I am just obsessing in my free time. Ha ha

I have lots of school work to do. Yet somehow while learning about chemistry, that pesky Yale application creeps into my mind.. lol

I'm taking 5 classes right now, and I have about 4 1/2 more weeks. So when classes end, we'll be hearing about interviews. It's a decent distraction.

Well, you can turn that into productivity! Why don't you find a hobby/volunteer or something to occupy yourself? :)

I've been thinking that. Time to take up crocheting again. My current job continues to drive me insane so looking for a different research gig to hold me over until school starts is also a good hobby. But...we're under a month til we learn if Yale even wants us for interviews. We're getting there!!

Yes - or knitting :-) We are slowly getting closer, and I'm keeping myself busy too (also in a "research gig" but one I can't get out of for the next year.) I am also reviewing some Anatomy and Physiology from a couple of years ago. Nice to know I haven't completely forgotten everything, but pretty rusty.

How many knitters/crocheters are on here? Are you on Ravelry? I love to knit!

Yes! Finally found the Fall 2015 thread! I applied for the GEPN with a PNP specialty. I have not seen many people with that specialty on this thread as of yet...may be a good thing! :) I am so nervous and impatient for an answer! Time CANNOT go any slower! Ahhhhhhhhh!

First time posting here, I applied for the Psych track. I live in New Haven so I've been able to sit in on a class and talk with people about clinical sites and their experiences, so if anyone has New Haven specific questions or anything I may be helpful!

Thanks Divalicious! Good luck to you as well! Time is passing by sooooooo slowly! :***: Hahaha!

What are some of the clinical sites for psych? Do students in the psych program have any complaints about staff turnover affecting their completion timeline (Saw that complaint on older threads)? Do nursing students usually live in New Haven or Orange?

Psychnp2018 · Dec 3, 2014

Psych specific clinical sites I've talked with students about include acute care in the ER at Yale New Haven Hospital, the Yale Child Studies Center, and with private clinicians. As for staff turnover, I'm not sure if you mean in regards to completing the GEPN program or in completing specific clinical placements, but I haven't heard any complaints about staff turnover in general.

I recommend living in New Haven, and haven't heard of students living in Orange. That said, I'm sure some do. Orange is less busy and more residential, so it might work for students with families who are looking for more of a house/yard/residential setting. While the nursing campus is technically in Orange, it is really just its own complex right off the highway. You wont be walking from campus into Orange. Also, many clinical sites are in New Haven. The Yale shuttle runs from New Haven to the nursing campus, but doesn't have stops in the town of Orange. New Haven is a great place to live. Some areas are not as safe, but I live in a great neighborhood on the Yale shuttle route that is walking distance from Yales main campus and from East Rock park, next to lots of cafes/restaurants/bars/live music, and nearly all the neighbors I've met are Yale grad students/employees/professors. I scored to find a spot in this neighborhood for 750 a month (utilities included), you'll end up paying between 600-1200 in this area. Also, there is graduate housing in New Haven, which is beautiful if you go that route. Hope this helps!
