Anyone? If so, which track?

See you tomorrow!

So when did being over 40 equate to being technologically illiterate or incapable of reading basic social cues? I must have missed the memo.

I've lost 20 pounds by tracking my calories (and increasing exercise) on My Fitness Pal. It's free and the community is/can be supportive. Once I reach my goal I will stay on the site to track my fitness progress. Good luck everyone. You can do it!

I'm going to toot my own horn a moment: I graduated from undergrad 5 days shy of my 40th (and I kicked a$$). I worked for a year and then started my prerequisites. Just finishing up with a 4.0. I'm starting grad school in the fall and I'll be 42. On...

I had an instructor like that. I basically taught myself Micro. I started studying with a partner and by the end of the semester we had a group of 11 students that met once a week. This instructor (she was NOT a professor) "taught" with information t...

I'm not on FB often but if anyone makes a page let us know!

Thank you for this tip! The switch from MLA to APA is not a fun one.

I returned to school after 20 years as well (to finish my undergrad). That first semester was a doozy. Gradually I learned that I couldn't possibly read EVERYTHING assigned. Not physically possible. Prioritizing was my saving grace. I ended up gradua...

Well, hi! If there is a FB group I don't know about it. I'm also FNP! Has anyone received the orientation package yet (the one that should contain email info, etc.)? I look forward to meeting everyone next month!

My BF is a professor and is completely aware of the rigors of education. Plus he'll be on sabbatical during a particularly grueling semester (for me) so he'll be available to do the "heavy lifting." Once school starts he knows he'll have to darn his ...

Here you fail if you score below 78% or 83%, depending on the course level. Yuck.

I don't know anyone that has attended, however when I went to interview I was told that 100% of the NP students have jobs upon graduation (and this is without a BSN). That works for me! From everything I've read, it seems like if you are going on to ...

Graduated with a BA from Mount Holyoke College with a 3.74. All pre-reqs were 4.0. Mediocre GRE scores. Under 20 hours of "shadowing" at a local hospital. No nursing experience (yet!). Wait listed at MGH and UVM. Accepted at Simmons and UMass Medica...

I received that email as well. I'm going to be removing my name because I've decided on the GEP to DNP track at UMass Medical. Now it is only 24 others! Good luck to all!

Great! I look forward to meeting you. I am currently on a mini-vacation so I haven't received my package yet. Do you (or does anyone) know if/when we have an orientation?

I will be attending. I'm in the GEP to DNP program and I can't wait! Anyone else (either the GEP or the GEP to DNP)?

Well, I haven't heard from UVM yet (probably means no go) but I'm in at Simmons and I just had an interview at UMW for the DNP program. I hope to hear this week! Tessss: Where in CA are you from? I was born and raised there. You will really like Bur...

The Memory Book by Harry Lorayne & Jerry Lucas has some great tips. Also, I walk around when I'm going over (and over) my 3x5 cards, outside if weather permits.

I had my interview yesterday. Now I'm patiently (not patiently) waiting to hear. I've already paid my deposit at Simmons, but I so want in at UMW. Is that my phone ringing?

Congratulations! Woo hoo! I applied, but I haven't heard anything yet. How did you get your acceptance?

@rainkissedleaves: Thank you for responding even though you didn't reply. I'm a native Californian myself! Undergrad brought me out East. @everyoneelse: No other acceptances? If so, would love to swap any information we've collected about SC thus fa...

Is anyone still reading this thread? I have my interview for the GEP to DNP next week (very excited!). Has anyone found out further information about the GEP or UMW? Any more acceptances?

Why did you choose not to apply? Where else did you apply (get accepted)?

Has anyone else heard back yet?
