   jlnp7 replied to careerchanger22's topic in Massachusetts

   goberun83 - I just decided to attend Simmons, after strongly considering another well-respected program in Boston. I didn't have much of an opportunity to speak with current students/graduates, so I'd love your input. Have you been happy so far with...

   Juliewoo - it sounds from previous posts as though you are pretty happy with your experience thus far at MGH, although very busy! Has the program met your expectations thus far?

5. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

   jlnp7 replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts

   Juliewoo- Have you found that most MGH students are receiving strong clinical placements? It sounds like you've been primarily at MGH - is there a lot of variation in the quality of sites, or is that something that may not apply to the first year RN...

   jlnp7 replied to akp73's topic in Massachusetts

   I'm trying to assess both programs myself, and decide by next week. Lucy121, have you been able to find out much about the two programs (Simmons, MGH) relative to one another? Have you decided where you are going? Thanks!

   I emailed Simmons, and I was told that my letter was mailed on 3/22. They didn't include anything else in the email, so maybe I'll find out today. Other posters mentioned already receiving their letters - at least one accepted person received it th...

9. Looking into direct entry MSN programs. I need help with thoughts and chances

   jlnp7 replied to beaconshome's topic in Post Graduate

   I have taken all my pre-reqs at Quincy College. I would recommend them based on their flexible schedules and the price. Some classes are stronger than others, but that's the case with every school, I think. Good luck!

10. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    jlnp7 replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts

    Do you have to get certified - I know there are CNA programs - or is the first-year curriculum enough to prepare you for that position? I don't know too much about the CNA role/responsibilities. On a different subject, I was wondering how people vie...

    jlnp7 replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts

    Hi, I received an acceptance letter today as well. Very exciting! Was wondering how MGH first-year students typically spend their summers, given that they don't have an RN yet. Thanks! JL

    Hi, It sounds like you are in a similar situation to me - two teenagers, married, live on the South Shore. I am hoping to start a direct entry NP program Fall 2010, but thought BC might be too intense given the two-year time-frame and juggling famil...
