Hi everyone! I am starting my specialty graduate program this fall and in looking at my class's required textbooks, our professor recommends either the DSM-5 PDR or Manual, and I can't find much...
We started with 72 students-largest GEP cohort ever! Last year it was around 50. I think the biggest specialties are Family, Acute, Midwifery, and Mental Health. Hmmm... I don't think I'm going to...
Hi y'all! I was in your shoes a year ago, and I just finished my second week of the UIC GEP! *takes a deep breath in* Hopefully I can offer some insight into some of your questions. Angelala-I'm...
The UIN given on my application isn't working. I'm going to have to dig up my acceptance letter and see if there's a different number on there. Thanks, promise003, for that
No apologies needed!! :) I'm just glad you updated us before I started the whole app process for their school. BTW- sjj & rachel - Do you guys know of a secret password or something that makes...
Oh no!! I was planning on taking that option if I needed to take that pre-req. For the record, I sent an email to Julie on April 28th asking about my transcript review as well as what course(s) at...
Arguh. This is incredibly frustrating. I'm tempted to stop by the office in person (which I realize probably isn't an option for most of you) just to make sure my spot is secure and find out which...
Ohhh... Now I see what you mean. Yeah, I'm almost certain what you're remembering them talking about is the transition from classroom hours to clinical hours. Maybe my mind is fooling me and creating...
I didn't hear anything like that at the session I attended. The way you phrased that question makes it sound like the program is 7 days a week, but I remember the current students (in response to...
I still haven't heard from Julie. I left her a voicemail this morning because I know she prefers not to receive multiple emails on a topic. Summer classes at CCC start in a month, so I'm getting...
Liza324 - I'm sorry to hear that, but I wanted to emphasize what CPA2MSN said about asking why you were waitlisted. Even in the information session I attended at UIC, one of the current GEP students...
I was just re-reading the parts of the thread I missed because I was out of town and I meant PMH (psychiatric mental health, the NP track to become a PMHNP).... Sigh, I guess I was really not paying...
The list on course options (which was updated 11/2010) has three online courses listed: University of Phoenix, University of Washington and Roosevelt University. But they all seem pretty pricey....
We simultaneously posted! :) You can start any time. I copied the info below from the link I posted above. Schedule: Enroll anytime; course begins the day you enroll and you have three months to...
Okay, I looked up the other online course, and it's a little more affordable, though not as inexpensive as CCC. $1,450 plus $5 supplemental reader. I'm not sure if there are application or...
buzzj - I wrote Julie this morning to ask about a CCC course and see if my background could be evaluated to see if I could opt-out. I'll let you guys know once I hear back. I'm sure she's very busy...
I live in the Bridgeport area, on the Southside of Chicago. I was born in the city, but grew up in the suburbs and attended school on the East Coast. I'd love to meet up with folks to meet you-all! :)...
Oh no!!! I'm so sorry. I just had a chance to check the forum, I spent all of yesterday travelling home from visiting family for the holidays. You have that list of all the other PMHNP programs I...
Thank you, everyone, for letting me know I'm not the only one who had an interview with someone who hadn't read their app!! I know my interviewer hadn't read my application because she seemed...
