3. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   sml14 replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   I can't speak to acute care (I am NMW), but the length is something I have thought about. When I asked my program director what she thought some of the main challenges for students are, she said that some do find the fast pace very challenging, thoug...

4. Yale GEPN 2016

   sml14 replied to Bruins_2012's topic in Post Graduate

   I can't speak for other specialties, but I am pretty sure that at least for nurse-midwifery, Vanderbilt and Yale have the same number of semesters in the program. The difference is that Yale does not have a summer term in between year 1 and 2 and thu...

   sml14 replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   For those of you still waiting to hear, students who have already been admitted in the first round have until March 7th to put a deposit down, so I would expect that it may be at least until then before you hear anything so that they have a better ga...

6. Direct Entry 2016: Pros/Cons of UCSF, Yale, UPenn, Vandy, Columbia, OHSU, & SeattleU

   sml14 replied to FutureNPisMe's topic in School Programs

   Ok now that I have heard back from a couple more schools, I think my decision is down to OHSU and Vanderbilt (CNM). Any of you have any insight?? For a long time my first choice has been OHSU, but now that I've been learning more about Vanderbilt and...

   Nevermind, I have the answer to my own question! Got a call this morning that I've been accepted!! Now decision time comes...pretty much deciding between OHSU and Vanderbilt (CNM). Anyone have thoughts on the two?

   Has anyone heard anything yet? Seems it should be this week right?

9. Yale GEPN 2016

   sml14 replied to Bruins_2012's topic in Post Graduate

   I think you may have done the math wrong 6*18,414 = 110,484 + 14642 = 125,126 I don't know what Columbia costs, but yes that is WAY cheaper than Penn, which is insanely expensive. That's more than in-state tuition for UCSF, but comparable to Vandy ...

    sml14 replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

    Yes I'm pretty sure the full scholarship is different. Everyone was offered a partial scholarship in the amount of $3000-11,500, but no one has heard about full scholarships yet. So I assume if you are offered the full scholarship then that would tak...

    sml14 replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

    So the wording on the website was changed recently, though I am still not totally clear how many of the 3 first-year scholarships are for pre-specialty vs direct-entry students. Here's what it says: "The School of Nursing offers 6 full tuition schol...

    sml14 replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

    I emailed them about it when I received my acceptance letter and was told that they will notify eligible candidates in "3-4 weeks" (this was 11 days ago). Didn't say whether or not there is an essay or what qualifies as "eligible". Would be great to ...

13. UCSF MEPN 2016

    sml14 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

    Didn't get in either :/ To those of you who didn't get in but had your hearts set on UCSF, pretty much everyone I've talked to who has gone there has said they had to apply more than once. I have heard this more so for UCSF than other programs, so ev...

14. UCSF MEPN 2016

    sml14 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

    I agree - even though I know a lot of people do phone interviews (and get in), 4 days is still not much time. They seem to have totally dropped the ball in communicating with me. I applied because I wanted it as a backup in case I didn't get in elsew...

    For anyone trying to decide between programs, check out this thread that someone else started. It's great to hear people's thoughts on various programs, as I'm sure many of us have applied to the same ones! https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-school...
