1. Failed NCLEX 3 times

   FutureAdultGeroNP replied to newnurse2011's topic in NCLEX

   I took classes NCLEX prep classes with Penni Harbour. She does small group classes over Skype that are very helpful for developing the critical thinking that you need to pass. They are not expensive, about $15/class. Here's a link to her FB pag...

2. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2020

   FutureAdultGeroNP replied to massDNP's topic in School Programs

   Yes @Niithompson22, being able to work in the 2nd and 3rd years is definitely a big benefit of this program and one of the reasons I chose it. Now that I am working, I can definitely see the benefit of getting this experience before trying to work as...

3. UMASS Worcester - GEP 2020

   FutureAdultGeroNP replied to massDNP's topic in School Programs

   Hi, I'm in my second year of the program (DNP1). I did not have direct healthcare experience. While it would certainly be helpful (it seemed like the CNAs and EMTs were more comfortable in clinical at the outset), it's not necessary - they will teach...

4. Is there is BSN to DNP Education Degree?

   FutureAdultGeroNP replied to dtaylor723's topic in Educators

   UMass Medical School in Worcester, MA has a BSN to PhD in Nursing program which is more research-focused than the DNP and I believe also has an education component.

5. School is cancelled but clinical is not? (COVID-19)

   FutureAdultGeroNP replied to nurseann11's topic in COVID

   In our school, classes are offline for the rest of March (at least), but clinicals are ongoing. We are not allowed to treat anyone with Covid-19 however. A couple of clinical sites have cancelled... I really hope no more do! As the poster above me me...

   OK so this is confusing... someone from my class created a group for your class named: UMass Med GEP 2024 She didn't realize that another group had already been created. Apparently new students were trying to join our group from last year. Has anyon...

    Hi @massDNP @futurenp1234I 'm waiting for my request to join the FB group to be approved so I can share the link to the housing spreadsheet. I don't want to share it on here - it's too public.

    FutureAdultGeroNP replied to massDNP's topic in School Programs

    @massDNP for the first year all of the classes are on campus and in person. You're on campus 5 days a week - 2 days of classes, 1 afternoon lab and 2 days clinical rotations. I think the summer term there's an online class to make it easier to do the...

    @FutNurse23 hi, I'm so sorry for my delayed response, been busy w/school! I believe that the financial aid letter only includes fall and spring semester, not the summer semester. The subsequent years are much less expensive than the first year but ho...

    That's great @futurenp1234 congratulations! That's my track too (can you tell by my name haha). So I ended up getting my own apartment (which I found from a flyer on one of the school bulletin boards) and then posting for a roommate on the medical sc...
