Northeastern Direct-Entry NP

Published

Hi,

Years ago I met with the director of this program and really loved it. Over the past 2+ years I've been doing the prereqs and volunteering at a hospital. It began to go to the backburner because I felt an accel BSN would be a better choice. Well now that I am ready to apply :yeah: I can't get this program out of my head as being the top choice. SO I'm aiming on the GRE's for Sept to apply for their deadline. Just wanted to see if any students could provide some input on their experience there, and post graduation. I had a NP a few years ago at Harvard Vanguard in Copley who was a graduate and said such great things. I also can see that only Northeastern students get these intern positions at MGH (I'm sure there are internships open to all as well, but I see just Northeastern ones- I'm an employee at Partners). This makes me think they have an advantage... anywho, any feedback would be sooo greatly appreciated!!:redbeathe

Thanks!

I haven't heard anything yet either. Does everyone who has been invited to interview have some kind of clinical experience?

Mellzie - I do home care for elderly patients on the weekends and I STILL haven't heard a word. I'm not exactly sure what the magic equation is to get an interview...

I have 100 hours volunteer, nothing more, and I got an interview so it seems random

the week is still young, so there will definitely be more interview invites being sent out the next few days. best of luck!!

i do clinical research at one of the major hospitals in boston. it will be my second year there this june.

bluskyy - maybe if I don't end up getting in anywhere you can put in a good word for me at your hospital :) must look at the bright side, right?

I'm also in clinical research with shadowing hours at the hospital. I agree bluskyy, the week is definitely still young :)

Hi all, just found this forum. I am also applying for Fall 12, just found out earlier this week I got an interview!! Mine is going to be by phone though, I am assuming because I am out of state??

Anyone have one already yet? How was it? Mine is on Friday.

Totally expected to be in the reject pile by now, but amazingly got a call today for an interview! :) Mine is also over the phone, on Friday afternoon. Good luck to everyone during the interview process! I'm sure we'll all be super nervous.

Congrats seltsi!

Does anyone know if they've actually sent out rejections yet or are they just going to wait until they select everyone to notify? Still no email or phone call... and pretty sure I'll be in that reject pile! Grrr.

gglove317 - same here...

Well mellzie - we can have a virtual drink together... so bummed out and still waiting to hear from 3 others besides NEU. Thinking about some last minute applications to a few ABSN programs with later deadlines, but even those are SUPER competitive.

I've been wait listed at 3 and still need to hear back from 5 including NEU. So frustrating.
