Hi Everyone! Chiming in as a 1st year CNM/WHNP student, meaning that I've made it through GEPN, the NCLEX, and am now in my specialty year. Happy to answer any questions. Saw a couple of questions about whether students are working as RNs or not. Of...

The only thing that you can really do is try! Work hard on your essay and do your best to tell your story- show the admissions panel that you are unique individual with a lot to give not only to the school but to the field in general.

We sound very similar! I'd rather not put my email open to the public, but I'm definitely open to talking. I think that there is a perception that Yale wants the best and highest testing scores, but it's not the case. At one point in time of my the p...

Sure. Is there a way I can private message you my email address?

I know that you wrote this a while back and I hope that this will still be helpful. I am just starting my GEPN year in the midwifery cohort and all I can really say is that it doesn't hurt to try. I think the biggest thing in that I'm seeing in my cl...

I tried to join 5 days ago, but it's still pending. Any different for you?

I just received an email from Melissa- they have started up a fb page!

I would be interested in sharing. I'd also love to discuss GradPlus vs private loans. I don't think I can send private messages, but maybe via email?

Have you looked at speciality rankings? Yale midwifery is ranked #3, while psych is #6. I'm not sure of how legit it is, but I do think it's something for us to consider.

I have a couple of friends down there who said (and I noticed this while visiting as well) that Orange is mostly suburban with very few apartments to rent. Things are spaced out and there's a lot of shopping centers and chain stores around. Most stud...

During the student panel, Yale students were talking about how they created a shared excel where they put down specific things they are looking for in their living arrangements (desired cleanliness, noise-level, partners/$$). It helped them screen ea...

That'd be great. I secured a placement with nurse midwives in Maine so I'll be leaving (so that's 1/20)

This is what I remember- other people should fill in! Yes- they talked quite a bit about that during our orientation and Professor Jevitt, the Midwifery Specialist Coordinator, was my interviewer. First of all, I would definitely recommend emailing o...

I'm in for the nurse midwifery as well!! Blown away and totally excited!

Seeing how your title mentions a doula, are you applying for the CNM branch? I'm a doula as well and will be interviewing with Professor Jevitt. Her thesis is extremely fascinating- looking at cultural constructions of British and American Midwives. ...

Hi! I had a quick question- how much does monthly rent for a 1-2 bedroom apartments go for? Are there any particular areas that you would recommend and those that you would not?

Ha! I didn't know it was already $119. That's ridiculous. Maybe I can apply my AAA discount and get it down to $113.

Yes, at least that is what the receptionist said, but you can definitely call to double check. I'm trying to see this more as a mini vacation, especially since I work as a doula and haven't gone away for over a year due to being on call. The shuttle ...

I just called and reserved a room for $115... a bit expensive but it's also for convenience. On the phone I was given the option for two twin beds. I'll be staying with my boyfriend, but perhaps someone else would want to split it.

I will be there January 29th. Very relieved! Looking forward to meeting those of you who will be there!

Hi Everyone! Been lurking here for a while and this is my first post. I will be applying for the CNM track pretty soon. Just waiting for one more reference from a super busy CNM (I'm nervous that she won't get it in)! I was feeling semi-confident how...
