  1. Relocating for Direct Entry MSN Programs

    Kensington replied to peonie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, kris! I'm relocating from California to Connecticut for Yale's program, and while I don't actually want to move, it's still exciting to know that I'll live on the east coast, which is something...

  2. Nursing School Suggestion?

    Kensington replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Definitely try Yale, Columbia and USD -- private schools tend to look at a lot more than just your GPA. Write an awesome personal statement, and do well on GREs and prereqs. Good

  3. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

    Kensington replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just a reminder -- if you were accepted to Yale's GEPN program (or are on the waitlist!), please send me a PM with your email address and I'll add you to our Google group. We are currently chatting...

  4. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

    Kensington replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, it is crazy (although I haven't received my packet yet), but we have been talking about it on the Google group. It's so unfortunate with how much money Yale has that they can't do more for...

  5. Accelerated BSN or ELMSN schools that are easy to get into?

    Kensington replied to SparkleRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard that Columbia is a bit easier to get into, but I haven't applied there myself, so this is not from first hand experience. Columbia just takes a very large class (somewhere around 200 I...

  6. Groveling for a Direct-Entry MSN Program

    Kensington replied to Nosmas's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My one friend at USD was a 2.7 I believe, and my friend at Columbia was a 2.9. Thanks so much, I'm excited to get going already! :)

    Hello, everyone! Just curious if anyone submitted an application to Georgetown's ABSN program for this fall? I just finally mailed mine in today! Best wishes!

  8. Groveling for a Direct-Entry MSN Program

    Kensington replied to Nosmas's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Let me ask this first - can you apply anywhere in the country? I was just accepted into Yale's direct-entry program, and I have friends (2 of which did not have good GPAs at all) and they both got...

    Kensington replied to austin215's topic in General Students

    Kensington replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm so monumentally bored with this discussion. Good luck,

    Kensington replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey y'all, I started a Google group for our class (class of 2011!), so that we can chat and figure out housing stuff, moving, etc. I'm going to see if I can get a couple current students to join the...

    Out of curiosity, what was your start-to-finish process for getting into nursing school? Congrats to

    Kensington replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You are the best! Thank you for sharing with us! I'm moving from San Francisco also, and that's how it feels to me -- very scary! Did you find the transition really difficult? What part of the city...

  14. Georgetown University Accelerated Second Degree BSN Applicants

    Kensington replied to *TK8's topic in General Nursing

    Well, here are my thoughts, and remember, it's just my opinion. While life experiences are hugely important to one's decision to become a nurse, I think that personal statements are best used to...

  15. Georgetown University Accelerated Second Degree BSN Applicants

    Kensington replied to *TK8's topic in General Nursing

    Well, for the most part, yes -- most people found out at the same time. Since I know several people who have received interviews, I can only guess that I'm not one of them. I guess we will for sure...

    Kensington replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, KekelaNikol! Thanks so much for joining out posting and sharing your knowledge with us! Yes, we are all scrambling for any bit of information that we can about that program. Also, some people...

  17. Direct Entry GRADUATE NPs

    Kensington replied to mvanz9999's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm very interested in the idea of having a residency upon becoming an NP. Do any hospitals offer anything similar

  18. Wrong for any school to charge $90,000 for the pre-nclex one year curriculum

    Kensington replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that you have made a solid point, and that it's worth others' consideration. It's nice to have someone share their experiences whose been through the trenches, and to do so from an emotional...

    Kensington replied to Wikireader's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations, you two!! I haven't heard anything for FNP - has anyone in that specialty heard anything

  20. Georgetown University Accelerated Second Degree BSN Applicants

    Kensington replied to *TK8's topic in General Nursing

    Just checking in with you guys -- do you think that for those of us who haven't heard anything about an interview yet means that we won't get

  21. Wrong for any school to charge $90,000 for the pre-nclex one year curriculum

    Kensington replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I just have to say -- does anyone know a school that actually charges $90,000 for the first year? I ask because my tuition is $38,000 for the first year + books and supplies. That clearly is no...

  24. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN for fall of 08'

    Kensington replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, I was bummed too. I'm worried that we aren't going to get anything but the maximum in Stafford loans. Kev, if that's the case, what will you
