PP mentioned a key fact - reading. I never read unless I was getting tested on the material...and even then I would focus just on the areas being tested. Some courses require less reading so I did it. But, for example, when it came to Research and t...

I went into pedi home health and did perfectly fine. I rationalized that if parents could learn their child's care with no formal training and while under duress in the face of a traumatic diagnosis/event, then certainly I could too. That being said...

If you have a bad group, and this happens, prepare to drink wine, and ultimately die. You will have no choice but to single handedly do each assignment yourself. This will effectively alter your consciousness for life in a negative way and happens a...

Week 2 in Vulnerable is awful. Prepare to take time off/have PLENTY of free time that week (I'm talking like 50 hours of free time) for that week. Then it's better. I doubled research and history II and I gave up sleep and gym time but made it work....

What is the deposit at BC? UMB was only $250 so I figured I would be fine losing out on that if needed.

I got an email. What happened was that my academic recommendation never arrived (it did arrive at the three other schools to which I applied). I was alerted 24hrs prior to the deadline and was then told I had another few days to get it in. It was sp...

So, I didn't get into BC. The only thing I can think is that it's because my academic recommendation didn't arrive on time and so they let my employer fax a letter on the fly after the due date and without letterhead. I'm annoyed because I have a 3.9...

Oh, I completely agree with you. I just can't fathom the type of person who would go through the trouble of doing all of that to get someone into trouble. It's just so weird to me that someone would be that motivated to throw someone else under the b...

Because, barring anything ACTUALLY harmful, I wouldn't be such a total kiss a** or tattle tale that I would go through the effort of PRINTING the comment (which, truthfully, was just an opinion) and then bringing it to the boss. If you identify with...

Honestly, I don't think what you did was wrong, just not smart. You should be allowed to call anyone an ass, whether it's smart or not, well, that's another story. Also, the person who printed it is a total jerk. Remove them immediately and keep th...

That makes sense. I wanted to apply for that program but didn't have my stuff together in time. Plus, even though I have a great GPA, I figure Harvard wants all sorts of bells and whistles.

Has anyone heard anything about their clinicals? They say they "collaborate" with the student but I'm curious as to what, exactly this means or entails. Truth me told, I have heard more than one person tell me it was worth it to pay more and go somew...

I estimated it around 32k. Including fees.

Just to clarify, I'm doing the NP program part-time. Will work per diem/part time and will have the baby. Full time school wouldn't work with this set-up!

I'm planning on starting NP school and trying to get pregnant at the same time. Not the ideal, but it's the plan that works best for us. I figure I can always take a semester off or only take one course when I'm due/the couple of months after birth w...

I wish I didn't read this post until then. I have been so focused on wrapping up my BSN program that I forgot all about my applications and now I've been stalking my email. Bummer they pushed it back but thanks for the update. Question: have you rec...

Thanks this is very helpful! I wish information on all of the programs was easier to come by. I think I am going to be in a similar position to you and end up putting down deposits until I hear from Simmons and MGH. I wish the due dates for apps wer...

Me either.... Maybe they mailed it all out?? I better hop to my Simmons and MGH apps. Also, have you been successful in finding overall costs for the programs? I have the cost per credit I do, but didn't know if you have received info that may be mo...

Holy cow, that's like TODAY. I have a feeling the deposit for BC will be much more than UMB which scares me because I would like to hold my spot until the Simmons and MGH decisions come in. Then I can decide not only where to go, but whether to do AC...

So, I got accepted. I'm glad to have acceptance somewhere as I'm still awaiting my acceptance (hopefully) from Boston College. My #1 choice is Simmons and the application date is 6/1, so I just need to wrap up that application and send it in. I am al...

I found this class to be one of the more manageable ones. It's paper-heavy but lost of it is. Health promotion, holistic care of the adult aren't bad. Vulnerable, health assessment and especially research are killers. I have been fine doubling. Rese...

I'm in Mass. and took this program. I finish in a few weeks. I found it to be very affordable (no in/out of state, same rate for all) and the selling point for me was that it is an actual brick and mortar school. I personally don't like the stigma th...

I met with my supervisor for an hour. Literally. Wasn't long at all. They didn't have the time to be bothered and my AC was pretty accommodating.

Also, I have a 3.93 (would be a 4.0 if it wasn't for research) just for reference.

I doubled and tripled the whole time, Including with research. Tripling was a bit much, but doubling has been fine. Just use your time wisely. Take research alone in case you have a bad group. Health promotion and holistic care of the adult are easy...
