    Hi crissy07, I'm in the accelerated program. You CAN work. They'll discourage you but you can definitely do it. There are 2 students who have kids and are probably working 16-20 hrs a week. I'm...

    I registered for the Summer and Fall. They did send out an email with the courses we need to register for and the specific course numbers. I'm sure they'll send you a similar email. If you PM me, I...

    cwrn1 replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Has anyone here obtained their BSN via an accelerated program? I already completed my undergrad with $17K left in loans, and am about to start an accelerated which will be close to an additional $55K...

    I know, it is steep. I thought I read since it's technically a 'graduate' program you might be able to qualify for more money/scholarships

    I want to say I read they needed deposits by May 1, but the deposit form was also for fall 2012 students, so the deadline might be sooner for the accelerated. Also - Northeastern started a new...

    You'll get set up with admissions adviser and they'll send you all the info and how to apply. They pretty much hold your hand through it and make sure you get everything. Also, the phone call is VERY...

    cwrn1 replied to cwrn1's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I did have a phone call with one of the admissions advisors and she said the program has been in the works for about a year. I think if you aren't familiar with online courses then it's something to...

    The admissions rep I spoke with said they'd give me a decision by next week. I got accepted into the UMASS Boston ABSN program and waitlessed at MGH, so if I did get into NEU I'm not sure which I'd go...

    Thanks! I know, it's so unbelievably competitive and there really isn't a 'typical' student that gets in. My acceptance letter was dated 3/2 and I received it on 3/10 - and I live 4 miles from the...

    I would include your resume. Although, during my interview they hadn't even looked at it. I was a CNA throughout college and then quit when I graduated because I just didn't make enough for it to be a...

    The interview is pretty casual. I'd stay away from jeans - look business casual so they know you're taking it seriously. I met with two of the faculty and they were very nice, however it didn't seem...

    Same here. I've been rejected from one school or another the past 2 years, and only got waitlisted at MGH this year. I send admissions an email this morning to check the time frame and they said...
