Does anyone have any info on Salem State's nursing program? I've tried the website, but I can't really find much there.

Yea I actually just sent you a message

I got my rejection letter today and after only 2 weeks ... I guess now its time for me to look into ABSN programs again... Good luck to those still in the running

I also forgot to mention that I was reading another message board and saw something I have to post here. As it turns out, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences saves more seats for transfers first followed by freshmen students. There is very lim...

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 all about networking with clinical instructors an...

Ok so I retract what I said about ****** as she is not the person you would want to get in touch with (she's actually with another school xD). Again my mistake and I apologize. The person you would want to get in touch with is ***** the actual Admiss...

No prob Jaz we're all in the same boat together :) and I agree with you: it's really never over until that letter comes in the mail and until then the torture continues. About the clinicals I'm sorry I meant to say whoever is in charge of putting tha...

No problem Dina :)... Idk about the clinical site thing I've heard from students at other schools that they can pick their placements and from some others that they those in charge pick them for the students.

Hi TREndzetta!! UMASS Boston's traditional nursing program is pretty competitive. I went to the information session back in September and here are some of the things they discussed: Fall deadline: Feb. 1st Spring deadline: Nov. 1st There were 1300 ap...

Hi DinaMaria!! It's pretty competitive. I went to the information session back in September and here are some of the things they discussed: Fall deadline: Feb. 1st Spring deadline: Nov. 1st There were 1300 applicants for Fall 2011, out of that number...

Hi jaz, Congrats on making it as far as you have!! I hope you get in :)... I haven't seen anyone else on these boards (that I know of) mention that they've applied to the traditional program. I handed everything into the admissions office in person o...

The spring semester deadline is today. I hope anyone who applied got everything in on time! I just dropped everything off yesterday and now the waiting game begins... Good luck to all who applied!! :)

Thank you!! I wish you all the best as well :)... The deadline for the Spring semester is Nov 1st and the deadline for the Fall semester is Feb 1st. If you do choose to apply I hope you get in!

I am always so indecisive about applying to accelerated programs (mainly because of the pace and time) and you have just reaffirmed my decision to stick with traditional options and ADN programs. Also, I'm really surprised to hear about the clinical ...

No problem :) I don't know why but school seems to be harder after you've gotten a Bachelors degree, especially if you're going for a second Bachelors or an Associates degree (Masters programs are supposed to be harder so they don't count xD)

It definitely does suck and the sad thing is I've applied to many of those positions and still no word, but I will keep all of you updated and I will make sure to pass any good info I get along :)... OAN: I have noticed that Tufts Medical Center is l...

I think that what others have told you sounds about right. To my knowledge, a lot of places would want you to have an MSN to be able to run such programs at the managerial level, although some locations will be content with you having the BSN along w...

Hi kristinafaith, I would say that you should keep taking classes and try to bring your GPA up as high as you can (and as much as you can afford). Also you can explain your circumstances surrounding your transcript in your application essay and/or in...

I was reading this thread and I was wondering if either of you had given any thought to applying to UMass Boston's traditional program. They take students in both the Spring and Fall semesters (as transfer students and as ppl seeking a secondary degr...

Thank you Celeste and Lilkuz!! I've been applying to many places all over the place and I also have no experience either, but I've taken Medical Terminology and I am in the middle of applying to schools. I have been interviewed by two Boston area hos...

Hi kristinafaith!! In my opinion I think that everything you're doing is great and I think you're on the right path. Have you signed up for any info sessions at UMass or made an appointment to meet with an admissions counselor? Doing those two things...

Hi Gerri!! Thank you for the words of encouragement, I really do appreciate it :)... I actually graduated with a Bachelors degree a little over a year ago and was looking to get my nursing degree through a community college ( saving)... The main pre-...

I have to agree with Geri on this one. I had applied for the day RN program and I didn't get in with my 3.343 gpa (even though I got Dean's list in the Spring semester). When I finally spoke to the woman in charge, she told me that the minimum gpa ac...

Would anyone know what the minimum GPA is to get into the traditional program? (with and without having taken any pre-reqs)
