  1. Advise wanted. Considering 2nd career as NP

    atki replied to elmtree's topic in Advanced Practice

    My situation was very similar to yours - I have a MSW and worked for years as a social worker, I was 32 when I started going back to school to complete prerequisites and 35 when I started nursing...

  2. Change in Path- Cal State LA Direct Entry

    atki replied to ianoel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't tell you much about the outcome because I'm currently in the thick of it. My background is fairly similar to yours though. I have a MSW and worked in the field of social services for about...

  3. Any Moms doing a direct entry NP Program?

    atki replied to longwayup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm almost one year into a direct entry program and I have two young kids. It's rough at times, but doable. What's been a huge help for me is having a partner with a somewhat flexible schedule...

  4. Seattle U or Mass Gen IHP (Boston)

    atki replied to Oregonian89's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm just finishing up my third quarter here and every quarter has been challenging in different ways. The good news is that you're with some incredible people and you will find yourselves helping...

  5. Seattle U or Mass Gen IHP (Boston)

    atki replied to Oregonian89's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats! That's a great spot to be in. Seattle U and MGHIHP were two of the schools that I chose between last year. Ultimately I chose Seattle U but I had some additional factors that pushed me in...

  6. Seattle University APNI 2016 Applicants

    atki replied to historybe's topic in Post Graduate Students

    @husky2k16 If all goes according to plan, there should be at least one faculty member and one current student in the interview. There may be an additional current student or faculty member, but there...

  7. Make the call to CPS

    atki replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    I'm not a nurse (I'm currently in nursing school) but I did work for CPS for a couple years and can answer any questions that you might have. I'm not sure what the CPS issue is in this case since...

  8. Midwifery

    atki replied to apenze's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm a current student in the Seattle U program direct entry program, although I'm in a different track so I can't answer specifics about the midwifery program. There's a great Facebook page, though,...

  9. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm only going into my second quarter of the program so I don't know if things will change in upcoming quarters, but it seems like generally we have classes on Monday and Friday and we'll have...

  10. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't think that you're screwed at all! Your stats look great! It's probably in your best interest to get the micro or an A and P class done next so you can show them how well you can do in "hard"...

  11. MGH IHP Direct Entry NP 2015

    atki replied to snoozyd's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I declined my FNP

  12. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    Ha, ha! I drove myself and everyone around me crazy too as I tried to sort out the best option for me and my family. I've officially turned down all other offers so there's no looking back

  13. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    @may25 so are leaning towards PLU? I'm interested to hear what your final decision is! Best of

  14. Yale 2015

    atki replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I asked this during my interview and the interviewer said most nursing students live in New

  15. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    I would call because I think there's going to be a lot of movement in the next couple of weeks. Many acceptances just went out and they have 14 days from the time they receive their offer letter to...

  16. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    It did change. It said "decision available" on one page and on another it said something like "grad admission provisional.". It didn't change until I got the email from graduate admissions

  17. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yay! Keep the good news rolling

  18. Seattle University APNI 2015

    Congrats to those who were admitted! I was wait listed but I'm going to be ask to be taken off of it and I'm accepting another offer. Best of luck to you

  20. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    Right now it's 678 per credit so less than 80,000 for the whole program (around 115 credits). With books, fees, and other required supplies they estimate that it's around

  21. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    @may25 I'm really hoping that they're over estimating that time frame because that's crazy. They will no doubt loose some really good applicants if they end up making people wait that long for a...

  22. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    It's hard because it's such a personal decision and what's important to me may not be important to you. I have kids so the cost and quality of childcare was a large factor as was my husband's ability...

  23. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    Well, after a great deal of soul searching and number crunching I'm 99% sure that I'm accepting my FNP offer at Seattle U. I've heard back from every school except Yale but unless they offer me some...

  24. Seattle University APNI 2015

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    @may25 I used the videos on the education portal website. They're geared towards the clep test and I found them really helpful. The only problem is that they used to be free but now you have to

    atki replied to May25's topic in Washington Nursing

    I took the CLEP. I studied on the own for a couple weeks and then took it...and passed.
