    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi everyone! I'm retaking the GRE tomorrow. Thanks, kdiem! I'm so relieved to have one done and out of the way. After the GRE, I'm planning on getting JHU and Duke's apps completed. Morganw1, I don't...

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Lindsay - I don't think it's necessarily true that everyone has a CNA license before applying! I honestly don't even think they're necessary, I would just say get some type of health care experience...

    Hey morganw - no idea about the cost, I'm guessing probably 20k in tuition. However, I googled some old threads on JHU, and found out it is rather expensive, but that the program allows great...

    Ah, interesting to know about summer entry! I was going to apply for fall entry anyways, but I'm definitely going to now that you told me that! And that is crazy about Yale's essay... JHU has 5...

    Hi! I had looked into both Virginia and UCLA, but they don't offer direct entry programs for NP, just CNL. The other schools do not have any type of direct entry programs. UCLA also requires...

    Morganw - thank you for the kind words of encouragement, but you never know with any of these schools! They are all so competitive and looking for so many different things. I was reading one old...

  8. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello! So I really wouldn't stress about the GRE. The GRE is no longer required for JHU - it isn't on their website anymore, so I emailed to inquire, and they said it was no longer required. I'm so...

  9. Entry Level Programs

    hopefulnurse24 replied to combinate's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what I've read on here, the DNP is not a mandate, just a goal that they have in mind, and it is supposed to depend on the state, so it may not even end up happening, from what I understand. MSN...

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    kdiem - I wouldn't worry about general chem and general bio grades too much! I think they really like to see high grades in those microbiology, anatomy and physiology classes, since that is going to...

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm sure you'll do great on the GRE! I used the Kaplan book the first time around to study, but this time, I am finding that the Barrons book is the most helpful for GRE prep. I have also heard that...

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yup, they require inorganic chemistry. But, inorganic chemistry just means a regular chemistry class - not organic chemistry.. aka general chemistry. Your life science chemistry class would count! We...

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You may have come across my name. I've posted in some threads from last year looking for stats from people who were accepted to the schools I'm interested in, like GPA and GRE scores and volunteer...

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm applying to Boston College, Duke, and UPenn also! Not sure about Johns Hopkins yet because they don't have my exact speciality but one that's close (regular pediatrics). Duke, however, is no...

    Hi guys! Just some information I have to share - Northeastern does not require the GRE, but only takes 24 people total out of over 300 applicants. Just wanted to let you guys know, it's going to be...

  22. Pediatric Critical/Acute Care NP?

    hopefulnurse24 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Pediatric

    Thank you for the good advice! I feel that regular pediatric nurse practitioners probably aren't hired for hospitals, except for maybe regular pediatric floors. I will definitely speak to someone at...

  25. MEPN program/PA program

    hopefulnurse24 replied to emmidoniak's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They may say they don't require hours - but they typically won't take you if you don't have any. The pool is very, very competitive and they will take someone who has 2000 hours of direct patient care...
