Is it possible that once you have your BSN to then start a masters program in psychology? Meaning that you're left with two degrees in two different areas? Also, without having to start psychology from square one, but direct entry from a BSN?

What is the acceptance rate of this progam? Do people accepted get to live on campus at Regis, or is this a commuter program? What did students like / dislike about the program?

If I don't get accepted directly into the nursing major, but get accepted into the college, do I then have to choose a new major? Or can I be an undeclared major, take pre reqs, and reapply to the nursing program later?

jhaupert813 Thank you! I wasn't sure if I would have to commit to a different major my freshman year. Your reply was very helpful. Thanks for your help! :)

Boston College vs. Northeastern University? If you attended either school.. What schools did you attend previous to BC or NEU? Why did you choose their Pediatric NP program? Thanks in advance! -Sarah

I am a high school student who is very hopeful about a future in nursing. After joining this website I've received tons of great advice and points of view on my own threads, as well as reading posts from other people. However, I've recently seen a lo...

Mom to 4, that is awesome! Continuing into graduate school is a great choice for many. I'm sure you'll get many new opportunities for doing so! Congratulations! :) Lynx, I know that people vent. This would be a much better place to do it than while y...

Many have discussed this topic, but I want to know, more specifically, about the number of lobe piercings allowed at your school or workplace. I am aware that I will most likely need to remove my upper cartilage piercing as well as my rook one.. But ...

Woooo! Then hopefully I'll get lucky and be able to keep all of mine in all the time. :) I've always wanted to get my nose pierced, but I've avoided it not knowing if it would be accepted in nursing or not. Again, it will all probably depend on the s...

Yes! I have worn clear earrings in my rook before! Thank you for the link, I will look into buying some. :) They are very helpful.

Thank you everyone for your input! What I'm getting is that the nursing school's are more of an issue about jewelry than hospitals themselves, so hopefully once I'm actually working I can put my second and third sets of lobe studs back in. :) Thank y...

nik415... Ouch.. I'd always wondered why nail polish was such an issue. You bring up a good point with paint chipping into wounds. Thank you for raising that concern!

Glad to see that patient safety is in mind. :) And of course you wouldn't want to lose your ring! That would be awful.

Thank you for your input! I agree with you on the fake nail thing.. I know that they can carry tons of bacteria and can be dangerous around patients. The bracelet thing seems kind of strange. I would think they would get in the way! Why do you choose...

I know soooooo many people have discussed the topic of ADN vs. BSN... but I need help making my decision. As of right now, I am not interested in any management positions which BSNs are often needed for. I am only interested in bedside nursing.. MAYB...

Thanks for telling me about the path you chose! :) Knowing the experiences of others is so helpful!

KelRN215, my sister in law works in human resources and hires a lot of nurses for DHMC. You're correct on them giving preference to BSNs, but in some departments are still willing to hire ADNs. What is your opinion on the RN to BSN completion options...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Another thing I've been considering is getting my ADN first, then doing an RN to BSN completion option.. This seems to be the fastest and cheapest way to get the BSN, and still have a lot of hands on tra...

I am a high school student in Vermont, and I need some help weighing out some decisions... I am a sophomore considering a technical high school in my area. The course I'm interested in taking is called Allied Medical Services. Here is the some inform...

I went on the visit, and they did so much more than I thought! There's over twelve weeks of internship time, and if you turn eighteen (which I do) during the course, than you get to shadow at DHMC! Two of the girls there are interested in maternity,...

Thank you so much! I spoke to a senior in the program now, and she's having amazing luck with it. I will post back after my visit. Thanks again! :)

Cancer is an awful thing, but is actually what led me in the direction of nursing in the first place. My dad past away last year from gastric cancer. Up until his death he had nurses from hospice coming to our home to care for him. She walked in on o...
