2009 Direct Entry MSN at MGHIHP

To address a couple of things mentioned:
I had heard a rumor that people in specialty tracks like ANP don't get to do a peds rotation. I asked a faculty member (the coordinator of ANP) at the Open House if during the first half of the program students' specialty tracks affect their clinical rotations, and she said no - everybody does everything. I wouldn't worry about not getting enough varied clinical experiences... I think that is misinformation, at least from the info I got at the Open House.

As for Science Summer, if you only have to take nutrition, for goodness sakes keep your job! That is an on-line course. You'll be able to do the whole thing at night or on the weekends. What they said was not if you have to take one class, quit your job. They said if you have to take ALL that classes, quit your job.

I agree that the faculty seemed very impressive. I mean, a lot of faculty at other schools have impressive resumes, but no other faculty that I've encountered has been as approachable and down-to-earth, and also seemed to work so well together, as at MGH. A lot of schools say that you will get lots of personal attention and mentoring, but at MGH I actually buy that.
