Hi Nora, Let me know what you find out. I am not sure where I want to end up working, but am sure that the Boston hospitals would be an amazing experience. I have talked to some Simmons students but haven't heard anything from the students at UMass. Thanks! Ashley

Hi NP-to-be, I am trying to decide between the Simmons and UMASS direct entry programs. Right now I am leaning towards UMASS just because Simmons is so much more expensive. However, I don't want to choose a school based solely on money. I have talked to a few professors at Simmons and they say all the students work during the second/third year, does this help keep the cost down? I am interested in eventually working with lower income populations so I don't want to have too many loans coming out of school because I am not sure I will make that much later on. However, I don't want to turn down a better educational opportunity because of cost. So, any advice you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Did anyone out there apply to Simmons, MGH and UMass Worcester Direct Entry programs for fall 06? I am trying to decide between Simmons and UMass at this point. I have heard the Simmons program is better, but am worried about money. Also, are there any students in either program who can give some advice? Thanks so much!
