1. UMass Boston Summer 2021 ABSN

   billiepw replied to sctrex's topic in School Programs

   I attached a resume. I'm hoping that my pretty stellar job/volunteer history will sway the decision a bit since my college GPA wasn't so great. I'm pretty famous for going over the word count considerably. I'm proud of myself that I only wen...

2. UMass Boston Summer 2021 ABSN

   billiepw replied to sctrex's topic in School Programs

   I'm sorta hoping that the students are too busy to write/respond to reviews. I've found no student feedback regarding this program which I find odd. But, in terms of missing out on concepts, from what they presented, it seems like it depends on...

3. UMass Boston Summer 2021 ABSN

   billiepw replied to sctrex's topic in School Programs

   Hey, I applied for Summer cycle as well. I'm curious as to why you think that applications will be sparse this time round? I figured that if nothing else, there would be an ever so slight uptick. In the info sessions, they mentioned that ...

4. Major writer's block: looking for suggestions

   billiepw posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm applying for UMass Boston ABSN and it's possible that it's just the way that CommonApp has formatted their site, but it's thrown me off a little. I understand that we need to submit a 500-word essay about "what is professional nursing?" F...

   I'll definitely look into the bridge programs and talking to a FAFSA rep (rather than the admissions and loan rep that I talked to).

   billiepw replied to billiepw's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have looked into better financial aid. I was told because if my of my previous degree i wouldn't be much, in fact I have to pay some out of pocket. My husband's copies income isn't part of the equation (one of the many reasons we're getting a div...

   billiepw replied to billiepw's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm curious what is the name of this program that you're doing (not the actual school). I'm wondering if there's a similar program near me.

   billiepw replied to billiepw's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow. An OVERWHELMING majority of you say that ABSN is a no go and ADN is the best route. I suppose I can't say that I'm surprised. I'm taking three classes right now and it's tough but doable I looked at the curriculum for the schools around me a...

9. How do I work study and be a mom full time

   billiepw replied to billiepw's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you to you both for responding to my question. I've asked myself all of these hard questions over and over and seem to come up with no answers. I feel I have no choice but to enroll in the ABSN program. I've wasted so much time as it is chas...

    billiepw posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've taken the first steps toward becoming a nurse by enrolling in prerequisites. I'm nearly done and have gotten fairly ndecent grades. I want to do an ABSN program with the ultimate goal of becoming a CNM. Here's the catch. I'm also finally get...

    billiepw posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I need some advice from those who are recently entering the CNA field in Massachusetts. I took the test twice now. I just got the results of my retake and I have to say that based on what they said I failed at (clinical), I would like to appeal. My e...
