It still seems a lot less expensive than other MSN and/or DNP programs, right? And fortunately they require you to work as an RN a few hours a week after your first year, which may help with paying off student debt (NPToBe537 and rcwalsh, correct me if I'm wrong there!) NPToBe537 and rcwalsh - Do you know if students find themselves in tuition/loan repayment programs after graduation (e.g., service corps, etc)?

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! Good call, NurseJeffryMA. I went ahead and made one: UMass Worcester GSN GEP Class of 2022 If anyone is interested in becoming an admin, let me know! I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Can't wait to meet you all!

Hi NPtoBe527 - This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much! Given the academic load is pretty rigorous, do you have any suggestions as to how to prepare for the first year? Anything you wish you had done before enrolling?

Hey NPToBe527, thanks so much for your offer! Can you provide some insight as to what your day-to-day is like as a first year student, and is there anything you wish you knew prior to starting the program?

Hey guys! I'm glad you all got this thread started, now that application season is in full swing. Mma22664, yeah I think the application ends up being around $135 total because we have to pay for both the NursingCAS fee and the UMass fee. BUT this program is much less expensive than others! I think the first year is the most expensive, but it decreases every year. And I'm pretty sure you get to work as an RN after the first year, so I would assume that would also help in terms of income? They have some info about this on their website: Tuition and Financial Information I love this program, particularly because of the small class size, resources, and the faculty seem great! What pros/cons are you guys considering?
