   I took my chem class at Northern Essex Community College. Forget what it was called, something like "Biological Chem" and it was a mix of both inorganic and (very basic) organic. Satisfied the pre-req...

4. Non Nursing B.S-Should I do RN to MSN or BSN to MSN

   juliewoo replied to dgolden's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   What about direct entry MSN programs? If you want to be an NP, this seems like the most direct option to me (and probably less expensive in the long run). I guess I just don't understand why you would...

   Depending on where you're hired, you may not need phlebotomy or EKG training before you start. I just got a job as a nursing assistant and the hospital where I was hired includes phlebotomy and EKG...

   juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   Yes, definitely. Won't say I've loved every little thing, but that's to be expected. Even though I feel like I'm busy all the time, the semesters go by REALLY fast. Hard to believe I'm 3 weeks away...

   juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   juliewoo replied to lulustudent21's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   They're referring to the Health Assessment course. You do practice on each other, but it's not bad, I promise. And the lab instructors are very clear that if you don't feel comfortable having someone...

    Hi laurg0223, The schedule for first semester is really packed in the first couple of weeks and then it settles down once clinicals start. The classes for the fall are History of Nursing Ideas,...

    PsychRN28 - I still have about 10 months to go before I take the NCLEX, so I'm not currently looking for RN jobs. That being said, my clinical group did have a discussion about this issue with our...

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The role of the CNA is pretty much identical to the role you'll have as a first year student in clinical so most hospitals will not require you to go through a separate CNA training program. The unit...

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have no idea what the exact number is, but they DO accept people off the waitlist. I know at least a couple classmates who were accepted off the waitlist, but unfortunately I can't give you a time...

    Many students work as nursing assistants over the summer (that is...if they can get a job. most of my classmates are trying for CNA jobs right now and they're hard to come by). It's a good way to...
