Thank you very much, I appreciate your clarity and directness! So, the 60k difference would definitely push you in the direction of MGH?

Hi, I have been accepted into the following two direct-entry MSN programs. I would like any advice possible on which program I should choose, based on these goals: -I have no money to contribute to graduate school, no savings, come from a low-income family and have ZERO financial support. -My goal is to live and work in CA immediately after graduation. Preferably, in southern CA (Santa Monica is my end-goal). -I want to work in primary care in a hospital or clinic setting, but don't know which yet. These are the programs I was admitted to: 1. Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions -I have been offered a 90k scholarship, making the TOTAL cost of the program 40k. -According to US News World Report, the school ranks #63 in the US 2. UCSF Master's Entry Program in Nursing -They will offer at max a 10k scholarship, and all other assistance must come from scholarships I apply for. -Total cost of the program is $100k (without any scholarship) -According to US News World Report, the school ranks #4 in the US -I went through an extremely rigorous application process, and am 1 of 18 admittedly into my specialty. -The housing situation in SF is very difficult, I will be lucky to find a room in a house for under $900/month. WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Hi! I have been admitted to the Direct-Entry Master of Science in Nursing Program (DEN) in the Family Nurse Practitioner Speciality at MGHIHP. I am from California and am facing a difficult decision. I need to choose between UCSF's Master's Entry Program in Nursing and MGH IHP's DEN Program. My goal is to return to Los Angeles after graduation to work as an FNP in LA and I have been told attending UCSF is a good option to achieve this goal. However, I have been offered a $90k scholarship by MGHIHP, and this would cover approximately 70% of the tuition. Whereas, UCSF will most likely not be able to offer as generaous a scholarship. I would love to hear some thoughts, what would you do?

Do you think it is possible to work full time as an RN in phase 2?

Hello everyone! I am applying to the 2018 cohort. I have some questions for any current UAB AMNP students: 1) This is the essay prompt this year: Please explain your understanding of the contribution nurses have in health care and why you are interested in a career in the nursing profession. Why is the AMNP Program a good choice for your nursing education? -What do you suggest including in the essay? What should we highlight? What are they looking for? 2) I have a B.S in psychology, a 3.4 GPA from undergrad/4.0 pre-req GPA, and over 100 hours in each of the following volunteer positions: An NP-run women's clinic, a hospital and in a major medical research facility. I am also a CNA. I am very concerned about not getting into this program. Can you tell me if my qualifications are enough to achieve acceptance? 3) I have been told it it possible to work in year 2 and 3 as a RN. Have you found this possible? I appreciate all the help and thank you for starting this thread!
