  1. Question about Prereq's

    juliewoo replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think the first one you listed (Chem 1001) sounds just right. Honestly, they didn't fight me on any of my pre-reqs so I think you'll be fine with whatever you

  2. Question about Prereq's

    juliewoo replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    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...

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

    juliewoo replied to dgolden's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You're welcome. Good luck with whatever path you

  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...

  5. any ER tech in massachusetts??

    juliewoo replied to aznbaby's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    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...

  6. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    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...

  7. MGH aceptance

    juliewoo replied to aduran90's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Oh hey there fellow

  8. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I haven't had any experience with the NP clinical because I'm not at that part yet, but my academic advisor has already mentioned to me that clinical spots are limited due to a shortage of preceptors....

  9. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    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...

  10. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    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,...

  11. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    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...

  12. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    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...

  13. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    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...

  14. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    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...

  15. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Congrats to those who got accepted to MGH! I'm just finishing my first year in the program now and would be happy to chat with any of you who are considering going there in the fall. Just send me a

  16. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    My guess is that MGH will send out letters sometime next week. I got mine last year around the 26th of

  17. Troubles for a 2nd Degree Candidate

    juliewoo replied to Stephieee's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If I were you, I would start by re-taking the pre-reqs that you didn't do so well in. Then tackle the GRE. (I hated that test, too). I think going the traditional BSN or ADN route would be counter...

  18. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    juliewoo replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Chemistry in HS definitely won't cut it, and if you didn't take any Chemistry when you got your bachelor's you have to take it (including an organic component). They won't let you start the program...

  19. MGH Direct Entry schedule?

    juliewoo replied to TedEMTP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi TedEMTP, If the class schedule for next fall stays the same (which I'm assuming it will), here's the schedule you're looking at: Mondays - class from 9 am to 4 pm. The morning class is History of...

  20. Where did you take your pre-reqs? (BSN programs - MGH, Simmons, etc.)

    juliewoo replied to Anaphase's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Definitely take them anywhere other than the school you're attending. I had to take 3 classes last summer and it cost me less to take 3 courses at community colleges than I would have cost me to take...

  21. Direct Entry MSN's 2010

    juliewoo replied to allie2010's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    MGH sends out their decisions at the end of February and they don't interview, so don't be alarmed if you don't hear from them for a while. They also sent out a welcome email last year (and an...

  22. Regis College in Weston early decision due Dec. 7, 2009? Anyone apply?

    juliewoo replied to dreamagain18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    My acceptance letter last year came in a regular letter/thin envelope (it only had two pieces of paper - the actual letter and a deposit/agreement

  23. Regis College in Weston early decision due Dec. 7, 2009? Anyone apply?

    juliewoo replied to dreamagain18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Cherish, I ended up choosing MGH simply because I felt it was a better fit for me (in terms of location, what the program offered, etc.) I just finished my first semester and I LOVE it. Good luck to...

  24. here is a question for you

    juliewoo replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    I vote C as well. O2 is considered a medication and requires a dr's order. Since it doesn't tell you in the question whether that order exists or not, I think C is your best

  25. Regis College in Weston early decision due Dec. 7, 2009? Anyone apply?

    juliewoo replied to dreamagain18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    BananaNapkin, Just as FYI since you applied to the same schools that I did last year... You'll hear from Regis pretty quickly about their decision. I sent my app in after the early decision deadline...
