  1. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Hang in there, all you Columbians!! And you too Smile, down at JH! Do you guys get a break before Fall term?
  2. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Gen, How are you? I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to respond to your posts about your husband, housing, etc. I hope things are more on an even keel now. I absolutely think you are making the right...
  3. Direct-entry MSN programs

    I totally agree with bruinlaura. These accelerated and direct entry programs aren't about to flunk large numbers of students and make thier selections process look bad. If you can get in with their...
  4. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Eeee gads! I'm so sorry you are having such a weird side effect from your meds. Prolactin is supposed be a "feel good" hormone. I did feel more relaxed while sitting down to nurse my girls, but when...
  5. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Gen, I'm so sorry to hear about your blow out with your hubby. I have certainly had my fair share with mine. I do think school stress makes me less "present" than I perhaps could be. I think your...
  6. GRE scores? Choosing grad schools?

    I think Gen's right about the min GRE scores. But if you are already an RN and have your ADN or BSN- I don't think you need anything near a 4.0. If you are changing careers to nursing, and applying...
  7. Direct-entry MSN programs

    That's great about the apt and the boyfriend- sorry about the bronchitis. So, you get to live in the dorms for as long as you need to and then move out whenever you find an apt? Are you locked into...
  8. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Oh, and also- both stores carry stethescopes. Uniforms for America in Watertown Sq has a better selection.
  9. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Hi Kim! I got the Dansko clogs (the ones without the back) at a store near my home called Uniforms for America in Watertown Sq. They carry Dansko Porfessionals and I believe they were about 95.00....
  10. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Hey Gen! Good to hear from you. I'm glad your fin aid and housing is falling into place. I finished up my orgo class two weeks ago. It was intense, but really interesting. I liked it a lot. I'm...
  11. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Hi Heather! Welcome to allnurses! This is a great site and this has been an awesome thread for support in the direct entry application/prepraration process. It sounds like your program is an...
  12. Direct-entry MSN programs

    I think our program has a pass rate in the 90s as well- though I'm not sure of the exact numbers. At the info session they said that last year everyone in the MEPN program passed the NCLEX- but I...
  13. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Good luck with Orgo Gen- I just finished Orgo last week and it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. It is a very cumulative science though- everything builds on what you last learned- so it's...
  14. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Hi Gen! BC's program has 40 credits for the RN piece which takes 12 months. The tuition is 876.00 per credit hour or a little over 35K. The masters portion has 30 credits at the same tuition so the...

    Hey guys! I'll christen this new thread with a question for all you who have started in your programs. What have you been most surprised by? A class you thought you wouldn't like but did, the types...

  19. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Great! Thanks guys, I'll start with Danskos and go from there. The plastic/rubber type clogs actually appealed to me because I figured they would be really easy to clean. But I'd not thought about...
  20. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Hey current nursing students at Columbia and Johns Hopkins- what kind of shoes did you get and do you like them? I think this was covered a while back- but I couldn't find the page. have to buy...
  21. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Oh my gosh elizabells- that is the coolest thing I've heard in a while!! Thanks so much for sharing- because this puts back into perspective why I'm going into nursing in the first place. Sure our...

    Gen that's great news!!! I'm glad DePaul was able to give you some info in advance of the official decision.
  23. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Yeah, Univ. of Washington has had the top ranked MSN program for years, I think. Anywho- to answer Bree's stats question- here's my info: Applied to: BC, MGH Institute, Regis College Accepted to all...
  24. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Thanks elizabells! I'm a fairly big drama queen myself (but I've got nothing on my 2 yr old!). I guess Orgo/Micro is such drudgery, that I've forgotten that if the content were actually interesting,...
  25. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Oh my gosh you guys I'm so nervous for the fall! If you all are overwhelmed already I don't know how I will be able to cope! I'm in week one of my four week overlap of my 6 wk Orgo and 10 wk Micro...
