  1. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi yall OK, so I got into Hopkins! Yay. Not sure that I want to move to Baltimore, but I'm so relieved that I at least got in somewhere. :-) There's someone here that goes there, right? Who was that?...

  2. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi yall. Hope everyones second semester is going well. My apps are in, I have a (phone) interview scheduled with JHU, and now I guess I just have to sit tight and wait for a couple of months. Aahhh!...

  3. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you so much, Jess and BCzito. Hearing from you has made me feel a lot better about all this. I've had a rough couple of days (just found out my gram has breast ca mets in lungs and brain, and...

  4. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Jess and BCzito Thanks for telling me a bit about the "theme" at BC. Are you both first-year? (i wonder if it's any different in the second year). I don't know what the PC way to put this is. But,...

  5. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hehe -yah, I had actually heard / thought of this before, BCzito. And pretty much any reason to stay / not to stay under the sun. I was being facetious. In all seriousness, it's not an easy decision...

  7. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yup, that's right, I sent the last of it off this morning. Yay!! In total, I did 5: BC, Northeastern, Simmons, MGH, JHU. I'm hoping for BC or MGH at this point. Now I just have to sit back and wait....

  8. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Jess! It's great to hear that things are going at least relatively well for you. I'm glad that the program has been so accomodating - that's nice to hear. So... I'm finishing up the last of my...

  9. No Relief, Embarrasing Moment

    janony replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry that happened, Marie. I used to have very heavy periods (before BC pill... i don't need it for the BC but for cycle control it is HEAVEN!). One thing that helped was to switch to using a...

  10. cracking at corners of mouth

    janony replied to Kim-rn's topic in General Nursing

    I get this twice a year or so. In my case it's a fungal infection - clears up in a few days by using SMALL amounts of OTC athletes-foot cream on the area 3x daily. If you do this, be careful not to...

  11. PhD/NP advice

    janony replied to chicoborja's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm actually in a very similar position... in year 4 of a PhD in cell biology. I'm applying to direct-entry MSN programs right now, for entry fall 2006. (*please* don't start with the criticisms of...

  13. "why not medical school?"

    janony posted a topic in General Nursing

    This may not really be the right forum to post this, but I'm hoping for responses from a diverse group of people, not just students. So: I'm currently a biology PhD student. And I'm applying for...

  14. "why not medical school?"

    janony replied to janony's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies. It helps to hear that I don't have to justify my decision to anyone except ME. Unfortunately, I think the majority of the faculty in the graduate program that I'm planning...

  15. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the MGH info... i'm glad you are enjoying it! That's one of the places I'm applying to. The past two weeks I: 1. told my current research advisor (ie, boss) of my plans. he wasn't exactly...

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know yall are probably super busy already, but if you're still reading this thread - please let us know how the first few weeks of school are going! I'm particularly interested to hear from the...

  17. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ooops, I guess I was really not clear about my academic situation in that post. If you read back a couple weeks I explained it in more detail. Basically, I'm NOT getting kicked out of grad school. I'm...

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Josh I can't anwer your questions, but I wanted to say Hi and ask what other schools you are applying to. I have BS in biology and 4 years of grad school in cell biology (towards a phd, which i'm...

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    whoops! forgot the hopkins blurb. here it is. :) >>>>>>>>> Benefits of a Direct Entry to Combined BS to MSN Program at Hopkins vs. an entry level Master's Program Many...

  20. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Kim Well, if you want to be a NP / CNS, I think you need a masters degree, so that's the advantage of BSN over MSN... As for combined vs. separate, Hopkins' website has a blurb on what they think...

  21. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Kim I'm in a somewhat similar situation - I have a BS in biology (and am most of the way through a phd in cell biology), and am applying to direct-entry MSN programs for Fall 2006. I also don't...

  22. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    wow, thanks for all the BC info. I think you are probably right that the discrimination stuff is higher up in the organization and that it wouldn't make a practical difference. Pre-reqs wise, it's...

  23. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Jess! Wondering if I should add BC to my list of schools. How did you decide to go there? Where else did you consider? Do you have any idea how competitive it is to get in? NO OFFENSE INTENDED TO...

  24. Direct-entry MSN programs

    janony replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi all Thanks so much for your input! Yah, I'm reconsidering applying to UCSF - they actually were the only school that rejected me when I applied for phd programs. My roomie is an MD and did one of...
