UMASS Boston RN-BSN Online update

Well I am almost finished the second semester. Things are going pretty well. I am taking Health Assessments and stats for health care professionals. The stats class is horrible! The instructor is very nice, but I just don't understand much past the median and mean. Its like a totally different language!

For those who are looking into this program my advice is to finish ALL of your gen ed stuff (language, humanities, etc) so you only have to take the nursing courses. I am taking Spanish I and II this summer and the price is pretty high compared to what a community college charges. Massasoit charges $330.00 for one language class, while UMass charges close to $1200.00. I have petitioned UMass to allow me to take the classes at Massasoit, but have yet to get a reply. Although the nursing portion of school is not at all challenging to this point, it still consumes way to much time!!!! For those who are thinking about getting an MSN, skip the BSN part if possible and finish it in one shot. School is just so horribly expensive these days!

Will keep ya posted
