I'm not a nurse (yet), but I do have an MPH. Like you, I have a passion for preventive health, so I've decided to combine my MPH with a BSN degree. The few PH nurses that I do know actually DO have...
Happy birthday breezy! My birthday is on the 30th, so hopefully I'll be opening birthday cards AND a GSU acceptance letter around that date *fingers crossed*. GSUhopeful, I'm taking Comm./Cult. Div....
Oh gosh, I hadn't thought about fall classes. I'll be finished with my pre-reqs this summer, so there really won't be anything I *need* to take. If I don't get accepted for fall, I suppose I could...
Thank you for your encouragement sn.amk! I hate that this whole process has us doubting ourselves, all because of a few digits (GPA and TEAS scores). I'm glad you're enjoying the program so far and...
Hah! I don't really expect myself to be in the "early" group of accepted folks, know what I mean? So, I'm not gonna freak out too much. I've pretty much told myself that I won't hear a decision...
Hi Elle, do you have any previous PH experience/certifications? I'd really like to be a PHN someday, and I have an MPH degree. I am surprised to hear that a new grad was able to get a PHN position;...
Thanks for clarifying the "program GPA" thing for us svictor. And I agree with you, this is a relatively small forum for GSU applicants (especially for Fall, which seems to have more applicants/AN...
I'm assuming nobody took her up on the suggestion. If they did, I'd have to say it would be worth some extra credit - except that the student would be dead and wouldn't
Wow kel3, than you SO MUCH for your answers. And congrats on making it through the program this far as a mommy - you give me hope!:yelclap: So yeah, I'll just suck it up, and roll with the punches if...
Thank you so much svictor! That did help clarify things for me. Breezy, I think the program GPA (which would include some non-science courses) is considered separately from the grades from your...
I hadn't thought about that! I'm taking AP 1right now and AP 2 during summer. My other science courses are completed though. This whole process gets more annoyingly complicated the more we think...
Ditto...just goes to show how much it stinks that admissions is focusing solely on GPA and TEAS scores. Pretty soon, they'll only accept folks with 4.0 GPAs and perfect TEAS scores, which will leave...
breezy, I have an MPH degree...while I love public health, I want to work more closely with people (and I love the clinical aspect of being a healthcare provider). I worked as an epidemiologist, so I...
We're just returning from Spring Break at my school, so we're on the home stretch. I'm doing well in lecture; aced the first exam and only missed 1 on the second exam. Our 3rd exam will be in a...
Wow svictor, you totally kicked butt on the TEAS! You are right though, sometimes what *we* plan is not always what God wants for us. I'm sure He will let you know when the time is right for you...
I don't have any answers (since I'm also hoping to get accepted), but you asked a great question! I applied for ACE, so I'm wondering if clinicals start earlier; I think I read somewhere else on this...
Hello everyone, I have an MPH (in infectious disease epi; BS in microbiology) and am currently hoping to get into an accelerated BSN program. My past work experience in PH has been primarily in...
Nah, not at this time of year. They contract the work out to the trolls until Cookie Time is over. At any rate, I wouldn't mind a mythical creature to clean up the toddler poop my kids
