  2. Most relevant/useful pre-nursing science class?

    bardone replied to bardone's topic in General Students

    triquee: thanks for the insight into Lifespan Development. I was under the impression that it'd actually be more useful in Gero. The way things look now: I'm probably going to take another GenChem...

    bardone replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    kdiem, per the website, no. MGH is a direct-entry program along the lines of UCSF's MEPN or Yale's GEPN. The MGH program might be a great choice for some, but for me it's not a good

  11. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bardone replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    MGH was also on my list, but I dropped it for a couple of reasons... some personal, some because of the program itself. In my opinion, the program does not offer enough for me to justify its high...
