Hey I'm also attending NEU's DE Program this fall! I'm currently living and working in Boston since I graduated from college in 2006. I'm excited for the program to begin but also not excited about not having an income anymore and living off of stud...
ive had a completely different experience with NEU. they get back to me just as quick as other schools and i found out about my admission in december oddly enough. They must be getting a ton of calls/emails. Also, i think it seems like most people...
I am making the same decision as you. If you go to an MBA program thats ranked in the top 10 compared to one that is not ranked, you WILL MAKE SIGNIFICANTLY more amounts of money and it WILL change your career. An NP is an NP no matter where they g...
Thanks for the input. Since I will be direct entry student, I am avoiding the "fast" programs. One school is boston, for example, would make me an NP in 2 years! I think that is way too soon to feel adequately prepared...
I'm currently living in Boston and would love to stay here. I applied for adult psych specialty (but am very open to acute care). From what I've heard, MGH does not actually have anymore of a connection to the Boston hospitals as NEU (maybe for the...
I'm currently deciding between MGH, Yale, and Northeastern. To be honest, I would like to work as an RN part-time while getting the MSN (something which Yale does not allow for direct entry students); Yale is also very $$$. Both MGH and NEU allow p...
So i've decided to go with the cheaper option. After much research, I feel a fancy university on the resume does not do much for NP's. An NP is an NP...not matter where they go to school (I have heard this from 99.9% of NP's in the field). The pro...
I think its important to understand that nursing school is not the same as undergrad or grad school for say, an MBA or JD. While I agree it is Yale...in the end, you are going to be an NP. NP's are NP's wherever you go. The pay scale for an NP who...
Looks like i too am turning down Columbia bc of money and bc of the fact that going to "ranked" school does not do much for ones career in nursing (as opposed to business or law school). I got a lot of money from Northeastern in Boston so it looks ...
PS- I know for an MBA or JD going to a top ranked school will make a HUGE impact on ones salary. However, I get the feeling this is NOT the way it works for NP's. Is this true? Or could I expect, say, 10-20k more a year as an NP from a "ranked" (...
thank you for all of your input. Bascially im deciding bn the big name, great reputation school, and a smaller, well respected program in Boston. The smaller one offered me a nice scholarship...I estimate the difference in debt is about 35-40k (how...
i came out of a small undergrad college that was 45k a year with only 17k of debt. i am relatively young (25) so becoming an NP before the age of 30 will have its rewards financially. Moreover, I am becoming an NP because it is what I want to do. ...
