  1. Hi, Anyone currently in a Regis nursing program (in MA) could lend me good insight here but I'd especially love to hear from anyone in the Part-Time BSN program. I was recently accepted and think the...
  2. Hi sj10125, I have experience shadowing in many different areas of nursing and I've been working in the veterinary field for years where I learned a lot about meds, injections and the like. It's...
  3. Northeastern Direct-Entry NP

    Hi ijustwanttoknow, no problem! I just typed 'northeastern' into the search engine for this site and it was one of the links listed below that. I've also heard that the online option is easier to get...
  4. I have ~3.6 overall and ~3.9 in my prereqs and I applied for the neonatal track. I know my GPA is pretty low but I'm hoping my experience in the medical field helps! Anyone
  5. Northeastern Direct-Entry NP

    Hi Ijustwanttoknow, I saw on one thread yesterday that someone had been offered an interview and they said they think they will be making more calls this week and next week so don't get too nervous...
  6. hopefulnurse24 I'm not sure I remember, I just know mine was being offered so that's all I cared about =/ I want to say that she told me they are working on including all specialties but I'm not 100%...
  7. Oh no! I hope you still applied. Hear me out before you form an opinion about this, but NU's Direct Entry program also has an online version of the program. It's simply because they don't have the...
  8. Spring schedule too much?

    Ah! So weird I literally am finishing up a semester with very similar classes! I took 17 credits - AP1, Nutrition, Developmental Psych and Statistics. I lost 2 hours a day commuting back and forth to...
  9. Decisions decisions

    I think you need to consider some more important factors in your decision. Think about what you actually like about each career you're considering and what you don't like. Not just how hard it is to...
  10. BSN or entry Level MSN?

    I'm in the same boat! I have been trying to figure it out for months, accelerated BSN or Direct Entry. For me, I think that getting a BSN first would help me to get experience working as an RN to...
  11. What specialty are you considering?

    I wish I knew! I feel like I change my mind every other day. One day I can see myself working with geriatrics, the next with kids or even neonates. One specialty I just can't see myself going into in...
  12. Fall Semester 2012

    I'm taking statistics, Microbiology w/ lab, Nutrition and A&P 1 with lab. Good luck everyone!
  13. I definitely think you should go for it. Nursing school is going to be extremely challenging so there is no reason why you shouldn't start pushing yourself now. That way you hopefully won't be too...
  14. Just accepted! Fall 2012

    How exciting! Congratulations!! Not to be a downer, but I keep hearing that the easy part is getting in. Make sure you stay focused and you will have a rewarding experience =)
  15. I am going to be applying for accelerated BSN and Direct Entry programs in the Boston area for Fall 2013. I STILL cannot decide whether I should go with an ABSN or DE program. Part of me wants to be...
  16. Great advice, thanks
  17. NEU Direct Entry Online?

    Thanks Itcwall! I actually met up with an admissions advisor for this program the other day and I learned so much about it. The flexibility of the online classes would be great for someone who has to...
  18. country73 18 classes each semester?? How did you even get those to all be scheduled around each other and when did you sleep!? haha I am impressed. But I think you will be fine, like everyone else you...
  19. NEU Direct Entry Online?

    Hi everyone! I'm hoping to apply to this program for next fall '13. Has anyone actually started it yet? If so, please let me know how it's going! This program would be great for me since I will be...
  20. Northeastern DE Nursing program

    That doesn't sound too bad then. If anything I would still be glad to get in just so I have that option. I'm wondering if the tuition is less expensive and if it's "easier" to get into than the...
  21. Direct Entry programs are for people who wanted to get their masters in a nursing specialty but currently don't hold a nursing degree. In order to be accepted into a direct entry program you need to...
  22. What should I do?

    I think it probably would've been more helpful if you got it earlier on (I wish I had too). If you take the class in the fall and start nursing school in the spring I wouldn't do it. Chances are you...
  23. Deciding what school.. Is this a no brainer?

    I agree, definitely compare the NCLEX pass rates. I honestly think you should stick with the university you are at, especially if you are comfortable with it. From reading your post, you sound a...
  24. Hi everyone! I'm a new member but have been reading many of the threads on this site for a while now and LOVE how helpful it has been! Anyway... I have a weird situation. I have always thought about...
  25. How important is experience?

    Thanks for your advice! A couple of my top choices strongly recommend it so I will definitely follow up with them. Do you mind me asking what state your from? All of the programs I have been looking...
