MGH IHP DE NP 2019

Published

I didn't see a thread for this year's IHP direct-entry NP applicants, so figured I'd create one. Anyone else applying this cycle?

Is anyone deciding between Northeastern and MGH IHP? I can't decide..

Hey! I've been waiting for Northeastern forever, and honestly I'm ready to commit to MGH. What convinces me more is that 1. I have a placement. At NEU, they tell you that you need to find your own placement/ preceptor, which is too much pressure for a newly made RN...

Hi Guys! I emailed admissions because I have not heard anything yet. Do you think this means I was not accepted or have other people not heard back yet either?

Are you on their waitlist? I gave up my spot at Northeastern. They also required a deposit by the end of February. I was excited to be accepted there, but then got so disappointed.

It was hard to get in touch with anyone from their admission’s office, director of the program or assistants. I called, left voicemails, came to the campus with no luck. I guess they are way too busy. Overall, I thought it was not a good start. Then I read reviews about administrative mess there. So it was an easy decision for me.

Looks like MGH IHP is so different. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. The program is quite challenging, but they do provide a good training. I want to be prepared after I graduate.

Thanks for sharing! Can I ask where you read that Northeastern has an administrative mess? I've been looking for reviews on the program but have been unable to find any. :(

Hey! That's interesting, I don't know why I thought NEU finds your clinical placements for you. Did a faculty member or student tell you this? Thanks!

Hi! I just read that in their website that you need to find placement “as part of real life experiences of finding a job”! It’s more like, hello we are soon to be nurses so like can you help us find the job and preceptor?!

It's my understanding that Northeastern will assign your clinical placements within the program, but you are responsible for finding your own position as an RN for your co-op after the pre-licensure portion of the program.

https://bouve.northeastern.edu/nursing/programs/direct-entry-nursing-ms/ has the structure of the program and the quote about finding your own placement, while the nursing preceptor manual (https://bouve.northeastern.edu/assets/uploads/sites/2/2014/07/nursing_preceptor_manual.pdf) seems indicate that the program is responsible for placing you into the positions.

Does anyone know if we are supposed to receive any official physical correspondence after putting down our deposits? I have not heard anything yet. What are the next steps?

I don’t think anyone has heard yet about the next steps unless you needed to turn in additional transcripts for your conditions of admissions. Everything, as far as I’ve heard, will be communicated via email.

I am thinking of emailing them just to double check though as I’d like to get started on the next steps as well.
