    CEG- Thanks so much for this reassurance and encouragement! I do try to make it into real clothes each day- but man, some days it is hard!! :chuckle Staying at home with young kids is hard work....

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, you guys are awesome!!! Thanks you so much for telling me I'm not abusing my kids by sending them to daycare. I have worked so hard for this and really want to see it all fall into place. I...

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gen- Thanks so much for this post. I struggle so much with this "mommy guilt". I just got of the phone with my mom (who stayed at home with me and my bros but was miserable) and she was like "well...

  6. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perfect! He actually thinks I should got to MGH. He thinks it is more focused on practice than theory. And also he gives a lot of weight to gut instinct- and I had a much better feeling at MGH's...

  7. Direct Entry Programs: MGH or BC

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I jsut wanted to post back here that I was accepted at BC and MGH!!! I'm so excited- I have no idea how I will choose. Celine- thanks so much for all your help and information!!

  8. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    According to BC as well as a student on these boards currently in the program: 1/3 of the class. This is in contrast to MGH who said that less than 10% of their class breaks after the RN portion. BUt...

  9. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in such shock right now I totally don't know. I am worried about the clinical piece- but many people at BC take a break to work as an RN- so you could make up the hours there. Because it has...

  10. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AACCCKK!!! CONGRATUALTIONS! Jen I'm so happy for you! I am right there with you- I never thought I would get to choose between three schools! YAY!! :balloons: :balloons:

  11. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Max, Smile, bruinlaura, Jen and Chris! No, I didn't get any financial assitance from BC either. I think I'm probably not one of the the uber-elite who actually got money from the schools they...

  12. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And I just got an acceptance letter from Boston College!!!!! I'm in shock. I can't believe that now I get to choose between my three schools!!!!!

  13. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think both schools are great but MGH may be a little better known nationally? Simmons has a great reputation locally though- so if you will be staying in the Boston area it should be fine. If...

  14. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a drag about fin aid- but I'm not too surprized. is that 18500 max per year or total for the whole program? If I go to Regis I have Chem I andII as well as micro. If I go to MGH I have...

  15. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Gen! I can't believe your wait! Ugh! I'm so glad too, though that you have one in the bag! :)

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks smile and seahorse! I think it's starting to sink in!!! Coolness! :)

  17. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh that's good to know. That makes sense- because it's all about the size of their endowment that determines how much money a school actually has to give, right? And also, I think schools arent as...

  18. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey do you mind if I ask if your letter had any scholarship info?

  19. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow maxwell, that's three of us now!!!! Yay!! Congratulations!! :balloons: :balloons:

  20. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I didn't have kids- MGH, no doubt. I think I would even choose MGH over BC. But Regis' less intense schedule is reeeealy appealing to me even though it's not as well known a school and doesn't...

  21. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Woooo hoooooo!!!!! :balloons: :balloons: Big congrats Jen!!! We could be classmates in the fall! Nope- no scholarship info in my letter- but I got the sense from the Acceptance Agreement...

  22. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I would think so! I laughed at your earlier post about shoveling a good path for the mailman. This morning I made my huband be extra sure there was a wide safe path from the street to the...

  23. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I called my hubby at work to tell him and he was like- "we have to celebrate... let's put the kids to bed early and we can all get an extra hour of sleep!" Sad- but with two little kids sleep is a...

  24. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jen makes a great point too- that different schools value different things. Was it Elizabells who got into Columbia and didn't get into Penn or UCSF? They are all comparable schools and highly...

  25. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Diana! I didn't apply to SImmons, so I don't know if I would have gotten in there. But my stats sound similar to yours. GPA: 3.5 undergrad, A s in prereq classes, Gres Q+V=1290 AW=6, I...
