I am a very excited soon-to-be-nursing-student and one of the aspects of the profession that appealed to me was its variety. There are so many paths a nurse can walk! I can't wait to get started in...
Hi admart, Funny, those are the exact three schools that I applied to! I applied to UMass Worcester for financial considerations, but really don't want to move to Worcester (I live in Cambridge now...

Yeah, Boston traffic makes Toledo traffic pale in comparison! I actually used to LIKE driving, I found it RELAXING, when I lived in Toledo. Now I'd rather crawl through 40 miles of mud on my hands...
Wow, reading everyone's stories here is sobering! So many of you have such inner strength and determination; it's inspiring to read! (But of course regrettable that you've had to experience these...
Hi all, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has been accepted to the Simmons direct-entry program, and if so, if you've gotten any info from them about financial aid? I assumed that any...

Glad for the good new, renerian. I was born and raised in Toledo but have been on the East coast (Boston) since college. I just got accepted to several Boston-area direct entry NP programs and am...

Hi mules03, Thanks for your insights! It really helps to hear some first-hand experience (even though the experience sounds scary!). What track are you in? Good luck in making in through to Spring...
Hi Angie O'Plasty! I got the skinny envelope of doom, too; luckily I had just talked to a friend whose roommate was accepted to a grad program at Harvard via a suspisciously thin envelope, so I didn't...
Congrats, janony! I'm in your boat; I received an acceptance letter from Simmons on the same day I recieved notice of the $30,000 scholarship from MGH. I opened Simmons first and thought -- OK, now I...
Howdy! I'm Chantelle, currently trying to decide which NP program in Boston to attend starting this year. I'm planning to pursue a dual-track in Adult/Gerontological care. I'm getting scared about...
Regarding the anti-DE sentiments... I have sensed this, too, from reading discussion boards (I haven't started my DE program yet). However, as I was making my decision to apply for DE, a veteran...
Hi there, I'm not a guy, nor am I (yet) a nurse, but I'm planning to start NP school in the summer and I characterize myself as an introvert, too. I've found that my problem is very different...
Future_NP110, my letter from MGH was dated Feb 9th, and I got it on the 11th. I also applied to UMass Worcester and to Simmons. Angie-O-Plasty, congrats on MGH!! Bu it's so unfortunate that you're...
Hi all, I've loved reading everyone's experiences in their direct-entry programs and/or application processes... I applied to 3 Boston-area schools (MGH, Simmons, and UMass Worcester), and I have been...
