1. New grad NP job offer- questions

   AMagoo923 replied to AMagoo923's topic in NP

   Thank you all so much! My professors also brought up the perspective that starting out in a slower clinic would be a good idea for the same reasons you both pointed out. I did reach out the owner of the practice and let him know I was interested and...

2. New grad NP job offer- questions

   AMagoo923 replied to AMagoo923's topic in NP

   Thank you! I agree. I did my program in Boston as well and am committed to living here for a few years at least (just bought a home and husband's job is here) and I know how saturated the market is for new grad NPs. I imagine I may have a hard time g...

3. New grad NP job offer- questions

   AMagoo923 posted a topic in NP

   Hi everyone! I'm located in MA and just finished up a FNP program and will be graduating this month. I have started to applying to jobs and had 1 interview that resulted in a job offer this week, and as selfish as this may sound for a new grad (since...

4. MGH Direct NP program 2016

   AMagoo923 replied to Jersey1314's topic in Massachusetts

   I didn't apply to Simmons but I am currently a second year at the IHP, and clinicals are at MGH for both Med-Surg rotations and a number of sites for Psych, Community, and Peds/Maternity. I had 4/6 at MGH but others got a variety of placements at oth...

5. MGH IHP Direct Entry NP 2015

   AMagoo923 replied to snoozyd's topic in Massachusetts

   The BSN isn't awarded until the end of the program but you can sit for the NCLEX after the second Fall semester term, so about roughly halfway through the program, and work as an RN. Alumni and students have spoken that are already in the NP portion ...

6. MGH IHP Direct Entry NP 2015

   AMagoo923 replied to snoozyd's topic in Massachusetts

   No problem! I applied to MGH and Regis since I wanted to stay local to the Boston area and got into both. I was considering BC, but I really wanted to have both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and since BC doesn't offer a bachelor's, I didn't app...

   AMagoo923 replied to snoozyd's topic in Massachusetts

   BlackSkimmer- I've really enjoyed the program so far. My clinical instructors last semester were really helpful and knowledgeable and I felt like I got a lot of hands on experience in my clinicals. Med/Surg rotations are all at MGH and other rotation...

   AMagoo923 replied to snoozyd's topic in Massachusetts

   Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in here and wish everyone good luck! I was in your shoes last year at this time, so I know the waiting to hear a decision is the worst part of the process. I'm currently in the first year of MGH's NP program class and ...

   AMagoo923 replied to Lauren_M's topic in Massachusetts

   I'll echo dhart that continue working hard is the best advice! The people that make up many of the direct entry MSN programs come from a variety of backgrounds, majors, gpas, etc. Just work on making your application the strongest way you can present...

    Awesome breakdown! I did something similar for the Family NP track and I don't have the spreadsheet in front of me since I'm at work but the numbers look good to me.

    AMagoo923 replied to kerris73's topic in Massachusetts

    sarahd12- I was accepted into Regis & MGH as well. I went back and forth between the two, but I think I'm leaning towards MGH at this point based on things I've heard from people that know the program well. I need to decide soon since my Regis de...

    Just got accepted into the FNP track! I was really hoping for a scholarship offer since I already have student loans from my undergrad but I didn't see anything mentioned in my link. @evgeniya- Did they mention the scholarship within the online acce...
