  4. Umass Boston-Accel BSN: Application Process

    rloh961 replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  5. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2011

    rloh961 replied to rloh961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The interview wasn't bad. It seemed the interviewers' goal during the interview was to assess which applicants are ready to take on the challenges of their program. Specifically, I was asked about...

    rloh961 replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    This is a great question, and I hope some people from the other end of the process (having completed an accelerated BSN program and done the job hunt thing) will weigh in. I have no idea if any of the...

    Good luck to you, PequeSD, in your decision making. How lucky you are to have a choice, in this competitive arena! I am very interested to see if anyone with experience in either of these programs can...

    rloh961 replied to rloh961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Somebody from a previous year said his interview was very relaxed and informal (not that you shouldn't dress nicely and behave formally until they act otherwise!). They didn't ask him to do anything;...

  10. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2011

    rloh961 replied to rloh961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I got an interview too! I was just beginning to despair, because I looked up last year's thread about the program, and that cohort was called for interviews around Feb 23rd, so I thought they didn't...

    Oh, whoops. I ended up including my CV... Oh well, too late to change that now. I re-looked at the info session packet and it said they'd inform people of interviews in the last week of February. I...

  13. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    rloh961 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I couldn't say whether this will set a precedent or not; I do think it's a reflection of the current economic times, though. It's my understanding that there is often either a nursing shortage or a...

  14. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    rloh961 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have read this entire post with fascination. I'm even earlier in my nursing career than the rest of you -- I've just applied to nursing school and am waiting to hear back. Nursing is a career change...

    rloh961 posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    rloh961 replied to NewbieNeedsHelp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Scooter321, I'm SO not qualified to answer your questions, but see if that will stop me! I don't know how applying for jobs works while still in school and pre-NCLEX, but one thing I would suggest is...

    rloh961 replied to NewbieNeedsHelp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The many, many threads on this board about the tough job market for nursing grads in the Boston area are so disheartening and scary! I have been planning on applying for accelerated BSN programs this...

  18. ABSN GPA Dilemma!

    rloh961 replied to Kaliangel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think a lot of us were the same way, and admissions committees must see it all the time. People with poor early college grades because they didn't take it seriously, but who have since grown up and...
