If anyone has questions about the program, particularly the WHNP specialty, and wasn't able to make it accepted students' day feel free to contact me! I am in the program and am graduating this May (woot woot!)

It depends greatly on where you intend to practice and which specialty you're pursuing. The best way to find out would be to contact the advisors at programs you are interested in or get in touch with recent graduates to learn about their experiences...

Hey everyone! Congrats on your acceptances to BC! I am currently in the 1st year of the program and am in the Women's Health specialty. I just wanted to say that creating a Facebook group is one of the best things you can do for each other. It's a gr...

Hey Meeeshlizz, Congrats! I'd do a search of allnurses for MGH 2012 and Northeastern 2012 and you'll find specific threads for reach school. There's a bunch out there so you can talk pros/cons with everybody :) I think there may even be an MGH facebo...

I got the financial aid email too! haha :) I'll be waiting to see what the official letter has to say, but I'll probably be going to BC instead. I applied for the dual adult gero/ women's health tracks. congrats everyone!

Is anyone on here choosing between BC and Columbia? I'm having a really hard time deciding where to go and at this point am looking for any feedback or information that people are willing to share! Thanks :)

I remember hearing something about an ETP student moving out of state to get a job for her required 1 year in the ICU, and then having to move back to NYC to start the anesthesia specialty courses. What a pain! But, for those of us who plan to go str...
Hey All, Can you tell me how feasible you think it would be to take just the lab component of UNE's organic chemistry course? I took organic chemistry a few years ago, but now I need an organic lab before starting graduate school. How correlated are ...
Did any one end up taking just the lab component of UNE's online Organic Chemistry I course? I took an organic course a few years ago, but now I need a lab component before starting grad school. I'm wondering how difficult it is to take the lab by it...

Also, even if you can't work in a hospital, there are opportunities to work directly with underserved or disadvantaged populations. Try working at homeless shelters or organizations that work with domestic violence victims. Also, free clinics are alw...

@bluskyy- are you going to Columbia for sure, or are you going to wait to hear back from other MA schools? I was accepted to Columbia as well and am trying to decide if it would be a good place for me! :) congrats on your acceptance btw

Hey All- I decided to attend another program for WHNP, so that's one interview candidate out of the way for you future-CNMs! Good luck with the interviews! I'm so happy that I didn't have to interview for my program :) Sooo stressful. haha

Has anyone received an itinerary for Friday, or have any idea what we are doing during those hours? I will be on campus for the entire day, but that is the only time I will have to visit Emory and make a decision. So, I'm trying to make the most of m...

@mollymargaret- Did you apply to other programs? What is your first choice? Also, did you ever consider being an FNP and focusing on women's health in practice? I am trying to figure out what would be the best route to go. I know that I want to have ...

@LookingAhead- do you know if it is encouraged/discouraged for the WHNP specialty? Also, I heard that in order for the NP license to be transferrable to another state, it has to be active in NY for at least 6 months. Does anyone know anything about t...
silvrdove replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate
I have heard that you can, but I don't know where that info is on the Columbia website. I'm not sure if you have to re-apply to your master's specialty at that point, or if they hold a place for you in the next class. I know that for anesthesia, it i...

If I end up at Columbia, I will absolutely be looking for a roommate! I think it would be much better to live with fellow students than alone or with someone random. :) It seems like many people (at least on this forum) are choosing to go elsewhere- ...

On the financial aid website they say that if you have your FAFSA in by Feb. 15th, you should expect a financial aid package by the end of March. So... the waiting continues! haha
