    SaintlyJ replied to dreamcatcher17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    SaintlyJ posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

  4. Sexy male scrubs

    SaintlyJ replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just wanted to chime in that if a scrubs brand offers a unisex version and men's-fit version, go with the unisex version if you are an in-shape dude looking for a scrub top. Those tend to be a little...

    SaintlyJ replied to jerez01's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to becoming a new grad! I remember applying for that first job can cause all kinds of anxiety and stress! I've heard that it can take awhile to hear back from YNHH, so I would apply in...

  6. Can't get into my RN Program because of Obamacare

    SaintlyJ replied to LCNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    This quote is an interesting response to another poster's point that perhaps the title to your forum message is not quite accurate to your actual situation. If fellow nurses seem nitpicky about...

  7. Sexy male scrubs

    SaintlyJ replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've found that men's Grey's Anatomy scrubs look and fit odd on dudes. I'm a fan of Carhartt scrubs for guys myself. Also, wanting advice on how to look good in work uniforms is not a ridiculous...

    SaintlyJ replied to cupcake_lake's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If you make it to the job shadowing portion at YNHH, then it's pretty safe to say that you're a good contender for the position; pending the job shadowing experience. At the shadowing experience,...

    SaintlyJ replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    SaintlyJ replied to GblHlthRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  12. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    SaintlyJ replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

  14. 2014 RN Applicants to Yale School of Nursing

    SaintlyJ replied to GblHlthRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure if the class is larger this year than it was last year. There are approximately 87 or so GEPN's in the '13 incoming class, so if anything it may have decreased because I thought...

  16. 2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    SaintlyJ replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    SaintlyJ replied to theperfectday0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SaintlyJ replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck, everyone! I'm a first year RN-MSN student here, although the application procedure was very much the same as the GEPN program last year. Since then, I've been able to get to know and...

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding RN's who apply to the MSN portion at Yale, as opposed to the GEPN program. Does anyone have any stats as far as how many apply and get...

    SaintlyJ replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students
