giving up my spot for PMHNP. good luck to everyone! 

Hey, thanks for sharing, especially if it wasn't an easy choice.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really struggling with whether to accept my spot or not. The cost of the program just seems so huge, and I have no idea how I'm going to pay for it.  Doesn't help that I have friends who did Accelerated BSN programs for like 20k, and then worked for institutions that payed for their MSNs.  Had anyone heard about how feasible working during years 2 and 3 is?

I am also curious about working as an RN after the first year! I am looking forward to hearing from current students, but I could also bring this up on admitted student day

A lot of students work during year 2&3. Some in the hospitals as per diem staff, some as advice/triage nurses, school nurses, camp nurses etc. Some specialties are more rigorous than others in the specialty years so the amount may vary. But it's definitely doable. 
There are also more scholarship opportunities for people holding an RN going into NP than there are for non RNs going into NP. So year 2 and 3 may have more scholarship options as well as employment. 
 

I agree the cost is a lot to factor into the decision.

Is there a dress code for admitted students day? I'm not sure whether to dress up or just wear jeans.

No dress code at YSN. There will probably be a range so I'd say wear what you're most comfortable in ?

Hi guys! I got acceptance into YALE MSN PMHNP program. I am so excited. I am a 24 year old female and going to be looking for a roomate that is "off campus" but nearby.

Has anyone thought about the pros/cons of Yale dorms, Yale apartments, or off-campus (non-university) apartments? Never too early to plan.

@ZC KA I am starting to look into it, is there a group for admitted students doing their graduate degrees?

Hi I'm an RN MSN program as well.  Let's form group (facebook or group chat)

There is a facebook group created for new students at YSN. It's called Yale GEPN 2023-2024. Feel free to add yourself even if you're an RN entry. People will post apartment openings and such from current students, and it's a good place to post questions.
