   I am making the same decision as you. If you go to an MBA program thats ranked in the top 10 compared to one that is not ranked, you WILL MAKE SIGNIFICANTLY more amounts of money and it WILL change...

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

   Thanks for the input. Since I will be direct entry student, I am avoiding the "fast" programs. One school is boston, for example, would make me an NP in 2 years! I think that is way too soon to...

   jnd1213 replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I'm currently living in Boston and would love to stay here. I applied for adult psych specialty (but am very open to acute care). From what I've heard, MGH does not actually have anymore of a...

   jnd1213 replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I'm currently deciding between MGH, Yale, and Northeastern. To be honest, I would like to work as an RN part-time while getting the MSN (something which Yale does not allow for direct entry...

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

   So i've decided to go with the cheaper option. After much research, I feel a fancy university on the resume does not do much for NP's. An NP is an NP...not matter where they go to school (I have...

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

   jnd1213 replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think its important to understand that nursing school is not the same as undergrad or grad school for say, an MBA or JD. While I agree it is Yale...in the end, you are going to be an NP. NP's are...

10. Columbia ETP 2009

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

    Looks like i too am turning down Columbia bc of money and bc of the fact that going to "ranked" school does not do much for ones career in nursing (as opposed to business or law school). I got a lot...

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

    PS- I know for an MBA or JD going to a top ranked school will make a HUGE impact on ones salary. However, I get the feeling this is NOT the way it works for NP's. Is this true? Or could I expect,...

    i came out of a small undergrad college that was 45k a year with only 17k of debt. i am relatively young (25) so becoming an NP before the age of 30 will have its rewards financially. Moreover, I am...
