  1. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    Did anyone actually NOT get in at all? I just wonder if they put EVERYONE on the waiting list, with a few at the top who are actually in the running for a spot. I'm on the waiting list, just...
  2. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    I was placed on the waiting list as well. I hear that accepted applicants have to give their deposit by Jan 25 or they give up their spot. I have a 4.0 gpa and got waitlisted, so I don't know what...
  3. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    Just called again and heard the letters were sent out yesterday (not last week like previously
  4. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    Thanks curiosity
  5. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    I didn't get an email about financial aid options....I think that might be a bad sign. I did apply already for a scholarship (need based grant or something to that nature) around the time I applied...
  6. MGH accelerated BSN 2010

    Just called MGH and was told notifications went out mid-week last week, so the Jan 5 target date sounds about right...I think we all should be receiving our letters this week. Yikes this is...
  7. Dilation Issues Pts w/ Prior Cryo

    Have you seen/heard of patients who have had trouble during labor/delivery due to cervix not dilating properly after having had a cryo done (for abnormal pap / dysplasia) in the past? Heard of this...
  8. dissecting cats

    Just force yourself to forget the fact that it's a companion animal and think of it in a clinical sense. I got over the initial aww, pooor (insert cuddly cute creature name here) pretty quickly once...
  9. male labor and delivery nurses

    In the past my OB was an older man, really nice and comforting. I had to have a really uncomfortable procedure done and he made me feel a lot better about it. He's retired now and I've since moved...
  10. Dilation Issues Pts w/ Prior Cryo

    My cousin actually had this happen, but prior to the actual delivery, she'd never heard of there being any potential issues...so she was quite surprised when the midwife asked her hey have you had a...
  11. Discouraged L&D RN

    Thanks for the replies! I am not saying I would refuse anything that was necessary...just like, why are all my friends who've recently had a baby telling me how they had their water broken and were...
  12. Discouraged L&D RN

    I have a question...I'm only a student and haven't even started nursing school yet so I'm a little unaware of how it works. If I was having a baby and really wanted to avoid the pitocin route, as in...
  13. is this a hippa violation??

    She's wrong...you were right for getting out of that situation quickly. My own Mom works in healthcare and often sees patients that are from our hometown...I'd probably know tons of her patients but...
  14. Oh, the gossip.

    Women suck... I can't stand how we all are to each other. I read/heard somewhere a long time ago this saying that went something like women could rule the world but they spend too much time tearing...
  15. New Nurse having trouble with Techs

    This may not be the popular opinion but I think that when the OP is asking a tech to help her with something, she needs help, she's not asking so they can kiss her butt or somehow to make them feel...
  16. Nurses with tattoos, is it acceptable?

    That's weird if they would care. Right now I work in finance for an investment firm where that would probably be an issue if it was VISIBLE, but that's because you're dealing with high net worth...
  17. Opinions pls!, Is it to late?

    It's NOT too late!! Please, 33 is NOT too old to start a career! I am 27 and going for my 2nd degree BSN (nursing school) and would you call that too old? Probably not, so you're only 6yrs older than...
  18. Shadowing?

    I am applying to accelerated nursing programs right now (2nd degree options). I know this is what I want to do (nursing) but just would really like the chance to shadow a nurse and just see what a day...
  19. HELP Resident calling baby "stupid" What to do!!!??

    Maybe the baby cannot understand, but the rest of the healthcare workers in the NICU can, and that's heartbreaking to hear someone refer to a helpless infant like that (at least it's heartbreaking for...
  20. Which pre-reqs to take first?

    I took A&P 1 and Chem together from Jan-May, then took A&P 2 as a 6wk summer course. I would take A&P 2 by itself, but A&P 1 isn't rocket science. It's pretty straightforward, I...
  21. Help!! Microbiology Vs. Nutrition

    I took Nutrition over the summer as an online class. i finished it in 10wks. I took in along with another online class (Human Development). Yeah it was a lot of studying but I got A's in both...I'd...
  22. Is Nursing For Me?

    Hmm...I think you'll get thru that. I am not weirded out by medical stuff, but just the general "i'm going to pass out/throw up/etc" feeling you mention I've definitely experienced. Just remember,...
  23. Hi Dawn, I'm working now in Boston (as an exec assistant) while I'm applying to Accelerated BSN options at the area schools. Love to hear about where you worked in Cambridge - such a fun
  24. Just moved to MA from South Florida where I took most of my pre-reqs for nursing school...judging by the caliber of students in my classes (constant cheating, just absolute laziness like I've never...
  25. Text Messaging During Lecture

    I didn't mean to seem like I was judging you, I just sometimes feel sorta bad for the instructor when people text during class...but obviously your sitch is different. Plus I need to pay close...
