  1. 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...
  2. PMHNP student - should I buy the DSM-5 PDR or Manual?

    Thanks! I bought the manual.
  3. UIC GEP 2013

    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...
  4. UIC GEP 2013

    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...
  5. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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

    Wait-how are you guys setting up your .uic account? Am I out of the loop yet again? I haven't received my snail mail package yet, was that info in
  7. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    Ooh! Just got an email confirmation that my deposit was received. It looks like we should expect to receive course evaluations next
  8. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  9. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  10. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  11. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  12. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    Wait, what seminar? I thought Swimmer was referring to the physiology & anatomy
  13. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...

    Swimmer- I am taking a&p at Malcolm X (City Colleges of Chicago) over the summer and
  15. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  16. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  17. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  18. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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....
  19. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  20. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  21. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  22. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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! :)...
  23. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
  24. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    I'm in to MPH!!! :) Congratulations,
  25. UI Chicago GEP Spring 2012

    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...
