  1. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    I hope I didn't come across as too harsh against Columbia. Those were just my reasons. I have heard Hopkins students are competitive and very type-A. And the crime rates in Baltimore were almost...
  2. Tips, Wisdom & Advice for Getting into Nursing School?

    JDMitchell, a lot of schools waive the GRE if your GPA is above a 3.4 (I know Ohio State says it's waived if you're GPA is above a 3.0). Some master's entry programs get you a CNL or make you a nurse...
  3. Direct-Entry NP - Simmons vs Columbia?

    If you want to work as an FNP outpatient and you're sure about it (don't want to switch) and don't plan on becoming an RN then I'd do Simmons just because you live there already and it's close (and...
  4. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Good idea! I hope more people reply! I am very curious about where everyone ends up. We've been posting here together for a while. We're like pre-nursing family! Where I applied: UVA (CNL), MGH...
  5. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    ghostbird, yeah i thought that was weird. the director for PNP wasn't there too. it really depends on what you want but here are some of my reasons. abroad options- Columbia only lets you go to the...
  6. If you want to work inpatient then RN experience is important and you do need a BSN. That being said MGH only gives you the BSN after you graduate so it won't help you in between the licensure year...
  7. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    They do have them for the NP potion but they said many times your "transitions" (the preceptorship in the last semester of the ETP year) will have to be med/surg or some other floor. I think it's a...
  8. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    I went to Visiting Day and while it was fun, Columbia didn't really impress me. I think the program is too big for me and too expensive (even with a 35K scholarship), NYC seems oversaturated with...
  9. Duke University ABSN Fall 2013

    Why is Duke your first choice, jcnery over
  10. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    Just wanted everyone to know there are two groups on Facebook for accepted students: Johns Hopkins School of Nursing May 2013 Cohort and Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing Class of 2014 (Fall)...

  12. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    I am in for summer! The BSN and MSN! Thank god! I was sooooooo
  13. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    CNP did you get my latest email? I had another question too. Are the decisions being called on Monday and Tuesday or is it in upcoming weeks? I have deposits due at other schools soon and I don't...
  14. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    Oh gosh I hope that's not true. I was okay with waiting until Monday but a couple of weeks?! Have any summer people gotten in yet? I feel like everyone that was accepted today were Fall admits which...
  15. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    Oh man it's hard to relax but I am grateful for you, CNP. I was devastated (no exaggeration) when I didn't hear. It's good to know all is not lost. Okay a little dramatic here :) But thank you for...
  16. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    So if we didn't get a call today there is still hope? We just have to wait until
  17. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    No call yet. I guess that means I've been rejected. Congrats to the rest of
  18. Duke University ABSN Fall 2013

    They had us fill out a post-Duke Days survey. I'm curious to see if thy change anything based on our feedback. So report back on how it is please.
  19. JHU ABSN Fall 2013

    Is there a difference in total clinical hours between the fall and summer
  20. Duke University ABSN Fall 2013

    Duke Days was fun. I got to meet a lot of great people. The only disappointment was that they didn't tell us much about the admissions process and how they decide. But lunch with current students was...
  21. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    What is taking them so long? My application has been done since the beginning of November (aka everything was in, had my interview). They said it'll rolling applications yet we all hear March 1?...
  22. Duke University ABSN Fall 2013

    I've heard the group interview is more like an activity? I would love to hear more details about it though. I know that we have two interviews for the solo one. I also interview the 22nd! I wish I was...
  23. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Keats, Columbia does have a 20k scholarship for pretty much everyone. You gotta ask yourself if you want a BSN instead of an RN and what state you want to live in, how big of a program you want, if...
  24. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Yeah I just mean if they are tied it isn't as big of a difference as it sounds (at least to
  25. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    I think top 20 is pretty interchangeable (and some are tied so like Duke says #7 but it's really like #5 if you count the tied ones as one set). Columbia is #21 but it's a pretty good school (and...
