  1. x-post: CORI and self disclosure

    Jess RN posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    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...

  2. Mother baby nurse on Oahu

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

    Thanks xj3! My husband's cousin works at Kaiser- so I think I will send my resume along to him before the move and see if I can line up an interview for when we arrive on-island. I'm thinking if HI...

  3. Mother baby nurse on Oahu

    Jess RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi- I am a new nurse I will have been in my current unit (postpartum and newborn nursery) for two years in Oct. My husband grew up in Honolulu and his family (parents, brother, uncle, cousins) live...

  4. Boston College Master's Entry

    Jess RN replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on your acceptance! I am at BC in the Master's Entry program and I love it. I had med-surg clincals at NEMC last semester, and they were good- but I didn't get to do/see as much as I would...

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

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

    I had graduated from undergrad in '96 and I applied to my DE programs in 04. I asked my prof who I took A&P 1 and 2 with for a ref and he did a great job. My other two refs were from the Medical...

  6. NP education - a rant

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

    Thanks lilpeanut and NhavenRN for your input and for that great link to the aacn article. I guess my point in my earlier post was that I am in my DE NP program to become a nurse. When and whether I...

  7. NP education - a rant

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

    Did they have a hard time just because they lacked nursing exp or was it because those helpful, experienced nurses were giving them a hard time as well? Just because MDs can be miserable to each other...

  8. NP education - a rant

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

    See, this is the attitude that just baffles me. Why not reserve judgement and give students what they are in clinicals for- a learning experience, not a whole lot of attitude on top of that. The...

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

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

    LOL I love it! Yeah, I agree that it is probably slightly easier to get into a DE program than to get into Harvard or Princeton as an undergrad... but it's still pretty darn hard! And back me up...

  10. Direct-Entry Masters Program Pre-Requisites (Mass)

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

    Hi Becky, I took Organic Chem (a prereq for BC and darned hard to find without a qualifying prereq itself) at Curry College in Milton. My teacher Marie Turner was great. It was a summer sesson class...

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

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

    I only ended up taking one prereq online- (micro w/lab through ccconline) but my school (BC) had no problem accepting it. I would check with your schools (where are you applying?) before enrolling,...

  12. Rotavirus

    Jess RN replied to student4ever's topic in General Nursing

    Rotavirus is the worst! My whole family (me, hubby, and our two little ones) had it last spring. Ugh. Hope you are feeling better soon!

  13. Microbiology online with Lab ??

    Jess RN replied to RNinJune2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ccconline has one- I took it last summer. It was really easy and it had a lab. Good luck! -Jess PS, you do have to buy your own microscope if you don't have access to one in a science

  14. Direct Entry MSN program 2

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

    Woo hoo!!!:balloons: :balloons: Congrats on your scholarship- that's amazing! I got into both of those schools, and got a merit scholarship from BC, but nothing from MGH. So I think it's probably...

  15. Let's talk about different approaches to school

    Jess RN replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It sounds like you already know what you would be most comfortable with. :chuckle I started nursing school this past fall after taking one pre req at a time for the past two years. I have a 3 yr...

  17. Direct Entry MSN program 2

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

    Jess here- I'm a first year at BC. I'm part time working on lecture classes this year- will start clinicals in the fall. I'm on a 4 year plan for a 2 year program! :chuckle

  18. Direct-entry MSN programs

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

    No- I didn't think you meant me- but the less "thread-time" this kind of stuff is given- the better. And we *definitely* don't need another "entry to practice minimum" debate! :roll

  19. Direct-entry MSN programs

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

    You are absolutely right elizabells. Sorry for going off on my little tirade guys.

  20. Direct-entry MSN programs

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

    The whole DE vs RN before MSN has been done so many times on these boards. I too plan to work at the bedside for a while (and maybe permanently if I like it!) to gain experience. I don't worry too...

  23. Bc

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

    If I remember correctly, BC cashed my check either the week before or after I got my letter. I remember thinking it was waaaay late- Regis and MGH both cashed them in late Jan. I guess BC doesn't...

  24. Bc

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

    I am a first year in the master's entry program at BC, and I remember hearing from them last year the second week of March. This year they have gone to an all-electronic application process, so I'm...
