    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    She was invited to BC to speak on "clinical innovations in nursing". She didn't really talk about any specific clinical innovations- but rather spent most of her talk lamenting the derth of nursing...

  2. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think you could maybe get an extension on the 2/15 deadline if you explained you are waiting to hear from other schools. Or you could try to exert some gentle pressure on the Boston schools, and see...

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sure Gen, just PM me your address and I'll pop it in the mail for you. I think you will enjoy it- I did.

  4. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have any of you read any of her books? I read From Silence to Voice before I applied to school and Nursing Against the Odds last summer before I started my program. She spoke at BC last week. She...

  5. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm sorry your program is a drag. What's up with these prestigious schools who are disorganized and can't seem to get their act together?! I know some students in the class ahead of mine had some...

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats Janony on your acceptance to JHU! That's great! It will be a while before you hear back from Boston area schools, no? I think BC was mid- March. Where else did you end up applying and...

    Hey guys! How is everyone doing out there? I am enjoying my month long break - even though I wasn't full time- it is much needed one! :)

  10. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So sorry to hear your bad news. Hang in there. It's hard to ignore (mostly well intentioned) negative comments about nursing. When I told my mom I was applying to nursing school, she literally...

  11. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Janony, I have had the same thoughts about whether I should have gone to med school. But, like you, a the lifestyle of an MD is not appealing to me. Nor is 4 years of school and then residency so...

  12. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    BCZito is right on with this advice. We are in the same program- and I have been so frustrated this semester by the exams that force you to think like a nurse! It does not come naturally to me- and...

  13. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on finishing your apps! I think we all heard back mid-March from BC and MGH. I heard from Regis first (early March I think) then MGH the second week of March- then BC last a few days later....

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

  20. is the university wrong?

    Jess RN replied to nursing student5364's topic in Legal

    Ugh, What a terrible situation. I feel for you. I think though, that the school can't really give you an assurance on what's ok with thier clinical agencies re: prior convictions. They can tell you...

  24. Bras

    Jess RN replied to guest27716's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This was my favorite nursing bra: http://store.yahoo.com/breakoutbras/senusobyfafr.html It was very soft but had good support- and I'm very large chested when nursing (DDD). I had a Bravado too- and...

  25. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks smile and elizabells! I really agree- I think had I been at a cc, with all the waitlists and such, I would have been out of luck and they would have the next person on the waitlist registering...
