    Hi guys

    I got accepted to mgh fnp...who else?? Pretty overwhelmed with the cost and how it's all going to work out...I heard most people don't work the first year or two of the program?

    I wouldn't say that - plenty of people (first year here) work part time. Some even work 20 hrs. First semester, we had way too much free time, believe it or not. This semester is different.

    What did you do for part time work?

    I did about 20 hrs of consulting work for my old company during winter break, and tomorrow (!) I'm starting a per diem job as a research assistant at MGH, so about 4-8 hrs per week. This semester is considerably tougher than first semester, so I'm going to take it easy on the work.

    A lot of people work part-time as CNAs (many have been CNAs for a few years). A couple people work actively as EMTs.

    By the way, some hospitals let you get a CNA job (MGH calls them 'Patient Care Associates') after completing 1 semester of nursing school.

    Hi Pianoman223, I was recently accepted to the Direct Entry MSN program (FNP specialty). I have a ton of questions for a current Direct Entry student. I tried contacting current students through the Office of Student Affairs, but still haven't heard back from them. I don't have the capabilities to private message you on allnurses.com (haven't posted 15x!), but please let me know if you would be willing to email or chat.

    Thanks so much!
