  1. Boston College Masters Entry 2015

    Bumblepea replied to snailszy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It's accredited and was mentioned to me by admissions, so it should. It's also worth 4 credit hours without a lab component which I found

  2. Boston College Masters Entry 2015

    Bumblepea replied to snailszy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I actually found an online patho course at butler community college in Kansas, which was half the price of the one at UNE. If anyone else is interested, it starts on 3/23 and ends

  3. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    @Doulame I was one of the students accepted to ETP, but not for midwifery. I've had pretty extensive/honest communication with the admissions office. From what I have been told, there will be no...

  4. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2015

    Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi folks! I'm wondering if anyone else on the waitlist knows about what our odds are for receiving an offer of admission. I've tried getting in touch with admissions a few times and can't seem to get...

  5. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    @MissesOh. I just got accepted into the same program at MGHIHP--I don't think I'll go. I've heard really mixed reviews about the program and it's pretty expensive. If it helps, I've heard that a lot...

  6. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    @ NMW1982 Columbia appeals to me more than other programs because I'd like to work abroad and within research communities re: antenatal/intrapartum care and maternal and infant health. In addition to...

  7. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    It's such a personal decision. There are definite pros to attending Columbia depending on what you're looking for in a program. It's also one of the most expensive accelerated programs out there. I'm...

  8. Boston College Masters Entry 2015

    Bumblepea replied to snailszy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Did anyone else get accepted for the WHNP

  9. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    So, I also got into Boston College for WHNP and was waitlisted at Penn for the CNM/WHNP track. Given that I don't have a spot secured on the CNM track at Columbia, but would love to study midwifery...

  10. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    @Bettybones. Thanks, that's really encouraging information! I'm still strongly considering Columbia with the expectation that I could find my way into the midwifery track after the BSN portion is...

  11. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    I had a small breakdown thinking about taking on so much debt. Then I realized, there are plenty of nursing/med professionals who've done it before. The earning potential with an advanced practice...

  12. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2015

    Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    If it's any consolation, I know that Penn technically ranks higher than Columbia for nursing. This means very little by specialty, I'm sure--but either way, kudos to you for getting into

  13. Boston College Masters Entry 2015

    Bumblepea replied to snailszy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    May might be a little overzealous, but September is definitely the most competitive month to find housing, Boston being a college town and all. There are plenty of places off-the-beaten-track you...

  14. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    Honestly, my first impulse is to eat a gallon of ice cream and cry for a few days. I desperately want to study midwifery, and might be willing to do women's health as an alternative, but am not nearly...

  15. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    Oh, please let it be me. Just out of curiosity, DoulaMe, would you mind talking a little bit about your background in birthwork? I've been waitlisted (Penn), rejected (Yale), or partially accepted...

  16. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    I had the same issue and just got off the phone with admissions. You can choose any other specialty (Peds, FNP, Adult Geront/Acute, Adult Geront/Primary, Psych) that has space, just not the one from...

  17. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    UGH. Just re-read my letter. Got in, not for midwifery.

  18. Columbia ETP 2015

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

    I JUST called the admissions office and the person I spoke with said "within the next two weeks." That seems to conflict with previous information, right? I'm not so sure we should count on hearing...

  19. Boston College Masters Entry 2015

    Bumblepea replied to snailszy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was offered a spot for the WHNP track--anyone else? I live and work in Boston already, so if anyone has their hearts set on BC, I'm happy to offer some insight on housing, recreation, and Boston...

  20. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2015

    Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    I was waitlisted for nurse-midwifery. Did anyone get in or waitlisted for the same track? It seems like a lot of us are on the waitlist. I looked at previous years' threads, and it definitely seems...

  21. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2015

    Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi folks. Does anyone have any insight into whether or not a phone interview could hurt your chances of being accepted? I do live in the Northeast, but in Boston (6 hours away). I'm about to start at...

  22. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2015

    Bumblepea replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a bit. I also submitted my app for the CNM/WHNP track. I promised myself that I wouldn't succumb to post-app anxiety, but here I am. I think what's...

  23. Looking to shadow a Boston-area CNM

    Bumblepea posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi folks, My name is Tierney and I'm a Boston-based woman. I'm currently applying to direct entry programs for CNM and WHCNP along the east coast. This would be a career shift for me, and I have been...
