    Thanks mleigh and Ladubya for the info! Best of luck to you as you make your final decisions/get ready for

  2. Columbia University ETP 2011

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the info, mleigh. Yeah it's strange - it seems from the basic curriculum of both specialties that if you did CNM first, you could add the necessary credits for WHNP in maybe an extra...

  3. Columbia University ETP 2011

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi mleigh! I'm a total lurker on this thread because I'm not actually applying to Columbia until this fall (I'm a little obsessive...) - but I'm also interested in applying for midwifery/women's...

  4. UCSF and the DNP

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the insight, czyja! I'm not sure yet if the DNP is my ultimate goal - particularly since the curriculum can be quite different from school to school. But I am interested to see where a...

    LookingAhead replied to staceym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously! I'm one month into my micro class - I took a look around my bathroom yesterday and just thought...EW. To the OP - you can definitely do this. I was freaked out as well before starting, and...

    LookingAhead replied to ebu138's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks so much for your post, ebu, and I'm sorry that you're not having a great experience. Let us know how it goes at NYU - and maybe some current NYU students can get on here and offer their

  7. NYU vs Columbia ANP program??

    LookingAhead replied to ebu138's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi ebu - sorry, I can't speak to NYU's ANP program, but would you mind posting a little about what your experience has been like at Columbia? (Are you in the ETP program BSN phase, or the MSN...

  8. The role of CNMs in abortion care

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

    I understand what you're saying - and appreciate that complications are the issue - but fortunately any CNM who would be performing such a procedure *would* have years of training; they would have a...

  9. The role of CNMs in abortion care

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

    BabyLady - Actually, abortions are not necessarily surgical procedures at all. Many early abortions (which is the focus of ANSIRH, linked to in my previous post) are "medical abortions", completed...

  12. Columbia University ETP 2011

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    For what it's worth: I have always found that the staff involved in admissions/info sessions are the worst representatives of what a school is about (why is that?!) and don't necessarily give you a...

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    cu2140 - Wow, thank you so much for your lengthy and thoughtful response. I'm sure this will be tremendously helpful for lots of people on this forum, not just me! I really appreciate you taking time...

  14. Columbia University ETP 2011

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    You're right, cu2140 - should just ask questions here! I think I've read everything official it's possible to read about Columbia/ETP (and threads here from previous years) but I'm wondering how your...

  15. Columbia University ETP 2011

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi cu2140 - it would be great to ask you some questions about the ETP program and specifically the midwifery track (which is what I'm interested in)! I can't send PMs yet because I haven't posted here...

  16. 2011 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to astrelle's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks so much for your responses! I just heard from UCSF and they said: "As long it is an accredited post-secondary institution and the combined courses are worth four semester units or six quarter...

  17. 2011 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to astrelle's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have a quick prerequisite question that I thought people on this thread might know the answer to: I am planning on applying to the MEPN program next year and just started my remaining prereqs...

  18. Acceptance rates for Columbia ETP/Midwifery?

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in New York Nursing

    I went to a ETP info session last week and while they didn't give exact acceptance rates for each specialty, they did say that they have about 20 midwifery spots and 10 anesthetist spots each year,...

    LookingAhead replied to PinkPeony7's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks, arabianeyez and Work in Progress. I really admire people who manage to juggle these things all at once! After posting this I realized it was really difficult for me to imagine having a small...

  20. being a mom and a student

    LookingAhead replied to PinkPeony7's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I know this is an old post, but I have been thinking about this issue a lot lately so I just wanted to get it off my chest... I've been realizing over the course of the past year that what I really...
