Hi, I applied after priority deadline and got accepted a few days ago for FNP

Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide between two nursing programs I've been accepted to and would really appreciate honest feedback from anyone with experience or insight. I've been accepted to: MGH Institute of Health Professions (Direct Entry MSN → NP track) Northeastern University (Direct Entry MSN) For context, my long-term goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner, and I'm trying to think both short-term and long-term (cost, timeline, job opportunities, etc.). Here's where I'm stuck: MGH puts me directly into an NP track, which seems faster and more streamlined Northeastern gives me more flexibility, and I received a 25% scholarship, so the cost is now pretty similar Some specific things I'd love insight on: How did you feel about clinical placements and support at either school? Do you feel like MGH's direct NP pathway is worth it, or is it better to work as an RN first before committing? For Northeastern grads: did you end up going back for NP, or did you stay as an RN? Overall, which program better prepares you clinically and for real-world practice? Any regrets or things you wish you knew before choosing? I'm especially interested in hearing from current students or recent grads from either program. I want to make the most informed decision possible. Thank you in advance!
