You are not bound to stay, but the program tries to convince you really hard. One way is by distributing the cost more on the BSN. Once you finish that, you might as well pay the extra and continue. If you really only want your BSN (not getting the B...

I am no expert, but I think volunteering in as close of a capacity to where you want to work is best. Not only for you to gain relevant experience but also so you can create a professional network. All of the hospitals have volunteer programs. I have...

As long as you are not looking to work in a boutique manhattan clinic as an FNP, I would say that you should not be concerned. If you get to clinicals though and find you are learning a lot and want to advance those skills before working in primary/o...

Also, no schools are completely altruistic. And many of these issues aren't CU issues--they are direct entry nursing issues. It is important to know these issues so you can accommodate for them in your lives -- not to hate on CU. I think CU is actual...

It isn't really their own hospital. The hospital has had numerous owners over the last several years -- check out the history of the hospital. Columbia happens to be the mega donor as of late. Also, the world revolves around money. Sorry if I am the ...

You hear all over "There is a nursing shortage! We need more nurses!" What this really means is, "there is a nursing shortage in fields within nursing people don't usually want to work." Gone are the days when hospitals would come to CU and give bonu...

Hey All I am a current ETP student (finishing my last rotation before integration -- a really unique and great part of the program). I will matriculate into the FNP program, though I know a fair amount about he ANP, Psych NP and ACNP tracks because I...

Hey Everyone! I havent scrolled through the whole board yet, but I am a current student in the ETP program and am happy to answer your questions. I am in the FNP program and my roommate is in the midwifery program. We are happy to answer questions th...

Oh really? I heard at the info session that Nobody in the previous year turned down Emory for financial reasons. I will definitely post my financial status and info for future generations of NP prospectives on here to see.

I still have no word on financial aid. This is kind of nuts. The deposit was due over a week ago and soon deposits will be due at other schools. I have taken a leap of faith to trust Emory with granting good aid and submitted the deposit, but soon I ...

Totally agree. I really like Emory but it is so crummy that they are making us commit over 100k to their program and pay 250 before we even know about financial aid.I am kind of stuck too--I can't pay multiple deposits. If we don't hear back about fi...

Wait listed as well! Bah!I am in Columbia and Emory as well--penn would have made it easy to make a choice but of the 7 schools I applied to I have to pick from my tied #2s.Not a bad position, but best of luck to all who got in!If anyone knows anythi...

That's what I thought Saracee thanks

I think they made one for me but I changed it afterward.Is that true or anyone else?

Thank goodness someone as neurotic as me has the connection!I am not sure if we should seek one another out to be friends at school because we are similar or if our combine neuroses may be a bad thing ;-)

I have been jealous of you west coasters since I woke up at 8 am and thought that if I were sleeping like you all I wouldn't have to think about this. Or, that I could mini celebrate On my lunch break if I were you all.Bah.I can't check the website a...

Generally yes but switching into midwifery may be the exception.I would double check

I am not sleeping :-/ will distract myself by going to work tomorrow though.You all live cozy lives right now ha. Enjoy it before grad school!! :-)

I hate to burst your bubble (and I hope I am wrong) but it isn't t-9. We find out at 3pm, not am :-/

Is anyone conflicted about Emory vs Columbia? Or, has anyone made the choice?If so, PM me

Totally down for a piano. Or at least a keyboard as broke grad school students ha. I have a nice set of klipsch speakers to contribute.Also, I love running but am totally about distance over speed :-)

I love juicing and dehydrating! Those have been the next two kitchen Gadgets I want. I love my rice cooker steamer since it saves the water soluble nutrients that drip off the veggies in the rice. My wok, food processor and tea pot are close behind.I...

I am totally getting a dog in grad school too! I was thinking a shiba inu. Good running dogs but still small and apartment friendly :-)Also, our imaginary house will also have space for a rice cooker steamer.I bake a ton as well. School will be great...

I intend on doing that. I want to share the lame-r texts, study materials and resources for sure. I am all about collaboration Who needs a man when you have a great house, life, friends, food and education? You have so much going for you already hope...
