I asked this during my interview and the interviewer said most nursing students live in New Haven

I have a couple of friends down there who said (and I noticed this while visiting as well) that Orange is mostly suburban with very few apartments to rent. Things are spaced out and there's a lot of shopping centers and chain stores around. Most students live in New Haven, specifically within the East Rock and Wooster Square neighborhoods. It's very close to the old campus and there is a shuttle that runs from those neighborhoods to the School of Nursing in Orange. From East Rock to YSN, it's a 15 minute drive.

MP said that she would send one out when everyone officially accepts or declines.

@yhr13 Hi, I'm applied but was not offered a position for the midwifery program. Would you been willing to share a bit of your background? And why you selected Yale? Thanks very much and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi BriAllene, I don't mind sharing.... I got a B.A. in Biology from a liberal arts college and studied mainly oceanography/environmental science. I was an EMT through college, then worked in Yosemite for a season post-graduation. I also worked as a medical assistant in Nicaragua and a midwifery apprentice in Oregon. I applied to Penn, Vanderbilt, Yale and OHSU's midwifery programs. I was admitted to 2 and waitlisted at the others, and my decision really came down to finances and gut feeling about where I would be happier. My path to midwifery was pretty circuitous, but I tried to communicate my passion for women's health in my essay and interview. I think maybe having EMT and birth experience helped me, but I don't know for sure why I was accepted!

Any RN applicants heard back about an interview yet?

What specialty did you apply for? I had my interview this morning for the PMHNP specialty.

hakhama, No word yet :-\ Did you apply for FNP too? I hope we hear something soon. Congrats on having completed your interview, Jroberts! How did it go?!

Jroberts7786 · Mar 9, 2015

Thanks Julia (My name is also Julia) ! I think it went well but we'll see! I'm sure you'll hear something soon especially since we're supposed to find out about admissions around April 1st. Good luck!

Oh wow. I applied for PMHNP. I guess I didn't get an interview as I haven't heard yet! JRoberts, do you mind sharing how long ago you were invited to interview?

I also had my interview this morning for FNP specialty (just got the invite last week). It was kind of a tough interview for sure. They must do their RN-MSN interviews very differently , since it was definitely nothing like the conversational style that the GEPN interviewees wrote about. I honestly have no idea how I did- eek! Does anyone know when RN decisions are coming out?
