Graduating from NYU's Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program in 2 weeks. Finally! I just finished my exit survey and I thought I'd quickly post my survey reflection here because, hey, at $100,000 of tuition I think it's only fair that students have ac...

I am opening my own practice here in Tennessee and Bank of America DOES NOT loan to nurse practitioners, anywhere in the US. They are the worst! I am actually going to close my savings account with them now. Wells Fargo met with me in person, however...

avoid any sugar or carbs on your shift -- you'll have a blood sugar crash 1 hr later and you'll feel completely lifeless. But honestly night shift is just a wash. I felt hungover all the time. I feel like I can barely remember anything that happened ...

I completely agree, it's overcompensation. Can you imagine if doctors posted a "BS" before their "MD" on every email signature? So silly

i've been working my first rn job ever at a large nyc hospital for 10 weeks now, and along with the other new hires (6 of us in total, high turnover rate), am starting to dread coming to work because of the nurse manager, assistant nurse manager, and...

Hi, thanks so much for your words of encouragement, everyone... I think about leaving this job every day!! I love being a nurse and all I want to do is focus on taking care of my patient, not constantly think about my dreaded nurse manager all the ti...

Unfortunately it is very difficult for new graduates to find jobs here in the city. Unless you had an externship to get your foot in the door it takes an average of 6-9 months to find a job in NYC. I just graduated from NYU in December 2011 and almos...

NYU Langone Medical Center. New grad started March 2012. $77, 945.00 per year. Does not include shift differential.

Agreed with chanzer, your credentials sound just fine. With all the idiots in my class it seems like anyone can get into this program. If you want to double check though, contact the admissions office and ask them if your pre-req grades are sufficien...

Hi! I was accepted to the accelerated program last week (April 14th, application was submitted mid-February). For the record, I graduated in '07 from a large southern public university with a degree in biochemistry - 3.96 GPA. I was also accepted to ...

I applied by the March 1st deadline and the admissions office told me I would hear back between April 15th and sometime in May.

Hm, my family is not contributing either and I didn't list their information on my FAFSA... I have no idea where the 24,000 EFC came from. That is not even remotely feasible. I will have to call the Fin Aid office. I am doing Acute Care and no, I'm n...

Dear Biddy, and any other current/alumni GEPN students, Question for you... On interview day a professor mentioned that some past students have done clinicals in NYC. Is it possible to do ALL of your clinicals in NYC hospitals during your specialty y...

hi, i just received my award letter: student budget = $68,080. $8,500 subsidized federal student loans $12,000 unsubsidized federal student loans ysn scholarship = $3,500 i am disappointed i didn't get the ~$10,000 scholarship everyone else seem...

Hey CAhopeful09, I know how you feel. I was also rejected from Columbia, my first choice, and I have NO idea why... I had a 3.96 GPA from a widely known state school, 1200+ GREs, lots and lots of relevant medical volunteer experience, and stellar rec...

Do you think if we graduate from Yale that our children will get accepted to Yale also? just a random thought haha.

I got accepted to Acute Care! I'm still looking at Miami & NYU though. Miami because it's cheaper and NYU because it's in NYC. (I currently live in NYC). I really don't know if I could call New Haven home for 3 years, there was really nothing ab...

I did not get accepted (applied to the Anesthesia track). I am pretty heartbroken right now since NYC is already my home and I just can't bear to leave my life here -- I adore my apt, my roommates, & my friends here. Maybe I will just stay in my ...

Hello! Congrats to all who were accepted! I also applied this round but I haven't heard back and I'm pretty confused... I submit my application in October and it's now February. I called Miami this morning and all they could tell me was that they ind...

Hi. I'm also anxiously waiting to see if I was accepted to the Anesthesia track. Good luck everyone!
