Hi there, My name is Emily and I'm new here. I was hoping to reach out to all of you and ask for your feedback. I'm 35 years old and after my mother's diagnoses with leukemia (AML) and bone marrow transplant last year, caring for her has led me back to school down the path of nursing. It was through caring for my mother and watching all the nurses involved in her care while she was at the hospital, that made such a profound impact on me. I now want to give back and help others and their families, the way my mothers' nurses helped us which made all the difference. I was recently accepted into both accelerated nursing program at Regis College and Simmons. I am currently taking a pre-req at Regis and it is ok. I took a tour at Simmons and of course a beautiful school in the heart of Boston. They also seem somewhat comparable in price. I would so appreciate if anyone out there has any feedback for me regarding Regis vrs Simmons accelerated nursing program or nursing program in general, I know everyone has a different opinion, which I respect very much. If anyone has attended either school or program or has heard anything, good, bad and ugly, any information you could give me I would very grateful. I will be making my decision by next week. Thank you all in advance. Emily
