    graymama replied to akp73's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hah! I also have kids and took all weekend clinicals - no one wants them, so there are always openings. :

  2. Simmons or Johns Hopkins?

    graymama replied to akp73's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Simmons would like everyone to work as an RN while doing the NP portion. Having said that, in this economy they are being very understanding about this and looking at changing the requirement if...

  3. Simmons or Johns Hopkins?

    graymama replied to akp73's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am at Simmons in the Direct Entry Program - got my RN in December, now in the first semester of the NP program. I recently ran into a couple of NPs who graduated from other schools in Boston. Both...

  4. Simmons or Johns Hopkins?

    graymama replied to akp73's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was also trying to make the decision btwn Simmons and MGH. I have decided to go with Simmons ME program. Simmons has consistently had a great reputation, and gives you alot of experience before...

    I did my pre-reqs there and got a letter last month stating that problems had been resolved and that they are admitting a class for Fall 08. Good

  6. student with mild hearing loss

    graymama replied to nursingnewb's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    That really sounds cumbersome! Especially if aides are in both ears... Is it just easier to not wear the aides??? I can easily see myself dropping things on the floor, batteries then rolling away, me...

    I am starting a RN-MSN program this spring and am worried about my hearing loss also. About a year ago I developed tennitus in both of my ears, with some hearing loss. I am right on the borderline for...

    No...just

  9. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    graymama replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I should have been clearer about MGHIHP - the timing that I am talking about is for Direct Entry for Fall 08. The deadline for applications is January 15??? and I was told they would have decisions...

  10. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    graymama replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The one thing about BC's program is that it is only 2 years, and leaves no room for working as an RN and gaining some experience on the way to the Masters. I personally want to get some experience -...

  12. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    graymama replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was also accepted at Regis. What draws you to MGHIHP more than Regis? Is it just the idea of being in Boston at the hospitals down there (this is definitely a factor for me)? I like the flexible...

  13. What is with me?? Do I give up?

    graymama replied to EeyoreAddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think a lot of us feel for you. I have 4 kids and went through a tough few years of a very sick child, miscarriages, sick husband, a move. If there is one thing, you deal and move on. But when...

    graymama replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I also applied to Regis and Simmons. Regis said they would send letters by January 7th if you had your application in by December 10. So next week should be interesting! What do you think about Regis?...

  15. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    graymama replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Do you think it's okay to call and ask about when letters will be sent? I don't want to annoy anyone, but it is SO hard
