MGH Direct Entry MSN 2013

Published

Hey everyone, the application for was due yesterday, whew! I almost forgot about it.

Did anyone else apply? When can we expect to hear back?

My friend who just finished her FNP program told me that FNP has more options when it comes to finding a job later on (if that matters). I think it is true because being an FNP allows you to work in pediatrics too. But other than that, I really don't think there's any difference. It all comes down to, do you like working with kids? LOL if not, ANP would be great. I volunteer in a hospital and a lot of NP's that work on my floor are ANPs and when I asked them why they chose ANP, most of them say they don't like working with kids. They do the same thing as FNP (work with doctors, prescribe medication, do rounds, work with RN), just differ in the age group of patients they work with.

But, I do think that you should first speak to them before deciding. See what position you are on the waitlist and then go from there.

Did you know that when you finish the program at MGH, you also get a Bachelor's in Nursing as well as a Master's? Boston College only provides the Master's upon graduation.
