  1. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Chula Yeah the outlook is pretty good for psych as far as I know. It seems like there are lots of well-paying jobs for psych NPs. Oncology sounds really interesting to me, as

  2. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm applying for psych, anyone else? It seems like it's a less popular specialty, but it's always been my interest. I tend to waft between feeling like I have a strong application to feeling like "omg...

  3. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It seems like they're letting it be flexible. You can upload a resume, CV, expand about your experiences in the boxes, etc. I opted to just upload my CV, since it covers all of my experiences well....

  4. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Great, so it sounds like there is another nursing event in November? I will be sure to check it

  5. MSW to PMHNP?! Please help

    myelin replied to STA51's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm currently applying to direct entry PMHNP programs. Like others have said, to be a NP you must get your RN first. There are accelerated programs for those who have degrees in another field (such as...

  6. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yay, I submitted! Phew. I have one professional rec and two academic recs. Now I need to finish up my app for UPenn. Is anyone else applying to their program? They don't seem to have a thread on...

  7. Looking at online PMHNP programs... but some are eliminating MSN program

    myelin replied to STA51's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, my personal opinion is that it would be a very bad idea to go into social work right now. I know it's hard to consider the market when you're really excited about going into a field, but really,...

  8. Looking at online PMHNP programs... but some are eliminating MSN program

    myelin replied to STA51's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, I was in a very similar situation. I initially wanted to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology but decided against it after working in a psych lab for several years. Unfortunately it seems like...

  9. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    thanks, LookingAhead! For those of you who submitted CVs - how long were yours? 1 page? 2 pages? I know CVs can be longer and mine is right around 2 pages, I hope this is

  10. Looking at online PMHNP programs... but some are eliminating MSN program

    myelin replied to STA51's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm applying to programs to become a PMHNP. As far as I can tell, the DNP becoming the requirement isn't necessarily a sure thing at all. It would require state nursing boards to get involved. It...

  12. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    sigh. I am afraid of screwing up my essay and/or my CV. I have strong test scores, grades, and experiences... but it's so hard to figure out how to convey it in the most cogent and persuasive manner....

  13. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm doing okay. I am putting the finishing touches on my essay and am trying to figure out how to structure my CV. I'm applying for the psych track as well. I'm trying to decide if I need a separate...

  14. How much does an Oncology Nurse Practitioner make per year?

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

    I've heard really good things about psych. You have to be interested in that kind of work,

  15. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    myelin replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm applying for Mental health/addictions. I have a background in psych and a lot of research experience. Good luck!

  16. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've decided not to apply. I'm really worried about debt and plan to work as an RN asap during the masters portion. Since you don't sit for your NCLEX until well into the first masters year at this...

  17. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ooh. So they like having you working full time? That could make it a lot, lot more feasible. Thanks for the

  18. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Interesting... but isn't it usually 3 years total, not 2? Isn't the master's portion typically 2 years (plus the RN year)? Or does it depend on your specialty? eta: Yikes, it looks like it depends on...

  19. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi ashted88 - I really want to apply to Columbia but I am very concerned about the costs. Do you know about how much the three years are expected to cost (including housing?). Maybe a ballpark figure?...

  20. Where is the best online NP program

    myelin replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you ever stop to consider that the reason why NPs receive fewer clinical hours is because they are trained for a specialty from day one? PAs are generalists, so they need all those hours for each...

  21. Starting A&P I tonight, need tips!

    myelin replied to pixie976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Study less, but smarter. I can't tell you the countless friends I had who spent hours and hours studying for weeks on end only to get a A- or B or C or worse! I got a 4.0 in A&P 1 and 2 because I...

  22. Should I go to Yale's CNM program?

    myelin replied to Nurse Alyssa's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would absolutely go, no questions asked. If your ultimate goal is to be a midwife, why wait to get there? I've known too many people who have put off furthering their education only to get mired by...

  23. How to study for the GRE

    myelin replied to JMO82's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hmm. I know that for the new GRE the vocab (supposedly) can be figured out by context, so maybe spending a lot of time with flashcards would not be as necessary? Haha, you're lucky. I must have...

  24. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm likely applying to Yale. I'll be applying for the psych specialty. Oh man, I'm a bit nervous starting this application process but I'm also really excited. I feel passionate about choosing this...

  25. Anyone applying to Yale for Fall 2012? (MSN)

    myelin replied to RNcDreams's topic in Post Graduate Students
