Hi, I was wondering if anyone has applied to the MGHIHP new Accelerated BSN program? If so, what do you think your chances are of being accepted?

I should have been clearer about MGHIHP - the timing that I am talking about is for Direct Entry for Fall 08. The deadline for applications is January 15??? and I was told they would have decisions for admission around the first week in March. This is the program for non-nurses with a Bachelor's degree to get an RN and then an MSN in 3 years.

Sorry for any confusion!

So I definately am not going to MGH IHP bc I jsut found out I was accepted at BC for their program! Yay! I love everyone w.whom I spoke to at BC; it just seems like such a cohesive and supportive environment, which I need for such an intense program.

I think I'll probably work on my masters part time after I get my RN (after only 11 mo!) so I can make some money and not take out as many student loans:)

Good luck all!

Congrats Kate, That sounds like a wonderful program! Best of luck. Has anyone else heard about the evening and weekend schedule? I personally have not, but would like to know if its true. I feel like i'm going into this blindly. I have no idea what the schedule will be like.:uhoh3:

Hi all,

I'm not in the Accelerated BSN program. I just finished the RN-MSN program at IHP. Most of the student body consists of Direct Entry MSN students..and the consensus was that the RN portion was the best part the IHP program..so good luck and happy studying!

Hey guys!

I got accepted to MGH for the BSN program as well. I got my letter only last week, well, maybe almost two weeks ago. I was totally shocked, as i thought that i for sure didnt get in. A girl in one of my pre recs got an acceptance letter in DEC, and i hadnt gotten anything as of yet. BUT, low and behold, i will be there too.

I am really excited, but worried about money as well. The way i look at it is that i might have to double my debt from undergrad, but nursing is an investment, as we will all be doing so well when we get out of school!

Congrats to you guys too!! Are you all from the boston area?

Hi Colljt,

Congratulations on being accepted, I bet you are super excited! I am worried about the cost but I figure when you already owe $20,000 in student loans, what's another $50,000, right?? LOL.. I am from the Boston area and will also be attending MGHIHP. I don't think its weird that you didn't get a phone call, I'm thinking you are apart of the lucky second round of acceptance letters that were sent out.

But either way the admission staff thought you were a great student to add to the first BSN class! So Welcome!!
