   It IS very stressful, but its such a wonderful problem to have! I have been going back and forth between family care or oncology, which is the main reason why I declined my spot at Northeastern (Still haven't heard from Simmons), I don't want to comm...

   I think im going to go the Accelerated BSN route, planning to apply for programs right when this program is done since most apps are due in March for a fall start. I like the idea of being able to go through the whole nursing program to either reinfo...

6. Advice for getting into nursing school?

   HAPPYstudent17 replied to MaryK11's topic in School Programs

   Hi! I haven't started nursing school yet, but I just got accepted into a DE FNP program as well as an Accelerated BSN. I would say, based on my interview for the DE program and talking to admissions people, they take everything into consideration. Wo...

   I don't think that has much to do with the accepting process, I'm still taking one of the prereqs which is fine as long as the class is done before the program begins. It was just a very competitive process, I spoke to someone at admissions yesterday...

   I'm sorry you didn't get in, your credentials were solid and that is surprising. Did you have a really strong essay? My GPA were similar to yours but backwards, I have a 3.8 for undergrad and a 3.3 for my science prereqs. Did you apply to any other p...

    Has anyone made up their mind about accepting a spot at SSU? I've heard mixed reviews about whether its best to get an ABSN first and then MSN, but I like being able to get RN experience before starting an NP program. I've spoken to a couple of nurse...

    I know, I was doing the math for all three schools today and the prices for NEU and Simmons are unbelievable. Its such a difficult choice to make. I honestly don't know which would be more difficult, but I guess it all depends on how well we do in nu...

    I did, I applied to Northeastern's DE FNP track and Simmons DE program. Still waiting to hear from Simmons, but was accepted into Northeastern. Thinking about prices and good clinical sites makes trying to chose one such a challenge. Such a difficult...
