Hi all, I just got the call that I was selected for an interview! Has anyone else heard anything? And to those who also applied, where else are you looking? I've applied for the FNP at Simmons, MGH, and BC as well. Good luck to everyone!

Hi de2013, Simmons is currently my first choice. I have do have a relatively high GPA based on the way Simmons calculates it because of a 6 credit course I took in college and aced. But I was a chemistry major, so my GPA isn't as high as it could be with a different major (I like to be challenged). I have been working at BWH as a lab tech for the past two years, which has been an amazing experience. I love the lab I'm in, but I'm really ready to start my career. I'm wondering if Simmons has clinical placements outside of Boston. I have a really strong interest in rural medicine, and am hoping to go back to the hilltowns of Western MA when I finish school to start a family practice while also spending a little time in the greater Springfield area (really poor, lots of underserved individuals). I am also wondering if there is any focus on transgender medicine at Simmons. Western MA is a relatively progressive area with a relatively large trans population. Hope you're enjoying your time at Simmons!

Hi, I'm applying to the main Boston area Direct-Entry MSN programs (BC, Simmons, MGH, and Northeastern), hoping to get a Family Nurse Practitioner degree. Just wondering if anyone else on this forum is either applying or is currently a student. I'm really excited, but I'm super nervous as well. Hoping to hear from some other people. If anyone else wouldn't mind sharing their GPA, major, and work/education experience that would be great. I was a Chemistry major with a 3.5ish GPA. I'm finishing up some of the Bio pre-reqs now. I am currently working for one of the big hospitals in Boston as a technical research assistant looking at platelets and their roles in metastatic cancers (just had my first paper as a second author come out in August!). Good luck to every one else who is applying!
