  1. Fall 2016 MCPHS applicants

    CiaMia replied to Tammy2016's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm actually finishing it up right now, 5 more weeks! :) I've never heard of someone transferring into the ABSN though -- are you already in an ABSN

  2. Fall 2016 MCPHS applicants

    CiaMia replied to Tammy2016's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi Tammy, Are you applying to transfer into the Boston 4-year program? Or into the Worcester/Manchester ABSN? Good luck!

  3. MCPHS ABSN Spring 2016

    CiaMia replied to tinab9187's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Good luck, let me know if I can help more. My advice while you're waiting is to get TB tested if you haven't in the last 2 years, and get together your Hep B, flu shot records

  4. MCPHS ABSN Spring 2016

    CiaMia replied to tinab9187's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hmm, I'm trying to remember now... (it was Jul '14 haha); I think there may have been an online form with the deposit but not sure... you're starting in the spring? I'd shoot the admissions office an...

    Have you officially accepted and paid the deposit..? I think it was after that that I got a bunch more stuff...

  6. MCPHS ABSN Spring 2016

    CiaMia replied to tinab9187's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Oh gosh, sorry that happened!! It does take some time for them to process applications and make sure everything's there and set before they formally consider you, so I wouldn't read too much into

  7. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    CiaMia replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's funny, it's seems like half of the cohort of my accelerated post-bacc BSN program were wannabe PAs who got told they weren't accepted to that program but offered a spot in the nursing program. I...

  9. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    CiaMia replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Slightly off the scrubs color-coordination topic, BUT another pet peeve of mine that came up on social media the other day: PA students specifically saying they study and practice medicine. No. You do...

  10. MCPHS ABSN Spring 2016

    CiaMia replied to tinab9187's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't think you specifically need to buy a tablet/portable PC; what most people find most useful is to print the slides and make notes on those during lectures. I would say index cards, highlighters...

  11. MCPHS ABSN Spring 2016

    CiaMia replied to tinab9187's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hey y'all, for N1 (first semester), expect pretty solid 8:30-5 class all day every day, with maybe one half-day a week. Yes, only one lab! not all of them (usually 2/3 scheduled, you're split up into...

    There was a technical glitch and the original thread had to be re-started, meaning that replies were

  14. How many attempts did it take you to get into the nursing program?

    CiaMia replied to byjessi's topic in General Nursing

    One full application and acceptance; one withdrawn application when the (hybrid) program realized they wouldn't be able to give me visa eligibility (but were incredibly nice and transparent about it,...

    CiaMia replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    my heart sank when I got the email, and even more when I read further into it. I'm so sorry, and wish everyone affected, personally and professionally, time and space to grieve, and process in as much...

  17. Winter New Grad Programs Near Boston

    CiaMia replied to Justinenix's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The only formal new grad residencies in the area I believe are fall start and go on a year by year basis as to whether they run. MGH is running one this year but hasn't in the last few. If you can...

  18. Anyone at MCPHS FNP

    CiaMia replied to ameliaok's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    A couple of quick questions before I answer properly!! :) Are you applying direct-entry? Are you already an RN? I know some of the faculty on the Boston campus, including for FNP (because I'm in the...

    CiaMia replied to CiaMia's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks @DreamerMW ! :-) good to know -- how recently were you there..? I'm hoping it's changed (though to be honest if I were forced to chose between the MSN and being "b'aretz", I know which way I'd...

  23. BIDMC- interview

    CiaMia replied to nurselia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    We do have a HURST review our last 3 days (a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and then exit HESI and white coat "breakfast" (2pm ) on the Friday of our "graduation". Ugh I hope we don't have to wait 5...

  24. BIDMC- interview

    CiaMia replied to nurselia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks!! Oh gosh, those are scary stats, heh. I'm actually on MCPHS' Manchester NH campus so definitely NO stranger to a commute (and reverse commute/off hours is actually not bad at all). My one...

    CiaMia replied to nurselia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing
