  2. BMCC Nursing Program Spring 2018

    For the record and so others do not discount my experience, I did not graduate "years ago." I graduated less than 2 years ago in 2016. I have a voice as well, and you could stop replying to my...
  3. BMCC Nursing Program Spring 2018

    I am not contradicting myself. I commented because I wanted to share my positive experience which contrasts with your negative one. You are getting defensive simply because I disagreed with you by...
  4. BMCC Nursing Program Spring 2018

    There is no need to be rude or snide. You are perfectly entitled to your opinion just as I'm entitled to mine. Expressing my opinion/perspective on the points you brought up in yours does not prevent...
  5. BMCC Nursing Program Spring 2018

    I disagree with @TheTruth2019. Most nursing programs are challenging as they should be. Many people have difficulties with the critical thinking style of questions on exams as they require...

  9. Columbia vs. JHU for DNP

    Thanks so much for your input FullGlass! Yes, they did mention the car bit to me which wasn't a problem since I have one. Were you able to work throughout your education with the rigorous...
  10. Johns Hopkins BSN - DNP Fall 2018

    They actually don't recommend you live within the area of the school. Most students I believe live in a different neighborhood and take either the free JHU shuttle or the city bus or metro to get to...
  11. Johns Hopkins BSN - DNP Fall 2018

    Hi Everyone! I visited JHU SON yesterday. The area around the hospital campus where the school of nursing is located is not the greatest. I don't think it's as scary as others have made it out to...
  12. Columbia Post-RN DNP Program

    Hi Emmanem830, If you go on the website, under "Academics" -> "Academic Program Plans," there is a sample program plan. Looks to be about 74 credits starting and then if you want to do a...
  13. BMCC Nursing Program Spring 2018

    Hi @louismimi, To my knowledge, you have to complete all of the prereqs and then sit for the HESI exam. Is the HESI what you meant when you said Kaplan? I applied 2013 so it might be called...

  20. Columbia Post-RN DNP Program

    Hi MS1983, I believe it is fairly competitive as it is a top ranked nursing school. However, they do stress that they take a holistic approach to applicants so it's not necessarily all about GPA and...
  21. Columbia Post-RN DNP Program

    I got the same email that my app was complete and is under review. On the website it said we find out in March. I think it's typically around
  22. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    I have a professional background in public health. After I obtained my RN license, the program I work for (non-profit, DOH funded program at a major city hospital) happened to receive additional...
  23. How do you feel?

    Lol...I believe nursing theory classes are supposed to provide a foundation and grounding for research and policy formation...affecting change on a systemic level and such... That's what I like about...
