  1. Looking for a quick online MSN degree.

    mzaur replied to Chris the Nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Why don't you just retake some classes at a CC and raise your cumulative to a 3.0? Or you might be able to take graduate level courses at a university without enrolling in a degree program. This would...

  2. Top online nursing grad schools

    mzaur replied to nurseprnRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Did you even read what I wrote in the post you

  3. Programs that Start May/June 2014?

    mzaur replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Seattle University starts in June. Pretty sure you missed the deadline

  4. Top online nursing grad schools

    mzaur replied to nurseprnRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I suggest you use those critical thinking skills more. Juan wasn't talking about your list but the general nursing school rankings which were last published in 2011. As the methodology link posted...

  5. MSN from NYU or DNP from Rutgers?

    mzaur replied to bjenbsn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Your jobs prospects will not be any different. This isn't like law school where ranks truly matter. Both are solid programs. As long as you're not getting a degree from University of Phoenix or...

  6. Boston College Master's Entry 2014 applicants

    mzaur replied to mzaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I guess no one else here applied this year to BC? I'm waiting anxiously for a

  7. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Had my interview yesterday. They called me an hour late so I was so worried my interview got rescheduled or something, lol. It wasn't too bad and both professors were very nice. They asked me mostly...

  8. low GPA, any hope?

    mzaur replied to Guest717328's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Direct entry programs are competitive. Even if you get your GPA up to meet the minimum 3.0, you'll be competing against many who have 3.4+. If you can get into a BSN program, that might be your best...

  9. Question for PMHNPs

    mzaur replied to Ddestiny's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Take up a meditation practice. I think this should be essential for everyone, but particularly those in the mental health field. I can't imagine working in mental health without the calm, confidence,...

  10. direct entry level MSN programms

    mzaur replied to apexapatel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There are direct entry programs that are 2 to 3 years long, and you graduate with the ability to work as an NP right away. IMO much more worth it than pursuing CNL which is just a glorified BSN....

  11. direct entry level MSN programms

    mzaur replied to apexapatel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually you're the one that's off the mark. I'm pretty acquainted with what MSN means given that I'm starting an NP program this fall. Why don't you look at the link posted above and read their page?...

  12. direct entry level MSN programms

    mzaur replied to apexapatel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    CNL is not the same as MSN. It does not allow you to become licensed as an

  13. direct entry level MSN programms

    mzaur replied to apexapatel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think there is a direct entry MSN program in Florida. You're going to have to move out of state to attend school. I'm in the same position here in New Jersey where there are no direct entry...

  14. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for sharing your experience! So your interview wasn't that long? I was told in the email that it would be 30 minutes. Also did they mention when you'd have a decision? Just

    I have my interview on the 13th! Woohoo

  17. Legalization of recreational marijuana

    mzaur replied to francoml's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Ok, so because you didn't find it addicting or didn't experience hangovers does not necessitate the conclusion that marijuana is not addictive or does not cause hangovers. There is indeed such thing...

  18. Working as RN during MSN program

    mzaur posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi everyone, I had originally planned on going for a Clinical Psychology PhD, but the field seems to be getting worse and worse. PsyNP seems like a way better career choice (more demand, better pay,...

  19. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on getting the interview! I looked through last year's thread, and people were getting interviews all through January into February, so if you didn't get an interview yet (like me), don't...

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats s-lizzy! That's awesome. I'm constantly refreshing my email but nothing yet! Do you mind sharing what date your interview is scheduled

  22. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Don't forget about cost, if that matters to you. I didn't even bother applying to UCSF because the cost of living in SF is ridiculous, and the tuition at UCSF is the highest I've seen. They keep...

  23. How common is it for a PMHNP to have a job secured prior to graduation?

    mzaur replied to luckylady5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A few areas? This isn't the first post I've seen where you say that PMHNP is only in demand in a few areas of the country. Why do you say that? I see job postings all over the country and have spoken...

  24. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you! I'm sorry to hear you didn't get in, but I wish you the best with your other applications. Where else did you apply? I sent apps to BC, Yale, Vanderbilt, MGH, and Seattle

  25. The difference between APN and FNP in NEW Jersey

    mzaur replied to DysrhythmiaRN11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    APN is just another term for NP. All FNPs are APNs. Not all APNs are
