1. California NP licensure from out of state

   sophs12 posted a topic in California

   Hi everyone, I hope this will be an okay place to post this. I'm in need of some advice. I'm in Columbia's ETP program and am 2 months away from graduating with a BSN. From June 2016- August 2018, I'll be doing my MSN in psych to become a PMHNP. I'l...

2. For those in BSN/MSN programs, preferably psych track

   Oh man, I can't believe this is happening so dramatically in other places too. Hopefully those of us with prior psych experience and a passion for MH will shine through as far as jobs and everything go. Maybe I'm a starry eyed idealist but I don't se...

   sophs12 replied to sophs12's topic in NP Students

   I agree- it's such a scary thought in a field that you have to be fully dedicated to. People can switch MS specialties at Columbia during this year, which I think is a bad idea. I wrote my essay based on my love of mental health and I don't think peo...

   That's so stressful. I came into this program believing that it was somewhat of a niched field. I feel like all of the sudden it became "cool," which is vexing to me, since I've been interested for years and worked really hard to get in.

   Hi! I'm in Columbia's ETP class. I'm on the psych track, so I'll be graduating in 2018. Out of 220 of us in the program, I think around 30 are on the psych track. This is notably high compared to past years, where there were only 10-15 aspiring PMHNP...

   Does anyone get rejected for private loans?

   Did anyone get that weird "columbia application now available" email?

   There are 226 people in the facebook group, but I think that includes some administrators and a few people currently in the program. Also, some people have written things like "help me decide between Columbia and x school...." so it's a safe bet that...

   Weeding people out?! How? I shouldn't have read that blog... the last post really stressed me out. Seems like a worst case scenario situation On a lighter note, do we not need to send in official transcripts? I used my official ones for 2 of my 4 uni...

    I'm kinda late to the game but I wanted to share their response to my Hep B vaccine concerns- as long as you have the first 2 by the April 27 deadline, you're fine!

    I applied for the 2-person suite as my first choice but it didn't differentiate on the application. I hope it's the 2 people/2 bedrooms, not the 2 people/1 bedroom!

    Thanks Matthew! That's a good idea.

    I'm incredibly stressed about the health screening. All I know is that I had the vaccines necessary to enter school in 1995. I don't think I've had hep B or hep C. I don't even live in the state I grew up in. I can't make an appointment out here yet ...

    Anyone have any insight on the best equipment package to buy? I'm not trying to spend $200, but I want to make sure buying the cheaper packages won't leave me lacking. I'm a little confused about how they're calculating costs because if you look on t...
