  1. Waiting to hear from Curry College Accel program for class of 2013???

    LGD2011 replied to kymmy111's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Did anyone attend an info session? I went to one but got lost, so was very late and missed most of it. The speaker did talk about the prereqs being from a good school is always impressive and having...

  2. LPN's in hospice?

    LGD2011 replied to sclpn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The hospice my agency used assigned an RN, LPN, HHA, MSW, and chaplain to every patient, but they are a very large agency. The RN was considered the primary nurse and would alternate home visits with...

  3. Rating classes and/or teachers

    LGD2011 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I noticed the same thing, multiple ratings with the same spelling mistakes (This teacher is grate). Another poster mentioned it in their negative review and it was removed from the

  4. Waiting to hear from Curry College Accel program for class of 2013???

    LGD2011 replied to kymmy111's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I applied too! They changed the application date from last year, so our notification will be a month later. At the info session I think they said letters will be sent out May

  5. I need to make a decision: new grad MGH ICU or ONC floor.

    LGD2011 replied to newnurs02's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster. Finish your commitment to the oncology floor. You're still able to complete courses while working, so it sounds like you are already in a good situation. Sure the grass...

  6. Question about Prereq's

    LGD2011 replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    From what I understand: Curry requires Chem 101, MGH requires Chem 101 and 102 (if some organic is included), Simmons requires Organic Chem specifically, which you probably can't take without taking...

  7. Curry Accel-BSN

    LGD2011 replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes, I went to the info session and they don't want recommendations. Although then the speaker said something like, unless they really make an impression or come from a certain person. Someone on this...

  8. Full course load during summer?

    LGD2011 replied to natkoz82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1 and 2 last summer, but my school divides summer session into two parts. I think it depends on what type of student you are and how much time you can study at home. For me, A&P...

  9. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    LGD2011 replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. That sounds too intense. I've heard of 80% to pass, but never higher. I guess it depends on your confidence level. I've gotten A's in prerequisites, but having never taken an actual nursing...

  10. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2011

    LGD2011 replied to rloh961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I didn't apply there, but at another school's info session they said part of the application is how well you can follow directions. If you include things they don't want, it won't help you. On the...

    LGD2011 replied to dreamagain18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the info. Jennifer0512 - Good luck on the

  12. Anyone starting Regis College, MA this fall 2011

    LGD2011 replied to dreamagain18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was confused by something on the Regis website. Under the different nursing pathways chart, it says you can exit the direct entry program after getting the BSN portion. Does anyone know if people do...

  13. Applications are IN!!

    LGD2011 replied to CiaMia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm applying for Spring 2012. If I don't get in, I'll be applying to other schools that start Summer or Fall

  14. Never give up...I got into nursing school!

    LGD2011 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Students

    Good luck in school! It's wonderful that you can find something positive out of tragedy. I wish you and your family a future of happiness and

  15. Applications are IN!!

    LGD2011 replied to CiaMia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Nope, I took AP last summer. I'm only taking statistics now. Curry requires: AP 1 and 2, Chem 1, Micro, Statistic, and Human Growth and Development. They don't have a time limit on the courses and...

  16. Awkward Situation

    LGD2011 replied to jesuslovesme's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should feel awkward. You knew the situation wasn't right for you and giving notice quickly enabled the hospice to hire someone else from the applicants who were just recently...

  17. Applications are IN!!

    LGD2011 replied to CiaMia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I worked in residential with individuals with Downs and Alzheimer's. It's what got me interested in nursing. I'm only at MGH one day a week, but we might run into each other at MassBay! I'm ready to...

  18. Awkward Situation

    LGD2011 replied to jesuslovesme's topic in General Nursing

    Have you already quit the hospice job? I don't know if three days is really enough time, but that's up to you. If you really can't stand it, by all means apply to the nursing home. If you get an...

  19. Applications are IN!!

    LGD2011 replied to CiaMia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow we have similar experiences! I left my full time DD managment position to take prereqs at MassBay and work part time at MGH. I've only applied to Curry College so far, but can't wait to hear back...

  20. can anyone explain what an online course is actually like?

    LGD2011 replied to cdrcan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took one course that was partially online and recently dropped another online course. The course I took partially online, I think would have been fine taking completely online. The teacher posted...

  21. Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

    LGD2011 replied to questionableresource's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Based on MGH's website your chemistry class has to include some organic chemistry. You don't need to take Organic Chem specifically. At the community college where I'm taking my pre-reqs, Chem 2...
