  1. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    I have until August 30th to accept my loans. I'm waiting it out until then. Once that deadline starts approaching, I will call HRSA again and my financial aid office to see if we can work something...

  3. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    I called because I'm trying to figure out financial aid with my university as well. The guy I spoke with explained it this way - if you get the email you have been selected for the award. The reason...

  4. 2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you have any further questions feel free to PM me. I do think it's a risk to disclose personal mental health problems, but if you frame it correctly it could work out okay. Unfortunately I think it...

  5. 2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Unfortunately, it seems that struggles with mental health in particular are (unfairly, in my opinion) stigmatized in personal statements. I think writing about physical health issues, experiences in a...

    Whoa, this thread has taken a turn for the

  7. 2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I highly recommend that you do not do this. Talking about your own psychological issues in a goal statement is definitely risky and can potentially hurt you, depending on who reads your essay and how...

  8. California NP's

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ridiculous.

  9. California NP's

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Looks like in order to get the bill to pass, it was watered down to the point that it is now rendered useless. AARP has removed its support since it no longer will expand healthcare access in...

  10. How old were you when you made the choice to become a NP?

    myelin replied to mmcc26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was 23 when I decided on nursing and the NP role... but I'll be 28 when I

  11. Fellowships or Scholarships for NP Students

    myelin replied to jmuhammad10's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can apply for the NHSC or nurse corps scholarship. Both pay for your education upfront, and you agree to work in an underserved area upon graduation, equivalent to the number of years you received...

  12. FNP new grad -- offered a GI job -- should I take it?

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

    Thank you. Every time I see someone say they didn't bother negotiating, I just cringe. It hurts the field and reinforces the idea that women don't take their careers as seriously as men. Always...

  13. NP vs PA vs CNS

    myelin replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    It used to be that way. Now a lot of direct entry PA programs exist that will take people with no healthcare work

  14. NP vs PA vs CNS

    myelin replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well all I can say is that it varies. It sounds to me like you might be talking about Yale's program? It's funny, but one reason why I didn't go through with applying to Yale was the fact that they do...

  15. NP vs PA vs CNS

    myelin replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Right, but those DE students went through RN school and clinicals, even if they didn't work as RNs. Many PA programs take people with literally no healthcare background at

  16. California NP's

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't dislike the idea, but I do think it's going to make it much harder for new grad NPs to find work, since the new grads come with all kinds of red tape. It reminds me of PAs who always have a...

  17. "Why didn't you go to medical school?"

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

    I just say it's too expensive and takes too much time when I can do the same job as a NP... like being involved in research, clinical practice, and teaching. Nursing is much friendlier to those who...

  18. BSN vs Masters?

    myelin replied to RN&mom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Go for the MSN. With the MSN you will be competitive for bedside positions (and leadership/management positions) as well as have teaching opportunities. With the BSN, your teaching opportunities will...

  19. Nurse Corp Scholarship Finalist

    myelin replied to bethlehem18's topic in General Students

    Deep breaths. It looks like last year they did not get the "official" word until mid September. We might be in for a bit of a wait. I'm trying to relax and not think about it too much, other than to...

  20. California NP's

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It will make it even harder for new grad NPs to get hired in California, since no one will want to put up with the physician supervision requirements if they can just hire someone with 2-3 years of...

  23. Nurse Corp Scholarship Finalist

    myelin replied to bethlehem18's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to relax about it. From what I've read, they appear to do it the same way every year. It looks like if you get the email, you get the award, but it's not official until all your forms...

  25. Texas NPs

    myelin replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This argument doesn't make sense considering that 18 states allow NPs to practice with no barriers. The research clearly shows that one does not need to attend med school in order to practice...
