   biok8e replied to butterfly04's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   I can at least attest to the fact that we have several current hospital workers in our program... a lawyer, a person with a masters, and a BUNCH of others. Honestly don't know how I fit into the...

   Yeah, the other universities in the Boston area are running at LEAST that if not more. Northeastern's program runs almost $100K. BC's isn't cheap, either. That's why I figured I'd go back for a 2nd...

   biok8e replied to biok8e's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   The entire accelerated program is running about $20k. But keep in mind, that doesn't include books, and the "distance learning fee" for the online courses is KILLER (about a grand a course!). The...

   The only thing I did was to call . I emailed her a bunch, too. I was a UMB alum, too - maybe that helped! Who knows - I can give you all a little update on what I've heard about the program for the...

   biok8e replied to biok8e's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   I am. At least in my program. However, the catch is that the program must be able to be completed in a year ( I didn't file for unemployment until 5 mos in) and it needs to be "approved" by the...

   That's really exciting! Thanks so much for the info. Pedi psych is something I really enjoyed during my mental health clinical. I had the opportunity to work on the CAU at Cambridge Hospital and the...

   I apologize for coming off like I'm rubbing it in. The thank you was sincere. I got my benefits extension from the Federal government which allows me to continue to attend school and not have to work....

    Yes, you are reading my post wrong. I'm collecting unemployment as I finish my 2nd degree BSN program. It's excellent. Not only does the federal government provide me with scholarships to pay for...

    ...for funding my education. This is wonderful. I call a number every week (yes, yes, no) and money appears in my account. We can complain about our government all we want to, but when you get laid...

    biok8e replied to linds24's topic in General Students

    I'll drop my two cents into this one. I'm a 27 year old second degree student with a 3 year old little girl. If you have a LOT of help, and an extremely supportive husband, and you're not planning on...

    One, my previous degree was in psych... I won't mind! It's not a matter of not being able to find the job I WANT, it's a matter of being able to find ANY job at all. Most people are capable of finding...
