    Thank you for sharing the information! I've been checking their website, but nothing has been updated since 2018. Do you know where to access the nurse residency application when it's

  4. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    That's right. Columbia recently announced that they will be scrapping the residency program because people could not find jobs in time and employers are not going to pay you a full salary if they know...

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    These are great points. Also, you won't take the NCLEX when classes are in session. Most of the students study during their 3 week furlough after graduation in May, study throughout the short summer...

    It can be difficult to understand the program unless you start, but the main problem is time. I have overheard classmates complain that most of our time is spent turning in numerous, meaningless...

    They probably won't know because the official scores aren't on the web yet. But it is definitely not that high. There are some community colleges with nursing programs that have higher pass

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    The pass rate last year was NOT 92%. My classmates were told by their advisors that it was a low ~80% - why the school is hammering this year's cohort with NCLEX

    I cannot tell you how much I HIGHLY recommend visiting the school. You will want to know about any upcoming changes to the programs, meet your peers, and get a sense if you want to come

    Current student here. It is really not competitive to get into Columbia because they over accept applicants. I would say, you're over qualified and will do well

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    I highly recommend you visit all the schools you got into and visit Columbia too. Talk to the students, get a feel of the environment, ask questions, and see what you

    I am not familiar with Midwifery but I do know a few students who have applied to post-MSN programs after the MDE ends. This is very common. Students in the previous cohorts have applied and been...

    I also want to emphasize to confirm with Columbia/Financial Aid about the DNP residency. Our cohort was repeatedly promised that the residency is fully paid and that we are paying 10 credits total for...

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    The financial aid director made it clear to our cohort last year that there is no need-based aid during the last summer semester of the MDE program. It is applied for Fall and Spring semesters. This...

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, this may be my mistake. I don't recall whether the financial aid was merit or need-based but the TOTAL scholarship each person could have gotten was 27k... 51k would have been better

  18. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    You would have to ask the financial aid office because the aid varies every year. They told us that the max amount of need-based aid was 27k last

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    Most of the MDE graduates don't continue into the DNP and they work as RNs for 1-3 years before returning back to NP school. It really depends on what you want to do. Some people fall in love with...

    Absolutely. No nursing school is perfect, but you should know the truth about the good and bad, especially when you're committing to a >100k tuition. We all wish we did our research better ? Though...

    The max last year was $27k. That's...awful. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about

  22. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    I didn't know that. How much is the merit scholarship this year? If that is true, that's awful because tuition also goes up 3% every year. We were told that our merit scholarships comes from funding...

    The flat-rate tuition took effect for the 2018 cohort, so the 2019 cohort to feel this change. Here is the cost of attendance for 2018-2019. Hope this helps! Tuition $82,234 CUMC Network Fee $585...

    The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    The flat-rate tuition doesn't affect the first 3 semesters of the MDE. But it takes affect the last MDE and DNP semesters, as you will be taking fewer credits. But essentially, the change to flat-rate...
