Charmed - MOST of the programs i've looked at do not offer a second bachelors - they are considered an entirely graduate program with the goal to be NPs, not RNs. Therefore, I don't think it matters...
I heard that about Columbia too, and I couldn't justify paying 80,000 for the first year ..... so I am going to Marquette. I also got into Vanderbilt, but decided I didn't like that the second year...
Csulliva - i applied to UVM but didn't get in. I am going to Marquette in Milwaukee. I was a case manager and before that did office work, so a pretty big switch for me too - but fortunately i did...
Hey did anyone get in? I didn't.... but I hope the best of you had better luck. I am relieved because i've been here my whole life and was ready for an adventure
Remember in the masters portion the clinical hours are closer to $1300 per unit.... and i'm not sure how many of the 45 are clinic hours, but it does raise the
Thanks Lauren. I wish you luck too! It was great getting to email with you!!! This just feels like the better fit for me, and its a feather in the hat that i was accepted at Columbia. *twinge of...
Stijunky - the cost is a huge factor, along with the mixed reviews i've heard from repeated sources on the program. I don't know if i'm cut out for a "big" city.... also i didn't get into UVM - did...
Hey stiejunky, i was told this week too and didn't hear anything! Very frustrating. I don't think its a lot longer than Columbia - 1 year pre-MSN, and 2 years MSN as far as i know..... it would be...
My deadline is 2/28. Also, the housing stuff isn't going out until the university gets the deposits, so they have a better idea of who to expect..... at least that was the impression i got from...
Dohzen - That sucks! I can send you mine - they are pretty much the same! Right now I am really leaning toward passing on Columbia The other programs I applied to the first year is considered...
Btljoos - i was wondering the same thing, as I'm not making up my mind until after Visiting Day. I think you can always say you don't want the award... since the funds aren't dispersed until May, and...
Ijust applied for the private loan - i wanted to see if i would be approved and what my interest rate would be. I wonder if I should try to find a cosigner. Ugg - just completing the applicaiton...
I didn't get mine either. I emailed Oscar last night to ask if it was on the way, but haven't heard back yet. Good luck everyone! It sounds like the package is pretty standard, in getting the $33k...
GradNurse - i'm curious what the issue is around completing the NP portion part-time and why it is so difficult to find RN jobs in the meantime? I thought for RNs, there were always jobs around? Can...
Thanks for the input btlejoos! I haven't heard too many bad things about Inwood. Is it fairly close to Columbia? I have been thinking about doing the ETP, and then working full time and doing the...
Steffie - awesome! I'm glad to hear it's not so bad. All that means nothing to me - country girl, not familiar at all with public transportation! =D I'm glad she could work... i am still...
