  1. Nursemates?

    juliewoo replied to sophie<3's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a pair of Nursemates off of Zappos and returned them immediately. I ordered a size 7 Wide and they were by no means wide. Maybe if you have narrow feet they could work for you, but otherwise...

  2. Good patho study aids?

    juliewoo posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all, Classes for my RN/NP program start next week and one of them is phathophysiology. Apparently the textbook assigned for our course is horrible (according to what other students in the program...

  3. Good patho study aids?

    juliewoo replied to juliewoo's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I will look into that one :) Was your textbook "Understanding Pathophysiology" by Heuther, by any chance? It seems to get such crappy reviews I can't imagine why the instructor uses...

  4. so where do u get your scrubs from....

    juliewoo replied to ErinDel's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought my first pair from Lydia's Uniforms. They had reasonable prices and were one of the only recommended places on this board that had the scrubs I wanted in the color I needed. I got them pretty...

  5. Shoes for wide feet

    juliewoo posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I start my nursing program in September and I've been having a hard time finding some shoes for clinical. In street shoes I wear a 7.5, but prefer a 7W. First I tried Danskos based on all the great...

  6. Shoes for wide feet

    juliewoo replied to juliewoo's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the suggestion, shrimpchips! But I probably should have mentioned in my original post that Crocs are not allowed by my

  7. BA to ADN to MSN?

    juliewoo replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    If you want to get your masters, why don't you just do a Direct Entry program? You can apply with a bachelor's in any field and graduate in 2-3 years with an

  8. Who else is having fun with school supplies?

    juliewoo replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    Glad to know I'm not alone in the school supply excitement boat! Just bought some cute binders the other day @ TJ Maxx of all places for $3 a piece. They're all different colors, one for each

  9. medisave.net?

    juliewoo replied to mcubed45's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Try retailmenot.com. They usually have the most up-to-date coupon codes and will tell you which ones have expired/don't work. I got 5% off my Littmann Cardio III on top of the fact that Medisave had...

  10. Non-BSN to MSN advice?

    juliewoo replied to natty553's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like you'd be a good fit for a Direct Entry Master's program (for students with a bachelor's in a field other than nursing). Here's a website that lists a handful of programs throughout the US:...

  12. Direct Entry Programs with Specialty in Women's Health

    juliewoo replied to yellowhouse42's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you looking for schools in one particular area? MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston also offers a dual Adult/Women's Health track in their direct entry program. I believe Regis College...

  13. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    juliewoo replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I used to volunteer at a hospital in High School, but I don't have any clinical experience. Over the summer I work for a biotech company doing

  14. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    juliewoo replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm in the peds track as well! Even though having the summers off means being busier during the fall and spring, it was on my "pro" list when I was choosing schools. I plan on working as a CNA or...

  15. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    juliewoo replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hm, well then I have no idea why the program has less credits. I didn't apply to BC so all I know is what I read on their website. I'm going to MGH in the fall. I like the school for a lot of...

  16. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    juliewoo replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think part of it has to do with the fact that BC's program is only 2 years whereas Simmons and MGH are 3 year programs. Frankly, I would not feel prepared (as someone coming from a non-nursing...

  17. 2009 Direct Entry MSN at MGHIHP

    juliewoo replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In regards to the financial aid, I have not received any sort of statement about what kind of money I'm getting. So I definitely don't feel "all set" in that regard I also have some pre-reqs to...

  18. 2009 Direct Entry MSN at MGHIHP

    juliewoo replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, well that's totally not as exciting as I thought it would be! I guess I'm just impatient waiting for some more info about the

  19. 2009 Direct Entry MSN at MGHIHP

    juliewoo replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Did anyone else receive an email about the online orientation? I got a message saying I had been added to the DEN-Orientation section, but there was no login info. I tried using the email they have on...

  21. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    juliewoo replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    MGH Institute is affiliated with Mass General Hospital, but it's a separate institution. They only provide graduate degrees (with the exception of the accelerated BSN), so they're not really a...

  22. Anyone taken/taking Salem State Direct Entry program?

    juliewoo replied to erinkate's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm not sure if this is at all related to your question, but when I looked into this program it said on their website (in bold letters) that their direct entry program grants a Master's Degree but is...

  23. Anyone from Regis College?

    juliewoo replied to lablad's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I filled out my FAFSA in January as I was sending out my applications. You should definitely fill it out now and not wait too much

    juliewoo replied to lablad's topic in Massachusetts Nursing
