Kewl D asked:


I have my degree in Health Information Management and I am a certified Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA). However, I have decided I would like to go into the Public Health field as I tend to enjoy research moreso than the management aspect of the health care industry. I have decided to go into Public Health with a concentration on Epidemiology in graduate school.

What I would like to know, would my background hinder me in anyway?

Steve asked:


I am considering taking on something in grad school that is a little more well paying than journalism. I want to still freelance write with my degree to still fuel my passion but I am very hesitant to go about an all out career in journalism…

Can I major in anything I want to in a graduate school program or are there certain areas that I will only be able to study with my print journalism undergrad degree (if so what are those areas)

I’m planning to go into college and study physics. How important is a degree from a graduate school for the science field?

I really want to know because I heard if you are planning to go graduate, you should pick a easier undergraduate university. I got accepted to Berkely and Irvine and I don’t know what to do. Thanks!

Graduate school is no longer just “a good idea.” Graduate level of education has become an entry-level requirement for many of the more desirable professional positions. Furthermore, there is a critical shortage of Nigerians with advanced degrees (especially the PhD) who conduct research, publish, or teach about the many issues and agendas that directly impact our lives. Your pursuit of graduate studies could have a direct effect on this urgent shortage. it will definitely give you an edge over others that don’t have

A number of universities and educational organizations in Australia are presenting students with a wide variety of management programs. These programs cover a wide range of topics and issues like management, commerce, marketing and finance.

Millatime asked:


I’m currently pursuing my undergrad in engineering, but I want to go to grad school after I graduate and after a few years of working. My grades right now aren’t the best, I’ve failed a class and dropped one or two, which all shows up on my transcript. Will this prevent me from getting into a good graduate school, even if it is a few years after I finish my undergraduate?

P.S. I want to go to graduate school for astrophysics.

Milos asked:


New York school of practical nursing graduates face competition ever since the number of hospital jobs for LPN’s (licensed practical nurses) declines. Yet, jobs may still be available for LPN’s as rapid employment growth is projected in other health care industries, with the best job opportunities in nursing care facilities and in home health care services.

There are a lot of LPN’s in the US since training in a New York school of practical nursing only lasts about 1-year and the state-approved programs in New York school of practical nursing institutions (mostly in vocational or technical schools) reach to over 1-thousand. It is therefore a good thing that replacement needs will be a major source of job openings as many workers leave the practical nursing occupation permanently. Only about 27% of New York school of practical nursing LPN’s work in hospitals, while 25% in nursing care facilities, 12% in offices of physicians, as the other 36% work for home health care services, employment services, elderly community care facilities, public/private educational services, outpatient care centers, and Federal, State, and local government agencies, with about 1 in 5 LPN’s working part-time.

Although employment of LPNs in the traditional hospital setting is expected to continue to decline, conversely, employment of New York LPNs in home health care facilities is expected to grow at least averagely because of the growing number of aged and disabled persons in need of long-term care, also because of consumer preference for care in the home, and technological advances that make it possible to bring increasingly complex treatments into the home. In addition, New York LPNs in nursing care facilities will be needed to care for the increasing number of patients who have been discharged from the hospital but who have not recovered enough. LPN’s are heavily needed for their workloads at 40-hours/week, round-the-clock care on week nights, weekends, and holidays for the patients’ needs.

Here is a list of some New York School of Practical Nursing institutions: ADELPHI UNIVERSITY-Garden City, COLLEGE OF MOUNT ST.VINCENT-Riverdale, COLLEGE OF NEW ROCHELLE-New Rochelle, COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND-Staten, WAGNER COLLEGE-Staten Island, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY-NY, HUNTER COLLEGE OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK-NY, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY-NY, STATE-UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK-Buffalo, D’YOUVILLE COLLEGE-Buffalo, DAEMEN COLLEGE-Amherst, DOMINICAN COLLEGE-Orangeburg, LEHMAN COLLEGE OF CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK-Bronx, MERCY COLLEGE-Bronx, LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY-C.W. POST CAMPUS-Brookville, MOLLOY COLLEGE-Rockville Center, MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE-Newburgh, NAZARETH COLLEGE OF ROCHESTER-Rochester, ST.JOHN FISHER COLLEGE-Rochester, UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER-Rochester, PACE UNIVERSITY-Pleasantville, SAGE GRADUATE SCHOOL-Troy, STATE-UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK-Binghamton, STATE-UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK-Stonybrook, STATE-UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER AT BROOKLYN-Brooklyn, STATE-UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY-Utica/Rome, STATE-UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK UPSTATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY-Syracuse,

Aspiring LPN’s should also find out about accredited NP/Nurse Practitioner Program lists, NP Primary Care Competencies in Specialty Areas (Adult, Family, Gerontological, Pediatric, and Women’s Health), NP Exam/Review Courses, Practice Doctorate (DNP) Resources, HRSA Bureau of Health Professions Nursing Grants, and information and educational resources on nurse practitioners, or search the AANP-American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Eva Mason asked:


ü       Do you commence with a story?

 ü       Do you begin with a reflection on the focus of your forthcoming graduate studies?

 ü       Do you start at the beginning? And where exactly is that?

 If you want your graduate essay to grab the attention of the graduate admission representative, then keep reading this article…

The graduate admissions committee is looking for a snapshot of you –

ü       Where you’ve been,

ü       Where you want to go, and

ü       what you want to do with the degree

Here are three simple tips to start your graduate essays:

You should start with a concise academic history of about a paragraph in length. Then use up a paragraph talking about the research that you’ve done (or doing at the time). Then talk about why you wished to go to that school and your career goals and how that particular graduate program would help you meet those.

The statement/essay is also where you would tackle any probable problems, such as an undergrad GPA below 3.0 or a misdemeanor conviction, etc. If you don’t have those problems, great. If so, address them.

That is about it really. Your graduate school essay should really just be a summary of your total application…except… you do want to stress how the graduate program fits into your career plans particularly. You will also want to draw attention to the types of research you want to do (or the type of project you want to do for your dissertation/thesis).

When I was helping one of my friends writing graduate admissions essay this year, I divided the graduate essay into 3 parts:

Past, Present, and Future.

In our graduate school, we ask that it be a personal statement, not a story. Basically we ask them to address the following in their statement:

ü       Why a master’s degree?

ü       Why graduate school now?

ü       What about your background has led you to this?

You can still grab the attention of the reader by following these concepts. Try to talk conversationally, the way you wrote your question above. A little humor is OK, and you can certainly add in your accomplishments (although I assume they asked for a resume, and that will highlight those…)
