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

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

    I took A&P I last summer over an 8 weeks summer session. It was really intense- but I liked it. A girl in my class was taking A&P1, Micro and Orgo at the same time- and she was doing...

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

    Hi Jen- Thanks for your responses. I'm glad I didn't come across as a huge :stone LOL! That's good to know about Simmons. It may well be that my friend's experience had more to do with how the...

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

    Hi Jen! Nice to hear from another Boston area applicant! I didn't apply to Simmons. Isn't the direct entry program there pretty new? I have a friend who is getting her BSN (second bachelors) at...

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

    I also applied to BC- and both schools say they mail out letters the first week of March. A friend of mine applied last year (rejected from BC and wait listed at MGH) and he said he got both his...

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

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

    Yeah, I have no idea. The dean who was doing theinfosession was like- we arent the cheapest, but we do have a large endowment and we are able to offer scholarships to a good percentage of accepted...

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

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

    You know, it's not exactly what you are asking- but I was surprized to learn at the BC infosession that they let you know what scholarships and grants you've been awarded in the acceptance letter....

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

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

    I've heard Columbia is crazy expensive- even by Direct ENtry program standards (hey none of them are cheap!). I guess living expenses in NYC with housing and all would really add to that. I applied...

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

    Yay!!! Another acceptance- wooo hooo! Was Columbia your first choice? Where else have you applied?

    I am a pre-nursing student. I have done my pre-reqs and am awaiting to hear from direct entry NP programs I've applied to. I'm beginning to worry though, becaue I do have something on my record. In...

  15. CORI and background check question

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

    See, this is what worries me. I mean, I guess I just have to trust the MA BON when they say I will be able to sit for the exam as long as I declare it and it isn't on the list of "permanently...

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

    Hi Seahorse- Hang in there! I know it is dissapointing- but at least it's not a flat out rejection letter. I don't know if there is anything you can do to "lobby" yourself off the wait list- but I...

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

    I don't know the specific numbers or atios for MGH- but a friend of mine last year applied to both bc and mgh and he got rejected at bc and wait listed at mgh. does that mean it's slightly easier to...

    My gosh! What a crazy policy!!!! So, if you have a masters in say English Literature- you could teach a college level Physics class?!? That is the most bizzare thing I've ever heard. I would think...

  20. Failing A&P

    Jess RN replied to NicInNC's topic in General Students

    Good for you!!! Let us know how it pans out. I wonder how the head of the dept allowed a math teacher to teach an A&P class in the first place though? Hope it all works out!

  24. NP education - a rant

    Jess RN replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sherri- What course of academic and clinical preparation would you suggest for someone with a bachelors in an unrelated field? Just curious- because I wonder if it is not all that far off from how...
