  1. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    During my MDE year, there were students still getting immunizations and requirements completed during the first week of classes. So I’m sure you’ll get plenty of flexibility considering the...

  2. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    My comment wasn’t meant to be condescending. I was genuinely asking you what that commenter thought warranted a reduction in tuition, and she answered, saying that she would be bummed if there...

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    Why would they reduce tuition? Are you expecting your professors won’t be lecturing online? Are you expecting they won’t answer your questions and clarify things for you? A zoom/online classroom...

    I would say that from what I’ve heard from my coworkers, none of them learned to start IV’s or do blood draws in school. It’s just not something most nursing schools do anymore. That said, even...

  5. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    I mean, that first Summer is full. Very full. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can relax those first few weekends. You should start prepping for exams from day 1 because once they start,...

  6. Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    Just know that your clinical day is a full day, and your skills lab day ends up being almost a full day also because you have sim, skills lab and physical assessment lab. So basically, first Summer,...

    I’m not sure if you’ll be hearing back in the next couple weeks or not. Much of the campus is shut down due to

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    As someone who owns a car, I would say that you won’t need it day to day. However, I rented a car over 4th of July weekend last year, and with insurance, it cost me nearly $500. It was convenient to...

    I would say that probably 25% of people who live in student housing have a pet. Cats are easy for sure. Dogs are a little tougher. I would say having a dog in Bard would be difficult, but it is...

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    Campus housing is definitely the most bang for your buck if you can get into the towers. I haven’t heard amazing things about Bard Hall, but it’s cheap, so that’s a plus. If you do not already...

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    I am an MDE graduate, but I do not work at NYP. I know that they do hire new grads, but I’m sure it’s easier to get a position if you make connections with a manager during clinical or integration...

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    I would say that most people will have no issue getting a job with an MSN instead of a BSN. Managers think it’s odd, but it doesn’t affect your job prospects really (at least not here). Starting...

    Yes generally they do this within the first few days after sending

    The school will most likely create the fb group for you all to get to know one another and current

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    I would say that working during the first summer would be extremely hard on your mental health more than anything else. I don’t know anyone who did more than a few hours a week. You’ll have exams...

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    I would say they try to make every cohort as diverse as possible in several ways. We all came from a variety of backgrounds. Many were fresh out of undergrad. Others were decades into their careers. I...

    aksea replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi All, I went through Columbia’s MDE program last year and thought I would chime in. You graduate with your MSN and can sit for the NCLEX to become an RN. You are not an advanced practice provider...

    Last year, decisions came out in the morning. I remember waking up on the west coast, and my decision had already been

  22. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    aksea replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    I completed mine, and yes, you do the both in the same session. You only have one chance to get the video right this year, and one chance on the timed writing as well! Best of luck everyone! With my...

  23. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    aksea replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    That's a harder question to answer. I don't think you HAVE to have straight A's. I've heard of people getting in with GPA's closer to a 3.0 than a 4.0. Although you must earn a B or better in all...

  24. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    aksea replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    Don't worry too much about outstanding pre-reqs. You can submit your Fall transcripts in December once you finish your courses. Many applicants will have 2-3 outstanding classes, so you'll be in the...

  25. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    aksea replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    I am re-applying this year after being accepted last year. While I only applied for the MDE portion previously, I have decided to apply for the MDE/DNP in Pediatrics this time around. I feel so much...
