   Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

   The only thing I can say is that I dont think NP school should be a 'last minute' decision. I've been working on my application since last year, and had sent out several applications in October. I...

   Simmons doesn't have a "bad rep", but the avg GPA of an accepted applicant is 3.0 (compared to 3.5-3.7 for the big name programs) and they don't require GREs (a major factor in big schools decisions)....

   Im going to BC next year for the master's entry program. Its the shortest, and cheapest program in boston with a reputation that speaks for itself. I was given a partial scholarship, which helped...

   I have looked at both of the schools, and I guess I can give you a neutral opinion because I'm already going somewhere else! Personally, I feel MGH and Simmons are on the same page academically,...

   Simmons has good location, a strong undergrad program in nursing, and a pretty good reputation. I met with the director of the direct-entry program a while back--their focus is very clinical based,...

   Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I got into BC and haven't heard from NEU yet (BC accepts less than NEU does). I don't think not hearing from them yet means we're not in. I think it has to do with the rolling

   Redsox17 replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Did anyone receive a scholarship to MGH? I heard they give some merit scholarships, but I was wondering how many (I know they went out with the acceptance letters). I got accepted to MGH early, so I...

    NEU is rolling admissions so if you submitted your app close to the deadline, chances are you haven't heard back yet. I applied close to the deadline and haven't heard

    Redsox17 replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats on Marquette! I agree that the tuition is way to much and I'm going to BC instead (half as much as Columbia). I can't imagine how long it would take to pay off a loan like that and I think...
