  1. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey guys, I have a quick question. Are you guys filling out the 2011-2012 FAFSA or 2012-2013 one? I assume it should be 2012-2013, but we start in June, not July (the website says that the 2012-2013...

  2. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I haven't used a suit for my other interviews and I can't really afford to buy one right now, so I'm just going to stick with dress pants, blouse, and

  3. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I received an invitation to interview for the psych track over the weekend. I haven't received my second invitation that will specify the date of the

  4. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know. It looks like last year's group heard in late Feb (around the 23rd/24th??) Who knows when we find out this year,

  5. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I believe you're right, thuyd527. It looks like it's 5,000 per course. That's still very pricey, but much more in line with other private programs. It will be interesting to see how the financial aid...

  6. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe you haven't worked around many psychologists? In my neck of the woods, they all refer to themselves as doctor in a clinical setting, including hospitals. And why shouldn't they? They have the...

  7. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    agreed. I don't mind that the DNP exists and over time it will be interesting to see if it evolves into a useful degree. I think it's ludicrous to insist that all NPs get DNPs, though. The MSN for...

    thanks, same to

  9. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    thanks! I'm very excited. I love Seattle, so staying here would be nice, it's something for me to consider, hehe. Congrats to you too! In all reality, my top choices are Penn and UCSF... but I really...

  10. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got chosen for an interview as well!

  11. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wasn't trying to belittle the PA training model, just point out that it isn't always the best route, depending your career goals or interests. I think for psych (and midwifery), advanced practice...

  12. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not in my specialty. Do you really want a psychiatric provider who has learned everything "on the job" and hasn't taken any in depth classes on the development of psychopathology, psychpharm,...

  13. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know, isn't the waiting torture? Last year it looks like they found out by the end of Feb, but I'm not holding my breath for this

  14. FNP Program: Can I Pay For It All With Loans?

    myelin replied to AniLMT's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can always take out private loans, right? Also, Penn allows for work study... which can make a huge

  15. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That Powell story was so disturbing and upsetting.

  16. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I started my app to yale, but didn't follow through. I only wanted to apply to 3 east coast programs. I opted to apply to Penn because it's program sounds absolutely amazing and really appeals to me,...

  17. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that PAs can have it better, depending on the circumstances. NPs can also have it better. It really depends on your specialty, what state you plan on practicing in, etc. Since I'm interested...

  18. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks! So far it is Columbia and Penn. I didn't realize how hard it would be to apply to multiple programs, having them get back to you weeks/months apart, etc. It's a challenge,

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    thanks!

  20. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah but being a PA has its own limitations... NPs typically have a lot more independence. This depends on the state, of course. Also, if you're interested in a specialty it's pretty much all on the...

  21. Anyone applying or waiting to hear from University of Penn?

    myelin replied to NJprisonrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been accepted... but to the accelerated BSN/MSN (starts this summer). Good

  22. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wish they'd hurry up and get back to us. At this point I've been accepted to two other programs, already. I'd at least like to know if I have another interview on the

  23. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow, it seems like it really depends on who you speak with. My interview was short (20-30 minutes) and very friendly/informal. She asked me why Penn, why nursing, why my specialty, how I feel about...

  24. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't get the controversy. If a person has earned a doctorate, then they are referred to as "doctor" within their field. I don't get why it is confusing for patients if the person introduces...

  25. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, I'm most likely attending Penn as well. I just can't afford to live in
