2. Boston Direct Entry Program - Calling All Applicants!

   dgolden replied to choco80's topic in Massachusetts

   Hi Jessram! Oddly enough, I just graduated from BU, was a health science major myself with a nearly identical GPA and got into my top choice Nursing school (Regis College) so based simply on that, I think your chances are great!! My program really ap...

3. $50,000 for post-Bachelor BSN!

   dgolden replied to weirhead69's topic in Pre-Nursing

   while I agree that the ADN may be more cost effective ( and don't get me wrong- they have incredible programs and make wonderful RNs), You should probably research around the hospitals near you and the future places you hope to search for a job. Many...

   My suggestion would be to write them a letter of things you wish they would include about you, or give them a resume and physically highlight the lines you hope they address. Beforehand, I would try to meet with them after class/during office hours a...

7. Anatomy & Physiology (1 and 2) + Microbiology = SUMMER

   dgolden replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Nurse-Mode-On, I have to agree with the others...Take it slower with these pre-reqs!!! I would NOT recommend taking A&P 1, and 2 and Micro in the same summer, because all 3 are so important to nursing, are large amounts of memorization and re...

8. tips for nursing school interview? anyone?

   dgolden replied to northmississippi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The best advice I got was to be honest and sincere. They can tell if you are not being yourself, or saying things you think they would want to hear. I agree with the posts above that you should be prepared for those questions. I like the dress idea a...

    Hi all! I am starting nursing school this upcoming fall, and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for books that would teach me how to answer nursing/nclex exam type questions. I am coming from a science background, and much of my test takin...

14. My situtation (adn vs. bsn)

    dgolden replied to havehope's topic in General Students

    I think you should apply to ALL programs that interest you! Nursing school is very competitive these days, and having a nice list of schools is always helpful. Go to many different open houses or sessions if available and see which program appeals to...

15. Microbiology help?

    dgolden replied to RHIA, RN's topic in General Students

    I think if you got through Chem, you will find micro easier and (believe it or not) more fun! I didnt necessarily found the two subjects relatable, but micro definitely had more memorization, but most people in my class (including myself) found it fa...
