1. AORN Statement on Resuming Elective Surgery

   LoveThemSox posted a topic in Operating Room

   What are your thoughts on this statement? I read through it after hearing that my hospital is planning to increase the number of surgeries in as little as two weeks. I feel this is waaay too soon considering we still have increasing positive cases in...

2. Are you seeing changes due to Covid?

   LoveThemSox replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

   Our system “says” they are canceling elective surgeries, but they are making excuses for surgeries that can’t wait more than a month. Basically allowing docs to argue in why they “need” to do elective cases now. It makes me so angry that they are not...

3. OR nurse pursing NP

   LoveThemSox replied to scrubulator's topic in Operating Room

   There are quite a few nurses where I work that have gone back to school for NP. I agree with Rose_Queen, anyone who tells you OR nursing isn’t “real” is a waste of space. Everyone who goes back to grad school is going there to learn new things; you’r...

4. Finding Work as a New Grad

   LoveThemSox replied to frible001's topic in Massachusetts

   Where were those when I graduated 4 months ago? Lol All the Winchester postings back then said "no new grads!" Best of luck to you OP. I am working outpatient so I don't have any helpful advice for you, sorry.

6. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

   LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts

   For lexielou22 and anyone else who may be reading/lurking here is the response I got from financial aid, with my comments in parentheses: "[COLOR=#1f497d]We will not be awarding summer students until the first or second week of May. Since you are a ...

7. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

   LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts

   So I tried emailing a few of my questions to the person who has sent out all the info so far. She was nice and helpful to a point. But my financial aid and health insurance questions have to go to those respective departments. I'll keep posting when ...

9. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

   LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts

   So they sent an email today with a ton of helpful info, but still not much in the way of financial aid. I think I'm going to try calling next week. I'm glad to have the textbook info finally though. Also the system wouldn't let me register for classe...

11. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts

    I know this thread's been a little quiet lately, but has anyone heard anything from UMass about financial aid at this point? The usual disclaimer applies: I know there's less aid available, second bachelor's and all. But I'm still anxious to get some...

12. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts

    I believe that NU considers you a graduate student from day 1 of the entire program, so you'll apply for the FAFSA as a graduate student. I would double-check with the financial aid office to be sure. I finally got my call back yesterday. Accepted i...

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts

    Alright....anyone else interview in the last two weeks and not get an acceptance notification yet? Starting to worry over here....

14. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts

    So my interview turned into a phone interview due to the weather yesterday. I think it went pretty well, similar to everyone else it was pretty conversational. I just dislike phone interviews in general, I always feel like I'm not saying enough to re...

15. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts

    @faith2014 I'm going to my interview this Thursday. I hope they don't cancel due to the "wintry mix" that's in the forecast. I just want to get this done
