    I know its been about three years since anyone commented on this post, but I was wondering if anyone would know of the minimum GPA for an accepted student to Salem State? Also, what exactly is the...

    UMASS Boston 2012 traditional BSN

    SailorVee93 replied to jaz_bos's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    SailorVee93 replied to jaz_bos's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If you're a transfer student it will take between 2.5-3 years to graduate from the nursing program at UMass Boston. I don't think it's impossible to get a nursing job from a Boston-area hospital; it's...

    SailorVee93 replied to sutanuka's topic in Massachusetts Nursing
