Northeastern University Direct-Entry Hybrid Nursing Program

[bsma]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone who is currently in Northeastern's hybrid nursing program could possibly tell me something positive about it? I am supposed to start this program in January and I have been reading through many discussions and what I have seen does not sound good. Is this program really of poor quality? Is it true that I basically do not have a chance at a specialty track in the master's portion of the program, that only the on-ground nursing students get the specialty track opportunity, that the teachers are difficult to work with, and that the staff aren't even Northeastern professors? Someone please tell me that the quality of this program has improved in the past few years. For the money that this program costs, I would like to get a quality education, but I am not so sure I should go through with this program anymore if the only comments people are making are negative.

Hi bsma,

I'm supposed to start this program in January and am in the same boat... Any chance you've learned more since posting this? I am so confused as to what to expect or if this is actually the right decision. I just saw my schedule on myneu and every professor I looked up got terrible reviews and I'm just really worried about this decision.

I am starting in May. I am not getting the information I need from the school. What days/times did they schedule you for? Did you have a choice in scheduling labs/clinicals?

Hello,

I was a student in the fall cohort of the Northeastern Direct Entry Online Program. I wouldn't recommend that program to my worst enemy! You are literally 100% on your own, teaching yourself how to be a nurse. You are overloaded with busy work that will only frustrate you and not help you succeed. It is all online, and all your professors live out of state. Overall, a total disaster. I left the program and am looking to transfer elsewhere. Its just a shame that Northeastern set up this online program. I do not think it will last. My advice is to look into a better program, where you are not paying a ton of money to teach yourself!
