I have some great news to share... I was just offered a position on Maternity! I'm totally blown away and excited. Best of luck to everyone!!!

Congrats Pugz!!!

Hi Pugz! I'm interviewing for maternity and pediatric cardiac acute care. Really excited about both units.

HI Sweetest Jae, Are you asking about HR calling to let candidates know they've moved on or are you asking about unit managers? If it's HR I think they are finished, if it's unit managers I believe it should be by the end of the week or early nex...

Congrats Pugz!

That would be pretty cool! Fingers crossed.

I picked maternity and NICU. What about you?

Great job Mama of 2! I received a call today as well and I'm really excited. Good luck everyone, they said they'd be calling 45 people over the next few days!

I'm on the 13th at 8am, best of luck!!!

Hi pugz, I just got a call from LPCH for a panel interview too! Good luck everyone!

Hi all, I spoke with my interviewer yesterday. She mentioned if selected to be considered for an interview your application status will change to "route" a few days after your phone interview. She then went on to say, we won't hear until end of Jun...

Congrats mama of 2! Anyone get a call today? I sent my application in last night and I've been staring at my phone, willing it to ring :) haha. Good luck to all.

Hi Ladubya87 et all, I am a current student and I can speak to the reason why the CNM/WHNP option was d/c at Columbia and other schools (Yale). The thought is a CNM does not need an extra certification to provide the care a WHNP does. When a CNM gr...

Hi guys, Those who turned their housing forms in promptly and from far away generally got preference last year. I decided to live in an apartment on the upper west side because I have a pet and wanted a little break from being on campus all the time...

There you go (see I knew someone would know better than me...I'm also from CA). Take the E and then transfer to the when you are actually in Manhattan.

Hi guys, I've never taken the airtrain to campus (maybe someone else can jump in here) but by looking at the airtain map I believe you can take the "howard beach route" (the green one) and then transfer to the A train? The A goes directly to campus ...

No worries, Ladubya, happy to try and make the transition into ETP easier. I know I had tons of questions last year and not a lot of answers. Anyway, Summer clinicals are basically just getting acquainted with the hospital setting and caring for pat...

The ETP schedule generally followed the format below in 2010/2011. Although, we had two 1 credit courses that were only 5 weeks long thrown into the mix (one in the Fall and one in the Spring ahead of our Tuesday afternoon class) Summer: M: Class 8-...

Hi JV, that is exciting! Congratulations on making a decision. So they declared the Acute specialty and I believe they are going to work next year as a nurse and not go to into the MSN. The year of will allow them even more time to explore nursing...

JV, A friend of mine in my class was in the same boat. They ended up choosing another specialty (I think Acute) and they are going to "step out" and work for a year and then "re-apply" to anesthesia when they wanted to come back. Their thinking was...

Hi, the BSN is the may of your ETP year so yes you can step out and work as an RN. What's nice is it's a pretty clean break between RN and MSN. i.e. if you take a year to work you can pick back up pretty seamlessly the next year.

Kerry and other waitlist folks, farful is correct. Midwifery and Anesthesia set their cohorts and (supposedly) don't accept off the waitlist. That said, people do come off the waitlist. If you have questions about timing I'd call the office, they ...

Hi guys, I'm not in psych but I'll see if I can ask someone to jump on and answer your psych questions. At accepted students day you'll get to eat lunch with a student in your specialty and then you will go to a meeting with your program director and...

Congratulations to all who got in! I'm a current ETP/Masters student and I've been on here before as well as a few of my counterparts. Feel free to ask questions about the program I'm sure we'll answer as best as we can. Classes are light for us ...

Hi all, if this helps (I'm a current ETP student) we got the email from Jose titled "Your Columbia University Nursing Decision" on 2/4 last year advising us they were finalizing admissions decisions and we received the actual decision email from Judy...
