  1. NP and new requirements

    mzaur replied to NurseNanci1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Of course they are. They can make more money selling the DNP due to the extra credits, so why not? Many of the top nursing schools are keeping the MSN (BC, Yale, UCSF, UPenn, Columbia, Johns

  2. Does it make sense for me to get an MSW before applying to PMHNP program?

    mzaur replied to luckylady5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UIC unfortunately is getting rid of PMHNP and switching to a generalist FNP program, or that's what I've been hearing. Also, just to add to the list off the top of my head: USM, U of Rochester,...

  3. NP and new requirements

    mzaur replied to NurseNanci1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am not sure if anyone was stating that every state has to approve it, like an amendment to the Constitution or something. Rather, each specific state determines their own requirements. I really...

  4. Seattle U APNI 2014

    mzaur replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I emailed admissions about the essay. Here's what they said. I had mine at 3 pages double spaced. "The application asks you to address your personal and professional goals. You should be clear about...

  5. Does it make sense for me to get an MSW before applying to PMHNP program?

    mzaur replied to luckylady5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Let me rephrase. There are plenty of direct-entry psych NP programs. I applied to 5 but know of at least 10. It takes 2 seconds to google "direct entry psych NP" and see all the

  7. the chance to find a NP job for new graduate without experience

    mzaur replied to cymphilly's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Where did you get your degree? And are you looking for jobs outside your geographical

  8. Do MSN Programs Look at Overall GPA or Just the Last 60 Credit Hours?

    mzaur replied to kickeedee's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Most look at cumulative. Some look at last 60

  9. Advice for applying to UPenn MSN in psychiatric nursing program?

    mzaur replied to Buddy2003's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Most of the good programs (UPenn, UCSF, BC, Yale, Vanderbilt, etc) like to see volunteer experience that reflects a desire/willingness to help those who cannot help themselves, like an underserved...

  10. Does it make sense for me to get an MSW before applying to PMHNP program?

    mzaur replied to luckylady5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think an MSW will help you at all. What will help you is to take a year and begin taking all those science pre-req classes and really trying to do well in them. I also was not very good at...

  11. NP and new requirements

    mzaur replied to NurseNanci1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do not see every state changing their Nursing Practice Act, especially with how much demand there currently is for NPs, and this demand will continue to rise due to more people gaining access to...

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Has anyone's application status page changed? Mine is still the same with the green checkmarks,

  13. BC v. NU V. MGH

    mzaur replied to NS14's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey, No I did not go to that session, and I was not the one who wrote that post you mentioned. From what I know, BC does guarantee preceptors, as any solid, top-rated nursing program should. I would...

    mzaur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is a thread already for 2014 applicants if you guys want to join in

  15. Job Hunt w/ Arrest Record

    mzaur replied to MauriceLPN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Depends on your state. In NJ where I live, an expungement removes the arrest record which will help you in your case. In NY, this is different as they do not have anything to hide your

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the kind words. I will send you a

  17. BC v. NU V. MGH

    mzaur replied to NS14's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've also looked into this. There are several BC alumni here who posted that the lack of BSN made absolutely no difference for them. The MSN is what counts. I also just applied to BC and MGH (not...

  18. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    NYU and Stony Brook do not have direct entry nursing programs. I am guessing you already have an RN or BSN? I've been interested in mental health for several years now. I did a post-bac focusing on...

  19. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cool. We practically applied to the same schools! You're brave for applying to Southern Maine. Way too cold for me up there! Couldn't apply to Northeastern because they count the first year as...

  20. Accelerated BSN vs. Direct-Entry MSN

    mzaur replied to eed701's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Which NP specialty do you want to go into? Getting an RN/BSN and working for a bit might help if you're going into acute care or FNP, but if you're going into psych, then just get the MSN. Others...

  21. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I applied for psych. Where else did you apply to? And what happens on Dec 15th? I applied to BC, Vanderbilt, MGH, and Seattle

  22. Looking for adn-FNP online program with a low GPA

    mzaur replied to Newnurse29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately you will have to go back to school and get that GPA up. I had to do something similar, since I also screwed around when I first went to college and failed a bunch of classes. What you...

    mzaur replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's pretty weird to me that they still haven't updated their website about the new program details. It's almost
