  1. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh wow, I feel like there's so much anxiety on this thread right now! I guess it's natural, since the last deadline is passing today. I really feel for everyone here - I'm also trying so hard to stay...

  2. Columbia University ETP 2011

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I believe it's typically the end of the 1st week of February. Not sure about the drug test

  3. Need info about Columbia Nursing/Public Health Joint Program

    LookingAhead replied to bocaburger's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was considering doing this, although ultimately I decided not to. I went to an admissions event at Mailman and they were more helpful with info on the joint program - I believe it essentially takes...

  4. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I seem to remember seeing on Yale SON's old website (pre-pretty redesign) a line about the interview dates - basically interviews are always held over a couple of weekends. You're given a date that's...

  5. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yes, Jeffreydean77, seriously! Any time you want to come to New York City and join in, just to see if we can make something happen, you are welcome to sleep on my couch! Protest doesn't have to be...

  6. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Oh yes, I'm aware of this. There is the question of how the original occupation began of course, but there's also the larger question of what the whole thing is "about" now. Far be it from me to...

  7. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Tyvin - regardless of where you think people really ought to be protesting (and I would point out that it isn't just in NYC - it's all over the country), calling what is happening in Zuccotti Park...

  8. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There are just so many ignorant aspects of this response that I can't let it go. If you are actually interested in finding out what OWS is about then you should look into it more deeply before...

  9. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I really didn't mean for this to be an examination of whether or not people think OWS is a wise expression of outrage. Everyone will have their own opinion, although I do encourage people to look...

  10. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thanks for the advice, Mazy - and I'm totally in support of Bank Transfer Day! My money's going into a credit union as soon as I know what state I'll be living in for nursing school (assuming I get in...

  11. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thanks everyone so much for your input thus far. In response to NeedchageofPace, I'm well aware of the role that for-profit hospitals play in health care. I hope someday to be a certified...

  12. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Haha - thanks for the insight! My goal isn't to work for the Man. I'd like to be in independent practice. But obviously I have to get lots of clinical experience first, so the Man needs to be reckoned...

  13. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Because it's a movement that I believe in deeply, and it's one that I think needs a shot in the arm at this point. I'm just asking if anyone has any experience or insight with having being arrested...

  14. The role of CNMs in abortion care

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

    Thanks for the info, Heather. Out of curiosity, is this a subject that gets much discussion among your classmates? Does there seem to be interest in including more training on abortion provision and...

  15. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh that's great that you asked! Yes, I applied this year - we're in the same boat. I can't keep track of who on this thread is applying ED and who is applying regular decision, but just FYI the...

  16. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Terp89- I messed with the margins on my essay a little, so you're not alone. You might not want to follow my example

  17. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    According to last year's GEPN thread, people who got interviews were notified by email on December 15, and those who didn't get interviews got letters in in the

  18. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree with myelin - if you're going to take a few years to do other things before applying, just be sure to keep up relationships with people who could be recommenders for you. It doesn't have to be...

  19. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I didn't apply to NYU so I can't offer you any advice on what to do, but I just want to say Congratulations!! May this board soon be filled with more good news like

  20. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know! I was traveling throughout October so I was really distracted, but now I'm back and thinking way too much about this. In my mind, I've decided that they'll let us know on December 31 - 7 more...

  21. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, I don't think we get that option - at least, I didn't. If you're really concerned that the version of the essay you want to submit may not be the one that's attached, try emailing admissions with...

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats Doula Kerry! That's

  23. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Admissions departments never seem to give the breakdown for how many people apply for each specialty! I'm applying for midwifery too, sirgalahad - I know it's either the most competitive or one of...

  24. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    LookingAhead replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Poppyseed - I took them literally about the order of the questions, because I had read in previous Yale GEPN threads that they were really strict about it. So I answered every question and...

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Phew - me too. Good luck to
