    PennyS replied to kbellrn's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    This is the first time I applied. Good

  2. Is it possible to take A&P 1 and 2 together

    PennyS replied to pookiebaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may be able to take them in one semester as an accelerated option. The community college where I took my prereqs offers them in one semester and they are 7-8 weeks long. So you would take...

  3. MGH ABSN Summer 2013

    PennyS replied to kbellrn's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Me! Did you get an email from them a few days ago? They were asking for fall grades to be submitted but my prereqs are complete. I assume it was a mass email. They did say decisions will be sent...

  4. UMass Boston accelerated BSN 2013

    PennyS replied to abqbbq's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think they intentionally made it vague to see what people come up with. I plan on putting a more personal spin on it. I don't think they are looking for any of us to write an essay about the...

  5. UMass Boston accelerated BSN 2013

    PennyS replied to abqbbq's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I can only answer your first question as I just attended the Info session this past week. They said to be very choosy and only send two recommendations. They said they get tons of applications and...

  6. Simmons: Former or current ABSN students

    PennyS replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Good luck! I am hoping to submit everything by Dec. 1st. My laptop just died and thankfully, I had backed up everything just before it happened. I would have freaked if I needed to recreate...

  7. Simmons: Former or current ABSN students

    PennyS posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am applying for a Summer 2013 start (18 month program). I attended an info. session and I thought they specifically said no interviews. The application packet, however, states that an interview is...

    PennyS replied to kbellrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lol! I never noticed the date! I am always late to the party. I saw on the MA board you applied to MGH. Me too! Best of

  10. Quincy College A&P I

    PennyS replied to kbellrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who is your A&P professor? I took all my prereqs at QC and had a great experience. A&P is a lot of reading and memorization. I also had to do a 20 page research paper for a&P

  11. Anyone here from Boston MA?

    PennyS replied to EmmKay's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    As of right now you can apply to Curry, MGH, and Simmons without having all prereqs completed. At MGH, you can have one in progress the semester before the program starts. At Curry you only need to...

  12. Anyone here from Boston MA?

    PennyS replied to EmmKay's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The UMass Boston Accel deadline this year is Feb. 1st and you do have to have all your prereqs completed prior to applying. Starting with the 2014 class, the deadline is changing to Nov. 1st and they...

  15. Anyone here from Boston MA?

    PennyS replied to EmmKay's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Community college is definitely the most inexpensive route to take. I completed all my prereqs at Quincy College. I was also running into the problem with "my prereqs having prereqs". QC was the...

  18. A&P with Chemistry

    PennyS replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What else do you have going on....work, family commitments, etc. For example, I work part-time (15-20hrs per week) and have 4 boys (10, 8, 5, 3). I could not have handled both. I could have added in...

  19. What class to take with Chemistry?

    PennyS replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can definitely take Chem with Psych. I just would steer away from the accelerated class. If you take the accelerated, are you going to try and squeeze a second accelerated course in the same...

  20. What class to take with Chemistry?

    PennyS replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with PP. I would take the regular online psych. While the material is not difficult, I think the 5 week coupled with Chem plus your full time job plus caring for your children would be...

  21. What class to take with Chemistry?

    PennyS replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is a 50/50 toss up. Are they both introductory or is the Psych - Growth &

  22. Concerns about admissions

    PennyS replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it possible to include an explanation with your application? Some of the schools I am applying to let you include a document if you feel that your academic record does not accurately reflect your...

  23. Should I take Introductory Chemistry or General Chemistry?

    PennyS replied to Bazi-preNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take Gen. Chem as I think it will better prepare you for your nursing classes &

    PennyS replied to learningmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the Boston to area so I am applying to Simmons, MGH, UMass Boston and Curry. I am really worried about the schedule. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic and he works a rotating schedule so...

  25. Stay at home mom...scared to go back to school

    PennyS replied to learningmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I certainly understand how you feel but know that you are not alone! And I am sure you can see that by the responses you are receiving. I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I have 4...
