   If you are only planning to be a RN then it probably is not worth it. I would say it's more worth it for those who plan to go into advanced practice. If you want to be a DNP it's probably the best option out there.

   Just want to add something to the conversation. First off, we have not received financial aid packages yet, so you likely will not be spending the full amount at Columbia. Nevertheless, Columbia will still likely be more expensive. However, I would l...

   Thanks for starting the group lip4x! I can't find it either (probably because its a private group?)

   Hey Nbssr18, I think one of us has to start the group. I have never started a Facebook group and I was trying to but it looks like I would need everyone to send me their email or full name so I could add them. I may be doing this all wrong. Does some...

   Hey everyone! Regarding the question about "why columbia vs. other schools," I would have to say that at this point Columbia is my first choice because it offers not only a MSN (instead of a BSN or Certificate as other programs have) and its a DNP p...

   Fran_15, there is a admitted student day the 11th of March and we have to respond on whether we plan to attend or not by the 14th or March.

   Should we start a admitted students Facebook page? Or would it be best to wait until everyone has decided whether to attend or not? I am 95% sure I will go to Columbia over Yale (not even sure if I got into yale yet) due to the fact that Yale is not...

    The latest we will know is next Monday. I think we will find out sometimes this week. It would be crazy if we found out after monday as they have states multiple times that we will know "by the 15th of February". This wait is killing me!

    As a masters student, you never have to put parent info (as others have said). However, if you are also doing a FASFA for BSN programs, and are under 24, you may need to put parent info. Not totally clear on this point.

    I know this disappointing for everyone! This decision means major life changes for all of us and it's hard to move forward with plans without knowing! I'm probably reading far to much into that email, but it seems like they have not completed making...

    NOT COOL. Who literally just freaked out with the email that came from the school of nursing with "decision" in the title? I thought for a good 15 seconds that they had made decisions! Big let down.
