Hi everyone! This thread is for people applying to MGH Institute's Direct-Entry Master of Science in Nursing (DEN) program for Fall 2023 start. Wanted to start this topic since I hadn't seen one yet. Good luck everyone!

Another question- anyone know if you can work as an RN during the last two years of the program? 

I know someone in the program who is working as a RN during the first 2 semesters of the master's portion and said it is pretty typical for students to do that, at least part-time. She mentioned that she did not work the first year but some people did. I am not sure about the final year.

I saw online that NPs will be required to have doctorates by 2025 - is anyone concerned about this or know if there is some sort of grandfather clause?

That is definitely a question to ask the school but typically when requirements regarding education/licensure change there is a grandfather clause

I’m assuming some sort of grandfather clause as many other direct entry programs are still MSN as well. MGH does have a pretty flexible DNP program for APRNs, but it’s another 16 months ?

Was she still a full-time student in addition to working as an RN? I hear a ton of mixed reviews about landing your first NP job without RN experience.

Hi guys!!

 

I was notified that I got into the MGH IHP DE NP Program starting next fall in the adult gerontology acute care track, so I decided to create a facebook group in order to connect with other fellow future classmates that were also accepted into the program. Here’s the link to join?????? https://www.facebook.com/groups/3451103255122898/?ref=share_group_link

Does anyone know if we have to fill out the FAFSA prior to making a decision?

I believe FASFA can be filed out up until June but I would not wait that long.

The sooner the better but it does not have to be filled out prior to making a decision

has anyone put there deposit down? I have read some reviews about the program/school being disorganized and am a little concerned about that.

Does anyone know anyone in the program?

Hi! I have not, but I am planning to enroll unless I get into Yale with a larger scholarship. I have heard some rumblings of disorganization, but I've heard that about UMass and even Yale. I know 2 people currently in the program and they have really enjoyed it and said nothing but positive things about the first year (professors, structure, and fellow students). I think some disorganization may come in the specialty years?
