    ghostbird posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hopefulnurse, got your pm! Once I hit 15 posts I'll reply! Rgracevn, I just got from a tour of JH and I have to say the surrounding area scared me quite a bit. Also, the program does seem to emphasize...

  10. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    ghostbird replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    ghostbird replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    ghostbird replied to nautica193's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ah got it. Do you know if this is the case for FNP? Is there any way to just go straight through for FNP? I was so busy during the application cycle that I didn't have time to look into these...
