  1. UW closing its nurse-midwifery program?!

    There have been major, major problems with faculty, research funding, all kinds of internal issues, etc. I think there was a huge problem with the dean a while back? There was an article published in...
  2. UW closing its nurse-midwifery program?!

    The UW nursing department is currently under fire and has been having serious problems for months now. It's one main reason why I opted not to apply for the accelerated BS at UW even though I'd get in...
  3. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    Morning session for me. It sounds like I'll be through by
  4. OHSU Acc Bacc to Masters 2012

    Just got an email from OHSU and it looks like those of us who applied for psych won't be hearing anything for a couple of weeks since the interview dates are in early to mid Feb. More waiting!
  5. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    I agree. I didn't mean to imply that suits are over the top - I think it would definitely be appropriate to wear a suit. I just can't really afford one right now, so I'm going with more of a business...
  6. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    Nope... not me. Although, I'm not wearing a suit to the interview either (going with dress pants and a nice top + jacket combo). I remember reading that people didn't feel suits were necessary, so I'm...
  7. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    Thanks for the reply, jqfish! I'll take you're information into account. I applied ED because it was non-binding and I had everything ready, so I figured why not apply early. If it was binding I...
  8. Well, there are cheaper options like going to a CC for your ADN and then a state school for your MSN, etc. I considered those options, but decided that the extra time spent makes it not worth it for...
  9. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    Anybody else getting excited for interviews? Flights purchased? Hotels? I just booked my flight yesterday. Are you guys planning on going to the informal session on Saturday morning? Last year I...
  10. I'm pretty sure 6 figure debt is the norm for a direct entry program at a private school. I'm hoping on working for a free health clinic in order to get some of my debt forgiven (I think that's an...
  11. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    Partially. The program itself is so expensive (plus living in NYC is also extremely expensive). I'm not sure it will be a good investment. This is made even worse by the fact that my specialty (psych)...
  12. OHSU Acc Bacc to Masters 2012

    I applied for psych.
  13. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    hmmm. After a lot of thought I'm leaning towards not putting down my deposit and giving up my
  14. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    Thanks, Pttrac! Ugh, this is so frustrating. I hate feeling like I don't know what to
  15. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    I also have concerns about the FAFSA. I'm concerned since they want us to fill it out as undergrads, but I will also be applying to programs where I will be considered a grad student for the duration...
  16. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    I just wrote a big response and it was deleted. This site upgrade is driving me
  17. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    Pink_Zebra, I'd love to hear more. I did a phone interview, so I wasn't able to experience the campus, get a feel for the faculty, etc. Any information you have would be great! How did it seem? Were...
  18. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    siiiiiigh.
  19. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    so.. for the MSN applicants, how did your interviews go? I think mine went well, the woman was very friendly and warm. I guess we can expect to hear back in January?? What did you guys think of the...
  20. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    To those who didn't get an interview this year - I'm so sorry and I hope you keep trying. I was completely stunned when I opened my letter and saw that I got an interview; I had thoroughly convinced...
  21. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    This is the week we're likely to hear if we applied ED, right? I'm so
  22. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    I am interviewing on the 27th as well! I applied for the Psych NP specialty. I'm so
  23. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    Nothing for me today... But I'm a couple of states away.
  24. So you want a school with no GRE requirement and that one cant get into "without difficulty"? I'm sorry, but I do not know of a reputable program that exists like that (thank goodness). Programs like...
  25. Saturation of NPs?

    I think it depends on your specialty and your region. I have heard that new FNP grads are having a hard time finding work (large city on the West coast). I've also heard that there is a huge need for...
