    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm torn between Penn and UCSF. It's such a hard decision. I am interested in practicing on the west coast, specifically the Pacific Northwest, so I'm wondering if it would be easier to get a job...

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Anyone trying to decide between UCSF and other programs? I also want to look into becoming a CA resident, since I would be coming from out of state. It seems like if I register my car, get a CA...

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you! I am deciding between Penn and UCSF. It's a really hard decision and I think I need to wait for my financial aid info to come from UCSF before I decide. I have my Penn info and while...

  12. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can you be more specific? So you think that a person can't have a credible opinion on online education unless they've a received a degree online themselves? How convenient. The reality is that online...

  13. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've taken online classes and they were extremely easy. I'm a good test taker, so all I had to do was take the exams and look up the answers during the test. I did very little work. I probably managed...

  14. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This. For nursing prereqs there were several options at my school. There was in person anatomy and physiology (several classes) and online anatomy and physiology (one class). Guess which class...

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    sigh. Open book tests? Really? I've taken online classes (nutrition and lifespan psych from my nursing prereqs) and they were a joke. Sure our tests were limited in terms of timing, but the fact that...

  17. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is what I'm hoping. I will be attending a top school and I'm hoping it will ensure that no one questions my education. Still, the number of programs with little to no entry requirements that keep...

  18. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    myelin replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did you graduate from an online university? Shouldn't he only be taking your credentials into account? And yes, I think online education (especially the for-profit institutions that set the bar for...

  19. Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    myelin replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    oh, please. The whole idea that NPs became NPs because they couldn't get into med school is as ridiculous as the argument that MDs are less holistic by virtue of their training. People make decisions...

    Hey alexisash, I was in a similar position. I worked in a clinical psychology research lab for 3 years (intending on applying to PhD programs) only to realize that I'd much rather be a family psych...
