Applications are IN!!

Wow we have similar experiences! I left my full time DD managment position to take prereqs at MassBay and work part time at MGH. I've only applied to Curry College so far, but can't wait to hear back

Good luck!

Oh, that's awesome! I love meeting people with similar experiences! What setting in DD Services were you in -- residential/day? I'm in day, and I am in love with this population. They're so special.

I volunteer at MGH! in the ED! I also did the book cart for over a year, usually the Blake & Ellison floors 12-6 route! :heartbeat

Great to meet you! GOOD LUCK with Curry!! I hope you hear good news soon!

I worked in residential with individuals with Downs and Alzheimer's. It's what got me interested in nursing.

I'm only at MGH one day a week, but we might run into each other at MassBay! I'm ready to be done with prereqs, but if I don't get in to Curry I'll be taking more so I can apply to other schools.

Hehe, I wonder if you're in my A&P class...!!

Does Curry ask for less prereqs..?

I've been looking at Regis online today, but I'd probably have to delay starting the actual nursing program by a year (which I reeeaally don't want to do) to do extra prereqs. Guh!

I've worked residential and love it, and we have a couple of guys here with Down's... I adore them.

Nope, I took AP last summer. I'm only taking statistics now.

Curry requires: AP 1 and 2, Chem 1, Micro, Statistic, and Human Growth and Development. They don't have a time limit on the courses and don't require reccomendations.

I was only able to apply there because other schools won't accept my old prereqs or want more chemistry courses.

Hello all! Just a quick question.

What school year are you applying for. Is it Spring or Fall 2012? or is it 2013??

Thx!

I went to Simmons. Great school! :)

I went to Simmons. Great school! :)

Yeah, definitely my first choice... aahhhh, want it so much!!!!

I'm applying for Spring 2012. If I don't get in, I'll be applying to other schools that start Summer or Fall 2012.

Hi PediLove 2147!

I would appreciate if you could tell more of how you liked Simmons and the program in general, I got accepted and I should start July 2011

Thanks :)

Hey LGD2011 and CiaMia!

It seems guys that we might have met before somehow, because I took my API and II over the summer 2010, and I am curently volunteering at MGH at the ED the only exception is that I didn't work at DD..

@Cia Mia,did you hear back from Simmons, you should by now if you applied by the priority date which January 1, 2011..Good luck if you are still waiting :)

Thanks for your prompt reply! sorry I had to post instead as I am new to the forum and still unable to send messages yet but what you said is true, I've heard good things about the school, can't wait to start..

Thanks again
