Hi everyone! I have found threads for all of the direct entry programs that I am applying to except for Northeastern, so I wanted to get one started! I have received an email stating that my application has been received, but so far that is all I have heard. I'm looking forward to talking to some of you! I am finishing up my undergraduate degree with a major in health sciences and my undergraduate GPA is a 3.95. My GRE scores are decent, but I have limited experience in the field, short of some volunteering, so I am afraid that will hurt me. I would love to hear your stats and experiences!
I was told that after the first year and passing the NCLEX I could complete the RN experience out of state and that the MSN portion could be done out of state as well. However, I am a little confused on how clinicals would be completed out of state during the second and third year? Anyone have any advice?

Hi! I have talked in depth with them about this, because I am planning on doing the same. For the NP portion of the program it is actually easier to get clinical placements outside of boston because it is so over saturated in boston for NPs. They work with you to find clinical placements. I plan to go to NH for that portion, so they said they would work with me to see who they know/trust in the area and will help me find a place and from what i understand they make the initial contact and I kind of just show up as a student in clinical. Since the classes are online, you are able to stay in your home state to do everything. Does that help?
Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Northeastern?? I've tried calling and they have been less than helpful. I am already admitted to Vanderbilt so I am okay with a rejection from Northeastern, but I still want to know! This wait is ridiculous.
Still waiting here, too! Did you interview already? I haven't received an invitation for an interview, but oddly enough I keep getting emails about attending their graduate open house.
The wait is terrible!
For anyone who applied for acute care and is still waiting to hear back regarding an interview invite, the director of this concentration responded to my email saying that they have already interviewed the first batch of qualified applicants in late January and will be sending out invites to all additional qualified candidates before the end of this month.
