4. MGH Direct Entry MSN 2013

   choco80 replied to steve21021's topic in Massachusetts

   Hi hb3an- Perhaps they have changed the "change" policy in the past couple of years, or perhaps they are saying that just because they know they cannot make any promises (they made that pretty clear as well - I believe they said that adult/gero peopl...

   I applied FNP and haven't heard anything yet. To everyone who was waitilisted and offered a spot in the adult/gero track - all hope is not lost if you are committed to doing FNP. At the admitted students session a couple of years ago there were sev...

   choco80 replied to steve21021's topic in Massachusetts

   Thanks, SingDana! Sorry you had to miss the admitted students day, but there will be several events during orientation where you'll have the chance to meet everyone! As for the Northeastern student's comment, I've actually had the opposite experien...

10. Acceptance Letters? MGH Direct-Entry Master's in Nursing

    choco80 replied to danadana's topic in Massachusetts

    Hi Johanne - unfortunately, I don't remember how many psych people raised their hands. What I do remember about that part was that a lot of people raised their hands for peds and women's health. I was actually surprised that not that many people ra...

11. Acceptance Letters? MGH Direct-Entry Master's in Nursing

    choco80 replied to danadana's topic in Massachusetts

    Hi there - no, I didn't hear anything about peds, although it seemed like there were quite a few peds people at the accepted students day (they had use raise our hands for each specialty). That may not mean much, however.

    choco80 replied to Rhilogan's topic in General Nursing

    I realize this is an older thread, but I will be entering a direct-entry program (I already have a doctorate in another field - law) and am interested in entering academia, perhaps in teaching ethics/policy related courses at a nursing school. I was...
