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

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

    Me too!!! But in a small way I prefer anxious anticipation to (possible) dissapointment and despair! LOL yeah- me too- only I'm on yahoo messenger! Did you know Harvard Business School conducts...

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

    LOL Well, who knows? It could be Thurs! But if not- I guess just try not to think about it over the weekend, easier said than done, I know! Do you have a friendly neighbor who could go and check for...

    LOL, tell me about it! I think they do- but don't care! Well, I got my mail today and.... nothing! My prediction is that we'll hear from BC this Friday and MGH next Wednesday. We'll see how my...

    I love this forum- but this is one example where it causes more stress. Knowing that your letter is en route- but not knowing whether it contains good news or bad!

    CAG Don't lose hope yet! You sound like and excellent candidate! No, you don't have direct healthcare experience- but you are in a "helping profession" and have tons of experience working with...

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

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

    Wow- that's cool! Very brave too! I know how you feel though- if you have a strong feeling that you are prompted to apply to a certain school, I think you should follow that prompting. I'm just a...

    How much can you take out in loans per year for grad school? Are there any other federal loans other than stafford?

    Max6well- where have you applied and what's your specialty?

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

    Actually, I emailed them and they said thet final decisions would be made this Friday and we should be notified the week of the 7th.

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

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

    You know, more than I would have expected. I'd say about 1/4 of the total attendees were men. The number that stayed for nursing presentation was proobably slightly less than that though. So, many...

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

    Yay! I'm glad you are feeling more hopefull! Jen- I'm so happy to hear of your boyfriend's experience turning his rejection decision around. It can happen!! Seahorse, let us know what you learn...

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

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

    So, are the alternates brought on board by specialty as well? Meaning, does one of those gerentological NPs have to decline for a spot to open up for you? Even if that is the case you have an...

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

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

    Oh Seahorse- I'm so sorry The good thing is that you are the #1 alternate. You have a good chance of getting in yet. Can you ask the admissions staff what the chances are of getting in off the...

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

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

    I'm really wondering about this now. It seems to me at least in the case of Northeastern , MGH and BC that they all get around the same number of applicants for a similar number of seats. So, really...

    Hi Jen- I have thought about Simmon's program- and would definitely look into it as a plan B. I have heard though that you can't get student loans for another Bachelors degree- so that would be a...

    Hi Raymond! I went to Providence College! I lived in RI for two years after graduation- Providence is a great little city- I miss it! That is really cool about your training and externship. I'm...

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

    Welcome Raymond! Wow- that sounds like a cool externship! Did you have to do any training or certification to be a medical assistant? What did your job duties entail working with patients? Sounds...

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

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

    Good point- my husband said the same thing. When your program is in demand you don't have to do much of the warm fuzzies to attract applicants. I actually felt at the BC info session that the...

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

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

    Aaack! Another one with a bad BC vibe! What is up with that? How can it be ranked so highly with a faculty culture that plays so poorly to prospective students?!

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

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

    What's up with all these thin envelopes?!?! Don't the schools know they should be big... or at least thick?!! :chuckle

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

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

    Fingers crossed for you! I don't know anything about being accepted as an alternate- but I'm sending good thoughts and wishes your way!

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

    Thanks Emily for sharing! That is great to know that you were successful this year re-applying! I think it really shows the schools you are serious when you re-apply. Can I ask- did you re-write...
