    This document lists the current accelerated bachelor's and direct-entry master's degree programs by

  2. Commute to school?

    arciedee replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is about 45 miles away, takes me an hour to get there. As the semesters have gone on, however, I am actually on campus less and less so it's not really an issue anymore. Plus there are quite...

  3. MEPNs: Have you found other RN's to be perplexed by this new role?

    arciedee replied to Arrghh_Nnnn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I, too, am in a direct-entry CNL program. A big part of the challenge has been related to the fact that the role of the CNL is new, regardless of whether you are pursuing it the traditional way or as...

  4. South NH eve/part time study?

    arciedee replied to seekingtruth's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome seekingtruth. It sounds like finances are a big concern of yours. I'm not sure there's an easy answer. I do not know of any evening/summer programs in this area. NHTI has an evening option,...

  5. Holden Health?

    arciedee replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

    I was just thinking about this the other day when I noticed on the Massachusetts board of nursing website that Holden Health in Worcester and Lowell were declared illegal nursing programs. I knew that...

  6. Direct-Entry students in MA - Licensing

    arciedee posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am a direct-entry master's student, eligible to sit for the boards this summer, graduating in December of this year. I accepted a job in Massachusetts, so am planning to get my initial licensure...

  7. Direct-Entry students in MA - Licensing

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks... I already tried asking my school, but they didn't seem to know how it works. Heck, they don't seem to be clear on what we need to do in our own state! I appreciate your reply,

  8. how do I list degrees earned?

    arciedee replied to zacsmimi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Your school should be able to tell you whether your degree is an MS vs. an MSN. I would check with them. I know we were specifically told that we will have a master of science (MS) with a major in...

  9. UNH Direct Entry

    arciedee replied to CapeJaz's topic in General Nursing

    We have not been told anything about plans to close the DEMN program. They did start a new class this past January and just scheduled an info session in May for new applicants. I do know that they...

  10. UNH Direct Entry

    arciedee replied to CapeJaz's topic in General Nursing

    I have not worked during this program, but some students in my class have been able to hold down part-time jobs (around 10 hrs/wk). I think that is about the max you would want to do and you would...

  11. UNH Direct Entry Program

    arciedee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone know anything about UNH's direct-entry MSN program? I'm thinking of applying, but it seems that direct-entry is only for the clinical nurse leadership and I'm not exactly sure what I'll be...

  12. UNH Direct Entry Program

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in General Nursing

    There are a couple other threads in this forum that you may find helpful (on the second link you'll need to read through to the second page where there is info on the UNH program):...

  13. Combining Peds and Women's Health Courses

    arciedee replied to Penguin67's topic in General Students

    For my school maternity and peds are combined into one course. In my program (a direct-entry master's program), the lectures during the first half of the semester was dedicated to maternity, the...

  14. Getting a MSN without a BSN

    arciedee replied to tracie0305's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I did not got his route myself, but I do know that my school has this option. From what I've seen they do require students take a few classes from the RN-to-BS program prior to moving on to the MS...

  15. Is a generic direct entry MSN program worth it?

    arciedee replied to MemphisTiger's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am also in a fairly "generic" direct-entry program (in clinical nurse leadership) and I think it can be a worthwhile endeavor. As with others, the financial aid issue played a significant role in my...

  16. What is the LNA training like?

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Phew, I'm relieved to know that my program is legit! The money concerns are certainly valid. I am a single homeowner and trying to live on student loans is a challenge to say the least. Many of my...

  17. i need some helppp

    arciedee replied to phillykixx17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Many BSN programs are organized so that the pre-reqs are integrated into the first year or two along with general education requirements, so you wouldn't have to take a year "off" to take pre-reqs. At...

  18. What is the LNA training like?

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    bassmasterangler, I heard that 80-something people applied my year and 24 were accepted (plus some students were waitlisted). I am not sure how many people applied for the class that is starting now....

  19. What is the LNA training like?

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's for real. It's the program that I am in. Here's the link to the details: http://www.chhs.unh.edu/nursing/demn.html It's only offered at the Durham campus. I'm not sure where in MA you are,...

  20. Program Fulfillments-Intro to Chem/Biology and The Instructors Teaching them-

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    You only need intro chem (i.e. high school level chem) to get into A&P. You do not need to take it at the college level, I think kukukajoo is just saying that there isn't a huge difference between...

  21. NLN Worries/RN Entrance Timeline

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest getting an NLN pre-entrance exam study guide. This will give you examples of test questions as well as strategies for how to study. I haven't taken the test, so others here might be...

  22. Intro to Chemistry??

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the intro chem class should fulfill the requirement for entry into the sciences. It does not count towards graduation credits because it is intended to be a replacement for high school level...

  23. Anyone else take the long road to your RN?

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    I took a couple years to work on my pre-reqs. It does seem like a long road at first. For me, it helped to think of each semester/class as a step on the journey. For each thing I completed I was one...

  24. What is the LNA training like?

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    I would check the MA board of nursing to find out whether you can apply for LPN licensure with "comparable education" (this is the term the NH BON uses to refer to RN students sitting for the exam)....

  25. What is the LNA training like?

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    bassmasterangler, are you referring to LPN or LNA? Nursing assistants in NH are licenced, hence they are referred to as LNAs here (they are certified, or CNAs, in MA). LPN is a licensed practical...
