  1. Yale GEPN Applicants 2013

    bbcc replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Don't give up, ARickli! I felt Yale was rather annoying with not publishing GRE scores or asking for prerequisites - to me they seemed the most "up in the air" - like, we can't know what they're...

  2. Yale GEPN Applicants 2013

    bbcc replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks so much for sharing! If I apply again next year, I'll have more prereqs done (I'm at a 4.0 right now) and I'm planning to do doula training in the summer if I get in no where (I'm applying to...

  3. Yale GEPN Applicants 2013

    bbcc replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I did not get an interview for CNM - if anyone who did would be kind enough to share their stats with me (PM even), I would be greatly appreciative so I could figure out why (although I think I know!)...

  4. UIC GEP/MSN/TransitionDNP Program

    bbcc replied to bete-noire's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Once we all start hearing about interviews and acceptances, you can compare your stats to those who are applying this year. I know some schools (UPenn definitely, and others) have already started...

  5. UIC GEP/MSN/TransitionDNP Program

    bbcc replied to bete-noire's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey ppmachine - I think you have a great chance at becoming an NP! There are a lot of different schools and different ones weight things differently; obviously your GPA might be lower than others,...

  6. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    hollysf - UIC's program has a March 1st deadline but it begins in January 2014, not Fall 2013, if that makes a difference for you! It being a state school, even the out of state tuition is much less...

  7. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I get the distinct impression it's different finding your own clinicals through Vandy than, say, Walden or many of the other programs who frequently have students posting desperately on these boards...

  8. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    She seemed to emphasize that GRE are not the be-all and end all - if you think the rest of your application is strong, you'll probably be ok. If you just have an average GPA or you don't have any...

  9. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Here's the information I got on Vanderbilt from an Admissions Counselor: The pre-specialty (BSN-ish) year is 3 semesters, August to July. Most specialty years are also 3 semesters, although...

  10. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi all - I dont' see a current thread for Vanderbilt (just one from last year) but I went to an info session recently and will type up more information when I have a chance - but if anyone has any...

  11. Is my GPA too low to apply of a direct entry program?

    bbcc replied to dea2012's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you sure you're looking at a direct entry program? All of Vanderbilt's MSN programs are nurse practitioners (Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) | Vanderbilt School of Nursing). If you want to...

  12. Is my GPA too low to apply of a direct entry program?

    bbcc replied to dea2012's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What do your GRE scores look like? Did you go to a reputable school / one that is known for a strong science program / other reason that your GPA might be "lower"? My understand is schools take that...

  13. Where to take A&P????

    bbcc replied to SampsonSis's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi - don't know if you're still looking I'm currently taking A&P I at Malcolm X. I took intro Bio at Harold Washington this summer. I'm applying to Graduate Entry MSN programs, including UIC....

  14. Applying to UIC Nursing School for Fall 2013-- Help needed!

    bbcc replied to moh8's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Have you gotten actual admissions numbers vs application numbers? People have told me the UIC GEP program is "almost impossible" to get into, but they accept about 25% of applicants - which, while...

  15. I'm not sure if I'm going to fail or not.

    bbcc replied to smills130's topic in General Students

    Here's how you figure it out so you can do it in the future! You have 900 points available total. You need .756 * 900 = 681 points by the end. Your first test was .70 * 200 = 140 points Your second...

  16. Yale GEPN Applicants 2013

    bbcc replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    hollysf - I looked at last year's thread, and they said about 50% of applicants get interviews, and the interview invites have gone out around December 15th the past two years. The number someone...

  17. CNM without seeing a live birth?

    bbcc replied to bbcc's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sorry, I meant "graduate entry" as in my undergrad is not in nursing. The Students forum calls these direct entry programs which is confusing! I plan to be a CNM who focuses on home births (I know...

  18. CNM without seeing a live birth?

    bbcc posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi all I'm applying for Direct Entry CNM programs to begin next year. I'm about to turn in my application to Yale, and then I am applying to Vanderbilt and University of Illinois - Chicago. I'm...

  19. Yale GEPN Applicants 2013

    bbcc replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Does anyone know the breakdown of spots per specialty? I know schools like UIC have a "quota" for each specialty that doesn't change much between years. If 140 are accepted / 90 enroll, do we expect...
