No- going to Elon. I like being finished sooner, having more clinical experience, and being able to be more flexible in my practice options. I was also not all that excited that only 2 AE students get into the FNP concentration.

oops- sorry to cause you stress- I didn't think about that! I am sure Charlotte takes and extra day or two. They might not mail them all out at the same time too (maybe based on interview day or alphabet....). Thanks for the congratulations- I am ...

I live near Raleigh. I decided to go to the PA school that I was accepted at instead.

Did you receive anything yet kenthomas? I got my acceptance today, but I am choosing to decline and attend a different program. I hope you got some good news!

JS422- yes that is the program we are talking about. You might want to give them a call to see what your status is. They all seem really nice, so I don't think they would mind you asking.

Congratulations! I hope it goes well :w00t:

no-the interview was in person. The called the day before and gave me an option of yesterday, today, or a couple different days next week. Yesterday was the only day I could get down there (I am over 80 miles away). So, it was quite short notice. ...

They called my phone and I had an interview yesterday. It was pretty laid back and only lasted about 30 minutes. They told me they will not be notifying of decisions until the end of February or the beginning of March, so I think there is plenty of...

Have you gotten an interview yet kenthomas? I did finally get called for an interview, but I am not sure how far along they are in the interviewing process.

jjic- I get minor breakouts and have either had allergic reactions to the creams/gels the dermatologist has given me or have not had success with them. I will try the lemon juice idea :-)

kenthomas- I just realized I never replied to your post. How did your GRE go? riturathee- have you applied there before? Best wishes to you!

Organic Chem is hard. I would take the higher level General Chem so you have a better knowledge base for your O Chem classes. Do you need Gen Chem I & II to take Organic? I only needed Gen Chem I as my pre-requisite. I guess maybe it depends ...

It sounds to me like you made some nice friends.

kenthomas- did you attend the information session yesterday? I was there but I forgot about this conversation so I didn't think to look for you.

Thank you. I am pretty sure that is my plan- it makes the most sense even if it is a more competitive program.

So, I am applying for a Direct Entry MSN program. I will tell you a bit about the one I will attend: I will get my RN after one year and work full time for 2 years while completing the MSN portion. My school helps you find a job and plans your cli...

But, here's the thing. Those parents that you are judging are often products of how they were raised too. Someone has to stop judging, stop saying things like "just stop overeating" or "I overcame this- you should be able to also" and actually see ...

Just want to give a positive story- my own. I was a thin child, until we moved- when I was 8. It was summer and I had no friends and became depressed. My parents like junk food a lot, so I gained weight quickly while spending most of my time in fr...

I don't think it makes midwives look unsafe. It seems pretty clear in the article, that there are midwives who do undergo good training and that they are just trying to get a system in place to protect mothers from midwives like this one- who obvious...

Thank you thank you thank you for this post. My interest in medicine started on a mission trip to a third world country. Fortunately, we set up our own medical clinic, so I didn't have to help in in situations like what you are describing, but I did...

mya612- I plan to attend ECU as well, but I thought their website said that you have to spend 9 days on campus throughout the program for working with standardized patients and practicing physical assessments. This won't be a problem for us in NC, b...

When my husband was in the custom cabinet business, he was always late getting home and had to run do work stuff or take work calls at the worst times. Over time I did start to resent it because it felt like work was more important to him than me. ...

Do you have any public (state-supported) universities in FL that offer it? My plan is to attend one in my state and the whole program (tuition only for a direct-entry program) will cost me about $18000 full time. So, I guess if I already had my BSN ...

Maybe start a gratitude journal...start the day with prayer and thanks? I felt like that in the past and still have my days, but my relationship with God really is the only thing that gives me lasting satisfaction and helps me find contentment. I c...

Kaplan vocabulary flash cards worked well for me. I used Kaplan for math and did well there too, but it was the old format (thank goodness!). I took several practice tests. I even downloaded some study materials on my iPod (they were free at the t...
