  1. 2011 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    sgmaygeorge replied to astrelle's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I also got in on my first application (as well as many of the other admitted students that I've met). I think that there are definitely those that have applied more than once (probably more than...

    Orangepink, did you ever find a health assessment

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Jon! I hear ya. I'm waiting to hear back from the psych student at Yale, so I'll send their response to my questions. I've heard good things about Vandy's program, so you have great

  4. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I feel your pain! I reached out to the friend of a friend and am awaiting a response... I'd confirm both schools as I was easily equally as impressed with each program once I got to spend time around...

  5. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Definitely! I wrote back to get the info, so I'll let you know if I can get connected. I still think the program is great. (I take it all with a grain of salt that sometimes people just don't like...

    Here is some more from her, she's in adult NP or FNP, I think: ------------- My overall experience is a bit of a mix, and this rings true for just about everyone I know in ANY accelerated program....

  7. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for looking that up! I'm convinced it's the prereqs then... because Quinnipiac University (also in CT) is able to have students sit for the RN licensure after just 3 semesters also. They start...

  8. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The University of CT program is spring, summer, fall in a row and allows you to sit for the RN licensure at that time. Yale's is fall, spring, summer in a row and does not allow you to sit for the RN...

  9. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been giving this a lot of thought also. I actually just heard back from a current student that brought up this very idea and thought I'd share what she wrote. "...I hope I've been helpful, and...

  10. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've heard that the issues is not about the semesters. For example, the University of CT has a direct entry pre licensure program that is only 3 semesters and you can sit for the RN licensure at the...

  11. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think that the program does have some misgivings. For me one big one is that students don't typically sit for their RN licensure until the second year Spring (or even Summer). This is more than half...

  12. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got my financial aid package also. There aren't any loans listed (could be because of my EFC though.) Also got a letter that I got a person's name merit scholarship for different amounts each year...

    Landed in NYC (for Columbia's day tomorrow) and had a voice mail from Yale-I'm in for psych! Decisions,

    sgmaygeorge replied to astrelle's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree! There are lots of factors for deciding on a school-academic, professional, geographic, personal. People will shuffle around and figure out what's best for them (and their families!) :

  16. Columbia University ETP 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I think that the nursing rankings (us news and world report specifically) are based SOLELY on what they consider academic experts, or peer-review. Other programs like law, business, etc are based on...

  17. Columbia University ETP 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    This is a random aside: but for those of you comparing schools (and putting some emphasis on ranking), the US News and World Report is releasing updating rankings for nursing on March 15 for the 2012...

  21. Columbia University ETP 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I was wondering if any current students (post ETP) could comment on the job market in NYC for new nurses and a salary range that a new RN in NYC can expect? Also how much does having a BSN matter...

  22. Columbia University ETP 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Tanya, Yes, I'm planning to come out on 3/4. I really hope that we get to meet a lot of current students and the specialty faculty and director. Reading those old threads from years past made me...

  23. Columbia University ETP 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Here are some questions for current ETPers: - Do you feel that ETPers are well-respected amongst the nursing community in NYC? - How easy is it to find an RN position after ETP, and during the masters...

  24. Columbia University ETP 2011

    sgmaygeorge replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi everyone, I was reading past boards from ETP 2008, 2009, 2010. Have you gone through them? Towards the end of them, there were several current ETP students really making disparaging comments about...
