  1. Columbia ETP 2015

    droux replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    The scope of practice for ACNP is deeper but narrower. I am not certain that is what I want anymore. You learn more about yourself and your interests as you go through the classes and various clinical...

  2. Columbia ETP 2015

    droux replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    They were on the new West Campus in Orange when I interviewed. It was very separate from EVERYTHING. The only things nearby were hotels and an outback steak house. After living in NYC for 7 months (I...

    droux replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm a current Columbia ETP student. We are now halfway through the program. I tried to go through and read many of the posts on this thread, but there are 21 pages. VERY active group! I remember the...

    droux replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    ariahralingarts is totally correct. DNP is the new national education standard for NPs as of 2016. This years Columbia ETP class is the last masters level NP class. Even though we were admitted to the...

    Most people get $25k Columbia PLUS (pre-licensure undergrad scholarship... free money). That brings the tuition down to $57K. There are 2 other scholarships that are need based: RWJF and Teich, they...

  6. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    droux replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    I looked at ratings, and did a fair amount of research. I decided on Discover Student Loans. I applied last week (as a 5th year undergraduate). I am in my thirties, have excellent credit, and my...

  7. Samuel Merritt University ELMSN Fall 2014

    droux replied to NJaan's topic in California Nursing

    @bluefossil. Yes, that is true for NorCal, not too many choices if you are committed to living only in this area. There are other entry level programs in other parts of California (Cal State LA for...

  8. Samuel Merritt University ELMSN Fall 2014

    droux replied to NJaan's topic in California Nursing

    I applied for FNP and I haven't heard anything. At all. No interview, no emails, just silence. I've called twice and emailed twice, neither were answered. At this point, I am taking it as a silent...

    droux replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    You can try posting your questions here (but this might not be the best place given that you have no questions about Columbia and this is the Columbia thread...?) You might have better luck on UCD's...

  10. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    droux replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    From what I can tell, most of the people admitted to Columbia have jumped ship from this site and joined the Facebook group. I am generally not a fan of Facebook, but I reluctantly joined the Columbia...

  11. Samuel Merritt University ELMSN Fall 2014

    droux replied to NJaan's topic in California Nursing

    @davidbgray83, they definitely are not struggling for applicants (especially given how few direct-entry programs there are in California). You must have had a very compelling reason why you were...

    droux replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys, I am most likely attending Columbia (acute care), but I'm not able to make it to accepted students day. Could you guys possibly share anything interesting you learn that day? I plan to...

    So it's 5:15 East Coast time and we haven't heard anything... which means MP is true to her word. She said Feb 28th, and she meant Feb. 28th, not a day

    So is this week dragging by for anyone else?? I am stethoscope/supply shopping to distract myself. There are some really good threads on here from RN/NP students about what you actually NEED vs. what...

  18. HPSP for NP

    droux replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    @jmharrold did you get the HPSP to go to NP school? Were you a nurse prior? I was just accepted to a few direct entry nursing programs and I'm just starting the application process now. Any advice,...

    Thanks for posting about the financial aid webinar! So $215,000 ballpark for the whole program. I am just going to let that sink in... perhaps the more I say it, the less crazy it will sound? Does...

    Agree with ariahealingarts. I currently work with an NP who went to Columbia... immediately upon graduation she moved to California. Had no problems with licensing. She said it is Federal. Different...

    droux replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    There are a bunch of people on the MGH thread who were accepted to NEU, so check there. It's almost like a dual MGH/NEU thread. They haven't spoke highly of it. Something about a hybrid program/online...
