybe he can have a torrid affair with the Marquis de Sade -- was that even the same era? Doesn't really matter I suppose, cuz since when are trashy romances historically accurate anyway?...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh Biddy, I'm sorry! I am also even more confused this weekend. I may call you! So, yes, I do think you have a shot at negotiation, given what someone up there said about Yale being afraid to lose...

    lauralou2008 replied to odooma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Miche, I was wondering the same thing. I considered calling to double check, but I imagine the whole point is to have you serve right out of the BSN; so if you're going on to the MSN directly, you...

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biddy, Thanks for your updates! I couldn't make it to Baltimore for this visit -- or, rather, didn't want to miss more school and work and buy yet another plane ticket. I briefly visited JH on my...

  6. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm sorry dohzenOFF! I feel your pain! Which program did you apply for? I spoke with Andrea about a waiting list, and she said there isn't one for the Segue -- only for the BSN. Any Segue'ers...

  7. accepted Emory students fall 2009

    lauralou2008 replied to odooma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations everyone! What a relief it must be after all the stressing. I am still not ruling out Emory, despite only getting into the BSN, but like you Miche, am trying to decide between Yale...

    Well???? Has anyone else heard

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, does anyone know if there is a Facebook group started for the GEPN Fall 2009

  10. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I talked to Emory yesterday. I asked them: On what do you base your criteria for admission to the BSN/MSN Segue vs. the BSN only? If I qualify for the BSN, why don't I qualify for the Segue? I ended...

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks dohzenOFF! We'll see what my conversation is like with them

  12. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    WHAT is their deal? It's weird, too, that they would deny the Segue option to anyone who qualifies for the BSN -- since they interview you at the end of the BSN program anyway before allowing you...

  13. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well guys I got my letter today and found out why I got my decision online and so early: They DENIED my admission to the Segue option and are offering me a position in the 2nd-degree BSN program...

  14. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    jalin -- No, I haven't! I'm on the west coast, so who knows how long it could take! I still think it was a fluke that I found my decision online -- has anyone else in the BSN/MSN segue program heard...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just to clarify about the RN licensure timing thing: It is true that you are not eligible to sit for the NCLEX until January of your 2nd year at Yale, when you have completed all the required...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lars 23: Unclear. From what I can tell, it seems like it doesn't really matter, as long as you're going to get your Master's by the end of it all. It would be more of an issue if you didn't finish...

  17. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Not sure what my overall GPA is now, but I left undergrad with a 3.5 (including a bad first couple years that I had to make up for in spades when I returned 8 years later!). Since then, I've gotten a...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lars23, those are all great reasons. The flexibility is a really nice option, and especially the ability to work after that first year. With Yale, no work til the summer after the second year! I'm...

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    abbybaby, I would love to hear your impressions of the Emory visit as well! My account here says I can't PM, so if you're emailing Miche, count me in! [email protected]. Also, Miche &...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't suppose you'd share your thoughts on JHU & why you're leaning towards it? That had been my top choice for a long time (FNP/MPH), and now for some reason Yale & Emory have taken first...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Megandan & Miche9182 -- I am also trying to decide b/w Yale & Emory. Miche, you will probably get your notification this week actually. Mine was online this weekend & said letters should...

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations everyone! For those who haven't received your letter by snail mail yet, the pertinent info is to send deposit & confirmation form by Friday March 13th; financial aid info packet...

    Thanks for the confirmation Lars23, and congratulations to you too! Are you definitely going to

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

    lauralou2008 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ramiegrl, I second what WannaBe & Miche both said! While reputation is great, you happen to be entering a field where there is a huge demand for well-trained people -- whether you get that...

  25. Emory Fall 09

    lauralou2008 replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I know, Jalin, it was weird. I have to say, I don't fully trust the "online decision" and am not really going to believe it until I get the actual letter in the mail. In my opinion, computer snafus...
