  1. Follow-up of the post titled: "Academic dishonesty dilemma! Advice needed, plz..."

    Mission replied to aflac381's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that it makes a difference of the school is private or public. A schools reputation is it's most important asset and it can't afford to have it tarnished by cheaters. I did my BSN at a...

  2. Any other new grads considering a PhD?

    Mission replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not at UCLA but I can tell you, in general, if you are going to do a PhD it should be at a program that fully funds you with a T32 or some other type of training grant. A PhD is a huge time...

  3. I want to move to NYC after I graduate

    Mission replied to myrose's topic in New York Nursing

    We lived in Hudson Heights (a neighborhood in Northern Manhattan) when my daughter was first born. It's about 12 blocks from Columbia U Medical Center, where I work. It's a nice area, good schools,...

  4. Literally cried in front of the person interviewing me

    Mission replied to AB normalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, that's awful. So sorry for

  5. Any other new grads considering a PhD?

    Mission replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think it would depend mostly on what your research area is more than anything else. My personal interest is informatics so I had some flexibility as far as applying to nursing, public health or...

  6. Any other new grads considering a PhD?

    Mission replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got my MPH before pursuing my PhD. Having a solid foundation in epi and biostats has been really helpful in the PhD

  8. RN going back to be a medical assistant

    Mission replied to nurse441's topic in Nursing Career

    There are many community health organizations in NYC and the Bay Area hiring RNs. When I graduated in 2006 I just sent cover letter with my resume to local community health facilities whether they...

  9. Any PhD in Nursing Applicants?

    Mission replied to calinp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just wanted to say "Good Luck!" to you. I haven't run across too many PhD discussions on these forums. I'm currently a second year PhD student, getting ready for my last semester of classes and...

  10. Which nursing jobs are most creative? I'd love some ideas.

    Mission replied to Diahni's topic in Nursing Career

    I second nursing research. Though I think you'll need a PhD rather than an MSN. Right now I'm working on a web-based video game to help adolescents with diabetes understand how to use and trouble...

  11. IT, HIM, NI? Different sides to the same Coin...

    Mission replied to rickparrott's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Hi, I'm not sure if this will help you but I'll share my own personal experiences transitioning from IT to nursing informatics. Before getting my BSN I worked 8 years as a software/web applications...

  12. AMIA Nursing Informatics History Project

    Mission replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I saw parts of this at AMIA. It was really fascinating. The whole conference was great and I really recommend for those interested in nursing informatics research. AMIA also has a nursing...

  13. Need Advice On Wife

    Mission replied to prthd's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree with Kymmi. As a nurse you are going to be in a female dominated profession for the rest of your life. You need to talk with your wife about what her concerns are and what you can do...

  14. MPH and nursing??

    Mission replied to uncgrad's topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi Gouda! It really depends on why you want an MPH. For me personally, I really enjoyed the program. Mailman is a great school, there's an awesome array of courses to take and the people you meet...

  15. computer science before now nursing..

    Mission replied to jtanga's topic in General Nursing

    I have my first bachelors in CS and a Masters in IS, now a second bachelors in nursing. I worked for 8 years as a programmer, mostly in healthcare. Now I work for a university doing nursing...

  16. Can a new grad work part time or per diem?

    Mission replied to bcyogi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it depends where you live and where you are going to work. I worked per diem as a new grad at a low acuity pediatric SNF. Mostly I pour meds and the hardest thing I have to do (besides...

  17. Columbia University ETP grads??

    Mission replied to EffinP_Meg's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, I can tell you I had a great experience in the ETP program. I only had one "bad" preceptor, and to be honest she taught me everything about breast feeding that I ever wanted to know so she...

  18. I need some encouragement :(

    Mission replied to lullaby's topic in New York Nursing

    2nd degree bachelor's programs are easier to get into then other programs. I think NYU says on their website they'll consider someone with a 2.75. I think your pre-reqs will count more than anything...

  19. To all the NP students: how many hours a week do you work?

    Mission replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I work about 72 hours per week (2 jobs) and take 7 credits a semester. I'm able to get most of my homework done at my night job. Before I went to nursing school I sometimes worked 80 hours a week...

  20. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

    Mission replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cingular has the best coverage in the city. The rest are fine though. If you are in the PNP or ANP program you get a free smartphone when you get in the masters phase of the program. Chase and...

  22. Columbia: Questions about ETP

    Mission replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, you shouldn't have any compatibility issues but you should make sure you know how to save your document files so they are viewable on a

  23. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

    Mission replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you continue full-time you don't get the summer off, for most of the part-time programs you can choose to take the summer or the fall off. You need to take the NCLEX before you start your...

  24. Columbia: Questions about ETP

    Mission replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    BTW, if you need to save money (and who doesn't?) Columbia has these free books available from statRef: http://library.cpmc.columbia.edu/hsl/statref/refstat.cfm In particular, I would use stafRef for...

  25. Columbia: Questions about ETP

    Mission replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Even though Columbia is part of a larger university the school of nursing is very small and you will be on a first name basis with most of the faculty as you go through the 5x5s. The ETP faculty meet...
