  1. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey Flaneur, What caused you to lose interest in psych and choose adult/gero instead? Did you have to make this decision before applying or were you able to make the decision during the RN portion...

  2. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey pooja, i have a BS in psych as well (from UW). I graduated a couple of years back. I think you'll be okay. Try not to stress so much. I'm sure your solid GRE and good grades in your prereqs will...

  3. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    yay I just got my email for an interview (psych specialty). To those who haven't heard - don't lose heart! They have the whole week to get back to us and it sounds like they are not emailing everyone...

  4. Questions for Current NPs

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

    Thanks for the post, Allen! I've read that the national average pay for Psych NP is ~ 95k and that in the pacific northwest the average is a bit higher than that. By "deep six figures" do you mean...

  5. Questions for Current NPs

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

    Sounds like it depends on the region... I'm hoping to practice as a psych NP in the Pacific Northwest (OR or WA). I've heard the opportunities are wide open for psych in this region, and since both...

  6. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So you're planning on asking for letters of req your senior year of college and then taking 1-2 years off (correct me if I'm wrong)? That might look odd to the admissions committee. You may want your...

  7. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    myelin replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    "But A glass of wine with dinner doesn't impair someone" ... wow. Just,

  8. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    myelin replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    " I completely disagree, despite what the research says." It's quotes like these that make me a very sad panda. Critical thinking, people! Multiple anecdotes are not

  9. I got a D on my A&P mid-term!

    myelin replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should analyze the exam and figure out why your performance wasn't where it needs to be. What kind of questions did you miss? How do you learn best? How can you ensure that you achieve on the next...

  10. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    myelin replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    xtxrn - what an illogical statement. I do not smoke pot, but I think the argument that is dangerous is based on very weak evidence and is made even more ridiculous by the fact that a dangerous drug...

  11. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    myelin replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    A very small amount of pot smokers become drug addicts. The vast majority of drug addicts start with alcohol (and cigarettes). I'm looking for the study right now... eta: Also, interesting thought for...

  12. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    myelin replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone here who thinks it is okay for people to drink alcohol in their free time but not to smoke pot needs their head examined. Or maybe they just need to take a peak at the literature. Marijuana is...

  13. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I love Seattle and plan on working in the pacific northwest, so Seattle U is a top choice for me. I've applied to several other direct entry programs, as well. I haven't really started my app yet for...

  14. Competent programs? NP or PA...

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

    Doesn't this also really depend on the specialty? I imagine that in a family medicine setting a brand new PA would outperform a brand new NP since the PA received more training hours and had more...

  15. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm on the west coast (not currently in CA, but I'm from CA, hehe) and yeah, it will be a big move going from the pacific coast to the east coast! Just thinking about it gets me excited... I'm ready...

  16. BSN vs. direct entry to MSN

    myelin replied to mixie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I may be biased because I am currently applying for direct entry MSNs, but I'd suggest going for it. If you want to be an NP, why wait to get there? Consider going out of state for your education,...

  17. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I submitted it a couple of days before the deadline. I wouldn't sweat it, maybe they're going through apps alphabetically? They will get to yours! Or maybe they're starting with the most recently...

  18. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It seems like they're sorting through everything, still. I got the email. I am complete and have been submitted for review, so it sounds like they have received everything. Now the waiting

  19. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I haven't gotten the email yet, either. How are you guys checking to see if things are missing? Where on your application does it show your transcripts,

  20. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sounds like they aren't interviewing everyone this year. It's so hard for me to tell if it's a leap for me or if I'm competitive, you know? I just hope I get an interview, since the program sounds...

  21. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    good luck 2nurse1! Have you had contact with your recommenders? Do they know that they missed the initial deadline and you had to get it specially extended? I hope they get their act together this...

  22. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey Kalium, I'm applying for psych as well! I have a degree in psych and have worked for several years doing psych research working with clinical populations. I've been volunteering at a hospital as...

  23. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    shoot, I was hoping we would know by early December. Sigh, patience is the most challenging part of this entire

  24. Spring/Summer 2012 NP Programs

    myelin replied to capdistreas's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Why no GRE? You're limiting your opportunities by excluding those schools that require

  25. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know how you guys feel. For UCSF I had one recommender wait until the day before the app was due, I was biting my nails until she got it
