Kelysee- Yup there is an official one created by Yale...they send the link out in a follow-up email after you've accepted. See if this works: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/home.php?sk=group_146959355368800&ap=1 It's called YSN New Students ...

Sgmaygeorge- I'm going into adult psych and would really appreciate it if you could forward me this student's info or the info for the student in adult psych specifically so I can ask her about this. This is a bit bothersome, especially since the di...

Rainbow - is your quote of 160k including living expenses? I'm separating the 2, and my math comes out to ~50k the 1st year and ~35k the next 2 years, so about 120k or so for tuition and school expenses alone. I just want to make sure I'm not missi...
I want to make sure I'm interpreting my financial aid info correctly. Does anyone else notice that for the 1st year, there is no scholarship, only loans offered? It seems there's a 25k scholarship but it isn't awarded until the 2nd and 3rd years. ...

Hi Partera- Much of what she said was related to the psychiatric mental health specialty, but there were a couple points that were more general. She said the accelerated portion of the program (1st 15 months) revolved around teaching students the fo...

I spoke with a current student and relayed to her what admissions told me about not being able to work, and she said last year (her cohort) it was different and they said you need to work. OHSU is really pushing the DNP though, and this student sai...

I spoke with someone in admissions yesterday who told me they DO award the BSN @ OHSU. I also have a phone date with a current PMHNP student in an hour who I actually dug up on some old allnurses forum! Hopefully she can give me specific program in...

Is anyone on here living in San Diego and attending Mira Costa College? I tutor at MCC and one of my students says she knows another student who was accepted to the GEPN program this year...just wondering if maybe that person is on here???

Pam - did you join the 2011 GEPN Facebook group I created? If not, scroll up this page and you will find the link. I'm sure you can also search in FB for "Yale 2011 GEPN". You are from CA also right (sorry I've exchanged emails with quite a few p...

Can anyone send me any info on specifics of the accelerated program? I was accepted for the psych specialty, but they didn't arrange a day for us to visit, didn't send any info other than financial aid with the acceptance letter, and told me they we...

Farful & Everyone! - I created a 2011 GEPN group on FB so we can all easily connect with each other. Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/editgroup.php?gid=146360438760568#!/home.php?sk=group_146360438760568 There are 3 members already, a...
Tsorfia- I was also a bit unimpressed at admitted students day, and am trying to decide between Columbia, Yale, and OHSU. Out of curiosity, where did you decide to go?
TanyaPMHNP replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate
I live in CA also and got my packet Saturday or yesterday (was out of town until Sunday night so not sure when it arrived). It also depends on when you filled out your FAFSA (I filled mine out well over a month ago).

Did anyone notice a statement that says you won't receive the YSN Scholarship unless you accept the other loans? I was planning on only taking that scholarhsip but not other loans so I don't have to be in debt after school! For those of you that w...

Me too Williams!!! I also got the call today (thank goodness since us West coasters wouldn't have gotten our letters by the time we travelled east to Columbia) and also a call from OHSU, and am now in the tough situation of deciding between AMAZING ...
TanyaPMHNP replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate
Same thing happened to me! I had 2 voicemails when I landed in NY: one from Yale and one from OHSO, both offering me admission. Going back to your earlier question, did you ever get any feedback as to how important the BSN is, considering that some p...

I am 99.9% sure there's no way I will get my letter today (CA), but I'm having such a difficult time concentrating at work that I am actually leaving 2 hours early...so I can be a nervous wreck at home instead since I'm being completely unproductive ...

Seriously! I have to tell Boston College my decision by Friday 3/04, and (a) I'll be in NY visiting Columbia then; (b) I probably won't even have heard from Yale by then! Since Boston is 3 hours ahead of CA, even if the Yale letter comes Friday, ch...
