Anyone from Regis College?

I was fairly positive they had other specialty options as well - Family, Peds, Acute/Critical Care, Adult/Psych and Nursing leadership/business management for diverse health care systems (just looked them up in the catalog). I know it uses the FNP track in the schedule of classes for all of the semesters, but I was under the impression you had the option after the NCLEX to choose which specialty track you wanted.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone...?

No you're totally right. I think they use FNP track for the first 2 years because you have the option of stopping after your BSN and doing the RN thing, which in that case you should have more of an FNP knowledge vs. a specialty. But definitely during the masters you have a specialty and can pick from any of those you just mentioned.

The first 2 years you are in the FNP track, but there are other programs that get you right into the acute care/critical care right away. I think because it is a BSN program they cater to that a little more than other programs do. That was my only concern. I also would prefer acute care, and the only option they have is acute/critical care clinical specialist. The NP programs they have are Family, Peds, and adult psych.

I have also been accepted to Yale, and still want to hear from Simmons. I am visiting Yale this weekend to make my decision there. I still love Regis' program,a nd it would mean that I dont have to move. I am still up in the air.

Ah I see what you're saying...it's such a hard choice!!! I wish I had some good advice, but I don't know. Congrats on getting in to both Regis and Yale though... that's great! Both of the programs are great too, which I guess doesn't make your decision any easier :/

Keep us updated on what you decide!

Yes, calalilly, good luck! Let us know what you end up deciding =)

I, too, want to go into acute care... but who knows, that could change. You live in Boston? I do too.

I got my letter today...I GOT IN TO REGIS!!! I'm so excited!!! I think I'm going to let it in sink in for a week or so to make sure that I don't want to wait to see if I get into any of the other schools, but there is sooooo much I like about Regis that I like better than the other schools that I am thinking I will probably end up sending in my deposit and what not

I'M SO EXCITED!!! I'm like bouncing off the walls

Ahhh Jennifer that's awesome news!! Congrats!!!

Please let me/us know if you decide on Regis so we can exchange info since we'll be classmates and all...

I sent in my deposit today and signed up for the last 2 prereqs I gotta take - do you have to take any or all you all set?? Congrats again - great feeling, isn't it??

I will definitely let you know my final decision, but it's looking like we will be classmates

Yeah I also have to take 2 prereqs: Ethics and Human Development. Which ones do you have to take?

It does feel AMAZING!

I have to take the same exact ones!! I'm fairly sure I'm taking them at Regis during Summer Session I since they are the cheapest out of the 3 schools I looked at and since I know the credits will transfer. Where are you thinking of taking them ... better yet, where are you from? Haha.

If I end up taking them I will definitely be taking them at Regis. Probably both during the first session. I'm from Stow, MA what about you? I go to school in Saratoga Springs, NY though. I graduate May 16 (on my bday actually ) and then I will start pre-req classes at Regis May 18! I want part of the summer off before the craziness starts, which is why I think I'll take both first session.
