  1. JHU or YALE?

    Biddy replied to fnp4me's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's it for international opportunities - just spring break

  2. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

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

    New Haven: I'd heard horrible things about the city prior to moving here. I had incredibly low expectations, so perhaps that's why I was so pleasantly surprised. New Haven is awesome! I'm a...

  3. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

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

    I do think the estimate is enough money, but I am married and we had savings when we moved here. I know some other friends have thought they could use a bit more, but honestly, New Haven is not a...

  4. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

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

    I'm a current GEPN that decided to come see what's going on here (after one of you emailed me with questions)...I really have to tell you to not base your decision on Yale's financial aid. It's...

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

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

    You can get the pictures printed at Kinkos--it's actually a 'wallet-sized' photo. I put a picture on a disk, and there's a photo machine at Kinkos (call yours to make sure). For $1.99, I inserted my...

    It's going to take place on Elba during Napoleon's exile...and the heroine is a woman with a secret past (her father is the most notorious, dreaded pirate of the Barbary Coast and she's in exile...

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

    Yes, it's definitely a relief...I'm glad I made a decision. For some reason, I kept feeling like I needed to find a "reason" to go to one school over the other. And it ultimately came down to...

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

    Well, I just spoke with Lauralou on the phone, and she said it sounded like I was settling on Hopkins...spoke too soon. After speaking to financial aid at both schools, while the award at Yale leaves...

    Lauralou2008, call me. I'm home...thinking, debating...we can share

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

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

    To be honest, JHU will technically cost more--it'll be four years (a traditional BSN, followed by the MSN, though the prof I met with said I could do the MSN in 18 months) at $50,000 each. However,...

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

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

    Oh man, LillyB, no federal loans until spring. That's hard to stomach. I guess all this financial stuff is hard to stomach. I will be calling financial aid tomorrow regardless (like I'm sure many...

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

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

    Kimiij, And that was a merit scholarship they awarded you? Did you apply for it or was it automatically granted? I have to say I'm feeling a bit slighted. My financial aid sucks. They offered me a...

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

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

    One more thing, both professors I spoke with today said getting a BSN doesn't matter. JHU is looking actually at going the route of Yale with the direct-entry MSN, and they said most schools are...

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

    So for those of you interested in JHU, Baltimore is growing on me. The school of nursing facilities are definitely much nicer than Yale's (it's a ten year old building that is just the school of...

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

    As far as current JHUSON students, the ones I met last night seemed pretty happy. I talked to one ABSN student who was funny and cynical. She said she doesn't know how clinically prepared she feels...

    CaliforniaGirl2--GO TO UCSF!!! I would absolutely go there over Yale! (Unfortunately, I messed up my application dates and had thought UCSF was also due November 1...I only realized on Sept. 15 that...

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

    Jumbolove, I received your private message, but I'm "not allowed" to send one in return...Yes, only debating JHU and Yale at this point. Decided against Columbia and Vanderbilt. Hopefully, I'll see...

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

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

    Jumbolove, I'm also staying in the Inner Harbor, and we (my husband and I) are planning on going to the happy hour thing in Fells Point tonight. If you get into town for that, I should probably see...

    Hey Pauvrelapin, I'm married, too, and will be moving with my husband. We'll be moving from the west coast, and he's thinking his best chance of getting a good paying a job will probably be in NYC...

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

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

    Does anybody else change her mind daily? Today, I'm in love with Yale...they are letting me do the combined A/GNP (though I was admitted for GNP) now, which makes it seem like a done deal. I've been...

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

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

    One more thing Yalienne, do you mean the summer between second and third year? I thought the GEPN year extended through next summer and there really wasn't a break between first and second year. So,...

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

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

    Well, Yalienne, I hope you are right. Your group obviously talked more about that. My group mentioned if you're in for GNP, you're golden (which is what I'm doing). Then I read things on message...

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

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

    Yalienne, I don't think it's that the BSN overshadows the MSN degree at all. The concern comes from the fact that Yale is not as flexible, doesn't really allow you to work as an RN (I know people say...

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

    I'm not oncology--I'm gerontological...haven't seen anybody else with this specialty here. I am debating between specialties with my choices--ANP at Hopkins, GNP at Yale. I actually asked Angela if...

  25. ANP vs GNP??

    Biddy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, I've been accepted to an Adult NP program at Johns Hopkins or a Gerontological NP program at Yale. I've read that some people think it's better to get the ANP degree, as it's more versatile. I...
