   corykatt replied to corykatt's topic in Massachusetts

   Hey de2013, I'm wondering if you have any advice on which profs to take, when there are choices. Seems like many classes there is just one, but sometimes there is a choice. I checked them on rateyourprof, but the ratings were very inconsistent. Ma...

   Hi Ayla, Awesome! I'm taking dev psych too, although its online and I won't yet be in the area. Where are you from in Western MA? Since you're having to take the anatomy class, you'll probably be looking for housing before I will, but I will be ho...

   @Meredith, I'm kinda losing track of who I said what to :-p but I started a yahoo group for discussion for everyone: SimmonsNP2014 is the name just look for it I find yahoo groups generally easy to use and send emails on, but if anyone wants to st...

4. Simmons direct entry NP 2011

   corykatt replied to corykatt's topic in Massachusetts

   Hey, I'm gonna try and start like a facebook group or something, I asked the admissions person to forward my email to accepted students and she did, so now I'm getting emails from other people! I agree it'd be pretty hard to coordinate finding ho...

   corykatt replied to corykatt's topic in Massachusetts

   Thanks for replying! That is very good to know, for some reason from the first line (which is the only one appearing in the email with the link to read it) I somehow got the impression is was going to be negative towards Simmons, so I was extra supe...

   OMG seriously it is coming up so fast! You're not very far from where my parents live, in South Hadley MA, just up from Springfield not far over the border. Maybe when I get there in June we can carpool into Boston to look for housing and such befo...

   Hi Meredith, good to hear from you! I've almost certainly decided that I'm doing it, its too good an opportunity to pass up. What part of CT are you in? I went to CT college in New London. I would also love to get a group together before classes ...

   Hey everyone, I just got accepted to Simmons for their NP program. My application got slowed down, so I think most folks have already been accepted. I found some threads on Simmons, but none of them seemed to be about those accepted into this progr...

9. finding schools - application due dates and prereqs

   corykatt replied to corykatt's topic in Pre-Nursing

   yeah, its amazing what schools won't take certain prereqs that others will, and not just state to state! I def wouldn't intend the list to be an absolute, for all the reasons, but as a jumping off point, it would certainly (and still would be!) have...

10. finding schools - application due dates and prereqs

    corykatt replied to corykatt's topic in Pre-Nursing

    thats a good idea, I have no idea how to go about this stuff tho, my brother liked the idea and said he'd run it by a web developer he knows, so who knows! I don't have the time to do it now of course, but maybe if I ever do it, I can get others to ...

11. finding schools - application due dates and prereqs

    corykatt posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    my friend and I have been going through this arduous process and we joke about making a website with a simple spreadsheet: name of school, link to website, DUE DATE, required prereqs. My god would that have saved hours upon hours of labor! Some sch...

    thank you for sharing your blog! I really love what you wrote about working with the other students, this is exactly the kind of atmosphere I am looking for! In my prereq classes I met two types of people, those who looked at everyone as their comp...

    Hi, wish I'd found this message board last month! Anyway, I have an interview for the psychiatric nurse practitioner program. I was also totally freaked out by the thin letter! Especially since two of my friends had just gotten rejected :-( Anywa...
