  1. UVA CNL May 2011 applicants

    I haven't been invited either! Is it alphabetical order? or are the strongest applicants are asked to interview
  2. Georgetown WHC Scholarship discontinued?

    Has anyone gotten confirmation on the WHC scholarship? Is it still available? It's listed in their FAQs but it's not listed on the scholarship
  3. University of Colorado accelerated BSN summer 2013

    I'm from out of state too. I asked them about the interview before and they said that the HIGHLY recommend an in-person one and rarely make exceptions. They said last year they allowed only 5 skype...
  4. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Yes MGH is less competitive than BC. MGH also makes their students take some classes online. Marquette is really picky. I took Honors Stats in 2007 and they won't accept it either even though...
  5. Yeah I am curious about this too. I already know I want to eventually become an acute pediatric NP. but I do want to work as an RN in a PICU for at least a year before I pursue that because after...
  6. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Anything you can do to stand out (in a positive way) is good. Going in person and meeting people shows that you go to extra mile and are sincerely interested. I've called some of these schools several...
  7. UVA CNL May 2011 applicants

    No I am from out of state. I haven't heard anything yet! Oh this waiting is
  8. Another CNL question thread... :)

    Yes you can and probably will work as an RN at first after graduating from a CNL program. You don't even need to get the CNL certificate. And yes you can become a NP later on if you did a CNL program....
  9. UVA CNL May 2011 applicants

    Thanks for answering questions Meg! I really love UVA. It's the only MSN-CNL program I am applying to (I'm applying to direct-entry and ABSN programs as well). The 1:1 clinicals is my biggest draw to...
  10. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    I think direct patient care will always give you an edge but since they don't have a requirement or even mention it I don't think it's that big of a deal if you don't have any. But I think it does...
  11. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    I was going to apply to that program but then I read this: that you don't get to pick your speciality and I was not okay with that. I have no idea how competetive it is but I am assuming it is much...
  12. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Why did you decide not to apply to Duke? Their program looks great! Amazed that NYU is your backup
  13. UVA CNL May 2011 applicants

    So if you weren't invited to interview is that a bad
  14. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    Thanks for telling me that. I am applying to Pediatric Oncology so I guess I WILL submit my application
  15. Yale GEPN Applicants 2013

    Just got an email from Yale this morning that says: "Transcripts may be collected by the applicant and forwarded to our office, or sent directly from the institution of higher learning. Just be sure...
  16. Can I be accepted into nursing school?

    Some schools take your most recent grade/highest grade. I had to retake a class because of personal reasons and I asked the schools how they felt about it and most were really understanding about it...
  17. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Oops it won't let me edit my post but I actually got a 150 in quant. Does that change your answer? Yeah I wouldn't do early decision either unless you were 100% sure JHU was your first
  18. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    Kdiem, I hope you know early decision is binding? So you basically HAVE to accept. You do have a higher chance of getting in because you are only compared to other people applying early decision. The...
  19. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    Yeah I am going to hold off on sending mine since there's absolutely no benefit. I might as well wait and see if there's anything else I want to add to my resume or
  20. Where can I get unbiased info on this that doesn't go over my head? I have no idea what to think of Obamacare. I like that I can stay on my parent's insurance until I am 26 and that's about all I know...
  21. Direct Entry MSN

    You can, but it would probably easier to do a program that gives you a BSN and an MSN. Northeastern, Duke, NYU, Columbia, and UPenn are amongst the schools that do give you a BSN
  22. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    I know! I want to know now! If this nursing thing doesn't work out maybe I would get a job as an admissions officer. I wonder why it takes them so long. I would love to know more about the decision...
  23. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    So there is no benefit to applying
  24. At a long term care facility, I worked as a "med tech" which was a medication technician. I've never heard of a med tech being a med technologist until now. When I was med teching people ALWAYS...
  25. Do I need a cover letter when applying for CNA jobs?

    I would put a cover letter. It sets you apart because most people don't include one. Anything you can do to set yourself apart is
