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

    If we get a name tag at visiting students day, we should totally write our screen names on them. How the hell else are we supposed to find someone with the name, NS14 and ariahealingarts!? Droux is...

    Open the doc using Adobe acrobat pro (You can't fill in if you open just using the Adobe free reader). If you don't have Adobe pro/ that doesn't work, hand write a note on the form that says "See...

  3. HPSP for NP

    droux replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Dranger. I spoke with an Army recruiter and he basically said what you did. AF and Navy are much more NP friendly so I am trying to go that

  4. HPSP for NP

    droux replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    Quick question... Everyone keeps talking about FNP for primary care. But what about the new AGNP concentration? (Adult-Geriatric primary care) It is a relatively new concentration that's gained...

  5. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    (take all this with a grain of salt because it's just my opinion). I am quite clearly biased in favor of Columbia. But this is the Columbia thread, so that makes sense :) IMHO I don't think there is a...

  6. FY 2014 Air Force Nursing

    droux replied to SG219's topic in Government, Military

    I was just accepted to a few direct-entry NP programs (program awards BSN/MSN/NP). Am I far too late to consider applying for an Air Force scholarship if my program starts this Fall 2014? I just...

  9. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    I just want to insert a small glimmer of reality and hope on the financial front. One of the NP's I work with went to Columbia (RN to MSN, not ETP). She took out $150K in loans to become and NP. She...

  10. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    droux replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    @mentalhealthadvocate yes I applied to UCSF, but not Vandy. I was in Nashville for a wedding this summer so I informally visited Vandy... I was not a fan. The hospital is great, top notch. But, I did...

  16. MGH Direct-Entry Nursing 2014

    droux replied to kerris73's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    For filling out the FAFSA... Since they award a BSN at the end of the program, are you considered a 5th year undergraduate the first year of the program? Or are you classified as a graduate student...

  23. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    Yes I read that financial aid email, also and it was intimidating. But Columbia has quite generous financial aid... all sorts of grants, loans, scholarships, work study, etc. So I would take that high...

    droux replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    @kelseanne88 that is correct! There is also a special box you check to indicate you are working towards a grad or professional degree. If anyone applied to Columbia, they sent very detailed FAFSA...

  25. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    The acceptance letter did say which specialty you were admitted to. You don't declare subspecialty until you begin the grad/NP portion of the program. I don't believe a separate application/admission...
