Hello, I am a recently accepted student to UCSF for the ACHIN program. I haven't met too many other Advanced Community or International Health Nurses and I was wondering if you're out there, what you...
I can't speak to the quality of the program. The online degrees at UCSF are just to make money to essentially fund the live attendance programs. If you want to do the APPHN-CNS, there is a global...
Dear Nurses, I recently graduated in September 2014 from a top nursing program with an MS in Nursing. I did my residency at a prestigious pediatric hospital and was offered a position there in June. I...
I just wanted to update everyone that I ended up leaving my job at the well-paid university well-funded hospital after working for 10 months there as an employee and 6 months as a graduate student...
I'm planning to start working on my portfolio. I'm quite a unique case as I have a generic MSN (with the 3 P's in case I want to get further certificates) and MPH, so I qualify via a non-traditional...

The specialty at UCSF is now called APPHN, they dropped the Global Health Component as a foundation of the program, but you can minor in Global Health and UCSF has an MPH program through the Global...
ACHIN is no longer offered at UCSF. It is now Advanced Practice Public Health Nursing because of the lack of international residencies. A Master's in Public Health Nursing (MS degree at UCSF not an...
Thank you, I really appreciate that perspective. I also have an interest in health disparities and hope to work in that once I graduate (a long time from now). Did you ever do the Mexico mult-school...
I think that's good advice. What I meant by MEPNs being different from the MSN students is that MEPNs aren't nurses yet and dont' have the experience that BSNs have coming into the MSN program. They...
I'm a MEPN. I don't know what advice to make you stand out because MEPNs are such a different category of people from the MSN students. Everyone of the MEPNs has a very unique profile. My best advice...
