    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In clinicals, of course - but in lectures

  4. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's hardcore - I don't think I would have had the patience to go through the process even a second time! Re: grants/scholarships, here's a bit of info: Financial Support: Scholarships, Aid,...

  5. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I concluded the same thing about doing direct entry - financially it's more painful upfront, but it's more economical in the long run. The issue about taking time off to work after the MEPN year is...

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm still waiting to hear from Yale, but regardless, I think I'm choosing between UCSF and Columbia. What about

  7. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    AniLMT - of course you should see what they have to say about this at the visiting day, and you should wait for your award package...but sadly, I think that's probably what you should expect from...

  8. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on your great problem, melismor! I think the thing that's tough about it is that almost no one is in a position to fairly compare to programs (having only gone through one, if they're a...

  9. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm deciding between programs - I'm not sure what I'm going to do just yet. Becoming a resident is easy, as you say. And the MEPN year costs the same thing whether you're in state or out of state, so...

  10. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My application homepage says "admitted" and congrats, etc - and then when I click on the link for the letter it gives me an error message...oh well! The deadline it gives for accepting the offer of...

    Woah. I'm in for

  12. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For me, specialty-specific details/reputation are more important than the nursing school as a whole. Yes, we'll all go through the ETP year, but we're all doing these programs so that we can be...

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In pretty sure we

  14. CNMs in college health clinics

    LookingAhead replied to danceluver's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Actually, the WHNP scope of practice is entirely within that of a CNM. In addition to prenatal/intrapartum/postpartum, CNMs do well woman care/gynecology from adolescence through menopause, just like...

  15. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm so sorry you weren't accepted, lastarfishista. I totally understand the impulse to want to know other people's stats and experiences, but - just in my opinion - that can only help so much. I was...

  16. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I guess we've got our first question about family/friends coming along answered from the Visiting Day invitation: "Please be advised that due to the number of expected attendees, we will be unable to...

  17. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    True - and if advanced practice nursing moves fully in the DNP direction, you would likely have many more people completing the DNP early in their careers such that the foundations in all areas of...

  18. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    I think it's mostly because of the often acrimonious relationship between physicians as a profession and nurses as a profession. Basically, a lot of physicians want to have the market cornered on the...

  19. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It also really depends on your specialty - I think I heard that FNP encourages it, for example, but that CNM all but forbids it. I'm not sure about WHNP. I guess this is what March 2 will be for,...

  20. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can take a year off after the BSN, but it is variously discourage, encouraged, or required depending on your program specialty. It can also be very tricky to get a job as a new RN in NYC,...

  21. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    I wanted to point this out as well. Columbia had originally conceived of the DNP as being very specifically a *clinical* doctorate, not a more general practice doctorate focusing on nursing...

  22. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Woah, how did I miss all of this activity yesterday?! Congrats to everyone who was accepted!! I was accepted ED for midwifery and I'll be at the admitted students day. Really looking forward to...

    Ugh, sorry for the formatting. Smart phone strikes

  24. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I attended on Saturday - I thought that the most useful part was the small group session with some current MEPNs, but it really wasn't critical to attend. It was just good to get a feel for what the...

    Haha, must be the nerves! I want to wish everyone luck as well - I'm really looking foward to meeting some of you at UCSF tomorrow. I'm in the morning session too - see you guys bright and
