    BCgradnurse replied to nursemich's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine on 8/1, too...and had a very similar experience. Still waiting for results.....try to hang in there! Best of luck to

  3. Quick results earlier than 48hrs?

    BCgradnurse replied to KatieRNHopeful's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, I took my exam Friday at 2 PM, and my results aren't posted yet...so much for 48 hours! I'm told they NEVER post before 48 hours, and obviously, they post long after 48 hours. Try to hang in...

  6. Working? during full time ANP program

    BCgradnurse replied to hmboykin76's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I just finished my first year of a pretty intense (at least I think) full time Master's Entry program. I was able to work approximately 20 hours a week in a busy hospital lab. it was tough, but...

  7. I took NCLEX today, when will results be available?

    BCgradnurse replied to Mcdermot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it today too, and feel lousy about it, just like everyone else. The guy at the testing center told me to start looking on Pearsonvue tomorrow afternoon, as they often post earlier than 48...

  8. nclex rn today 8/1/08... felt so bad..

    BCgradnurse replied to epoy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it today too, and feel EXACTLY like you do. Mine stopped at 75, but I can't honestly say that I feel confident about more than 10 of the questions. All of my classmates who have taken it all...

  9. Malpractice Insurance for NP clinicals

    BCgradnurse posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I'm starting my NP clinicals in September, and I have to carry malpractice insurance. It seems like there are a lot of companies out there, and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience (good or...

  10. Research critique

    BCgradnurse replied to cecipun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know if all schools make you do these, but I have to take 2 research courses as part of the MSN/NP program at Boston College. I personally think it should be an elective, or at least be an...

  11. Research critique

    BCgradnurse replied to cecipun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Try looking at the book "Nursing Research" by Denise Polit and Cheryl Beck. They devote a chapter to finding and critiqueing nursing research literature. This is the text we used for a research...

  12. Malpractice Insurance for NP clinicals

    BCgradnurse replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks...one more question....do I get coverage as a student nurse, an RN, or as an NP? Is there separate coverage available for a student

  13. Boston College Master's Entry

    BCgradnurse replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, the only people I know who are planning on working as RNs first are those that are doing the NP portion part-time. Training for a new grad RN is usually 6-8 weeks full time, so it's not possible...

    BCgradnurse replied to orchids8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm hoping to take NCLEX in July. What is this Suzanne's plan that everyone is talking

  15. "career change" resume...suggestions needed!

    BCgradnurse posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am just finishing the RN portion of my Masters' Entry program, and I'd like to look for a per-diem RN job. I have 20+ years experience in another field, and I'm not sure how to craft a resume that...

  16. "career change" resume...suggestions needed!

    BCgradnurse replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks...I though that might be an issue, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I do have the entire month of August off, so I would be available to train full time. I'm hoping to get hired at the...

  17. Working + School?

    BCgradnurse replied to vegnurse21's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I am in a Master's Entry program, and have managed to continue to work 20 hours per week in a hospital lab (my original career). It's really not an option for me not to work-I have 2 kids, a...

  18. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi- Virtually all of the first year clinicals are at places in Boston that are accessible by public transportation. You are asked for your preferences for clinical sites each semester, and they do...

  19. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think there's a good mix of religious denominations amongst the faculty and students. I have never found that religion plays even a minor role in what we are taught, and in our relationships with...

  20. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's a valid question. I think I can best answer it by saying we had our lecture on birth control this past Monday (and it included all methods, not just rhythm), and our lecture on abortion is...

  21. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi and congrats on your acceptances. I'm in my second semester of the ME program at BC and I'm pretty happy with it. Yes, it's very fast paced, but I don't think it's too heavy on theory. I think...

  22. Boston College Master's Entry

    BCgradnurse replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi and congratulations on your acceptance. I honestly don't think the program is too theory based. We were put into clinicals the 3rd week of school, and haven't stopped since! We'll be doing 120...

  23. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi- That's a bummer about having to cut your honeymoon short. One of the women in my class actually got married a few days before we started school, so she had no honeymoon at all. Maybe you can...

  24. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It was basically how to do a head to toe physical assessment. After the week was over the instructors scheduled a time for each of us to actually perform this exam on our lab partner, and we were...

  25. BC Master's Entry Info.

    BCgradnurse replied to Webbigail's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just realized I didn't answer all your questions! All classes are on the main campus in Chestnut Hill, but clinicals are mostly in Boston. For 2nd semester, some clinicals are in the evening and...
