  1. accelerated bachelor degree programs

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to LMG511's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    hi, I will be starting the Curry College ACCEL program in Jan 09. It is a 16 month program--will graduate in May 2010 with my second bachelors. Other programs include Simmons and Regis College...

  2. study habits! help..

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to jap.ster_07's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite, I really like this one!! I could have used it in my "former" life, when I worked as a tutor in the Learning Center of our local community college--the text message-speak in FORMAL writing...

  3. What does teaching hospital mean?

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to RN28MD's topic in General Nursing

    Funny side note--my college buddy (a neurologist now) was telling me this weekend about her med school/residency experience, and was explaining about the coats. She said that nurses called the med...

  4. Mass Bay- anyone know about their "points" system

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to wmnshealth's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I went to their info session last year, and the way it was described then was that admission was granted to students with the most MASSBAY credits -- then they looked at GPA. Credits taken at other...

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbio = A Human Growth/Development = A Plus I was carrying: Mom to 2 Kids Under 4 Part-Time Job Wife to Supportive Hubby (final grades not posted yet!) :redpinkhe

  6. Nursing Students, prepare to get a job!!!

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to kitten0509's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Congrats on the job offer, Cityhawk! Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I'll be starting an accelerated BSN program in Jan '09, and am hoping that things improve before I graduate in May '10...

  7. A.D.N. or B.S.N... what do you think?

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to Hello.Nurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before you decide, take a look at what employers in your area are looking for in new grads. Here in Boston, most of the major hospitals will only hire new grads with BSN. New ADN grads are having...

  8. I'm In!! However, Is Alternate #14 Gonna Cut It??

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to JYCVTY's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hang in there--you might still get in! i will be declining my acceptance to my second choice school b/c i got in at my first... that may happen to many on the wl ahead of you (or life might get in...

  9. How many students did your nursing program accept for your class?

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to anna19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They shoot for a class of 32 per year (accelerated 2nd BSN), so they accept a few more than that, figuring not all will come. I heard that backfired on them last year, and they ended up with a class...

  10. Just Sent My DEPOSIT!!!

    dtrmnd2sccd posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh happy day!! Just sent my $500 deposit in for my 2nd BSN program starting in Jan '09!! I'll have my BSN in May 2010--just two years from now!! Lots of hard work between then and now, but SO...

  11. Just Sent My DEPOSIT!!!

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted to an ADN program which was going to be my backup, and they required a deposit ($350 non-refundable, sigh), too. It was not at a CC (private 2 yr school) so I don't know if CCs are...

  12. (VERY long!) In a dilemma...need advice! :(

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you ever been tested to see if you have a learning disability? My background is higher ed--I tutored in the Learning Center of a local college for several years, and saw MANY students with your...

  13. Microbiology-Spring 2008

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P before Micro and am glad I did. We are breeeeezing through the immune system right now in Micro because the prof assumes we all have seen it before in A&P. My classmates who...

  14. Not accepted... Wait! Accepted!!

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to wannabeRN2010's topic in General Students

    :ancong!:

  15. 4.0 GPA people, HOW can you do this?!!!

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is what worries me!! I'm a 4.0 student in my prereqs, but I hear NS is so much harder!! I'm a mom of two, a 2 and 4 yr old. Plus I work part time. It's tough, but I am a night owl, so I just...

  16. Has anyone taking AP I and AP II in same semester

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both last fall. The local CC ran them consecutively, 8 wks A&P I then 8 wks A&P II. I was in class ALL DAY every Saturday, from 8AM to 4PM, but I was able to pull A's in both. :) I...

  17. Curry ACCEL Jan '09??

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    :ancong!: Congrats Kim!! Looking forward to getting to know

  18. I don't know what to do...im going for RN

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to art0734's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you retake some courses to improve your GPA (and knowledge)? If you're struggling w/the pre-req courses, I imagine the actual nursing school courses will be very challenging. Maybe taking some...

  19. Curry ACCEL Jan '09??

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Just got my letter in the mail today --- I'M IN!! *wine The letter said, "The selection of the ACCEL class this year was extremely difficult due to the high number of well qualified candidates. You...

  20. Please help me file a grievance letter

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to Rebel_Kitty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The sweetest revenge is to prove your critics wrong with your actions--congrats on passing and not letting this woman get the best of you. I think this woman still should be called on her own...

  21. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Without a doubt, go for the masters at MGH! It will give you so many more options than an ADN, and the time frame is not so much different between the two. It may seem like you'll be in school...

  22. How To Do Manage Full-time Work, Husband, Kids And School

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to DandJsmom's topic in General Students

    I'm just in prereqs now (have completed 7 in the last 10 months), and I'm working pt time with a 2 and 4 yr old. Time management is key. Every second of every day is planned, when I'm going to fit...

  23. is there a nursing school without a waiting list

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to FlYaZzNeNa's topic in General Students

    Have you taken all prereqs already (Chem, A&P I & II, Micro, Dev PSY, Stats, etc.)? What level are you looking for--ADN, BSN, direct entry MSN? Are you looking for Fall 2008 or Spring

  24. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is exactly my feeling. The cheater mentality doesn't stop with tests--it pervades every part of their life. As PPs stated, it certainly didn't start with NS, and unless they are called to the...

  25. best order to take pre-reqs

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another mom of girls here (ages 2.5 and 4.5), 36 yrs old when I started pre-reqs a year ago. I was going to start out slow too, worried how I was going to balance it all after so many years out of...
