    As far as these boards go, two people applying DEN to Northeastern have been called for interviews; one on 2/11, the other a couple of days ago. One applied adult acute care, the other psych. I...

    I got a call from Northeastern this morning around 10:30 for an interview! >> Congratulations, Lena! Can I ask what track you applied to? The only other poster (I know of) who was called for an...

    Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    DYS NP replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This links to Bureau of Labor Statistics projected (2022) demand for RNs and LPNs: BLS statistics. Here's another to the HRSA 2012-2025 report. From these, the outlook for RNs and LPNs is not great....

    I just got an email from Simmons apologizing for the delay in reviewing DEN candidates (storm-related), and revising its acceptance/rejection notification to end of February. So it looks like another...

    Same here re. Simmons DEN. A woman on another board got a call this afternoon (Wed) for an interview from Northeastern. So at least they're getting the ball

    Hi guys, Look at 'contact preferences' on your application pages. Did you check 'general'? I did. So much for that short-lived

    DYS NP replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It helps to realize manipulation is a symptom of addiction, another chronic disease these patients have in addition to the illness they're being treated for. It's far too complex a disorder to file...

    Hah, LuvsDogs! ; ) Seems very unlikely they'd add a student before he/she even accepted, but heck, I'll take any bone

    DYS NP replied to Ashley313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, by email. I want to be clear I've heard NOTHING about acceptance; the application still says 'file under review for completion.' It was a Simmons Alert email about the snow closing. Maybe I...

    DYS NP replied to Ashley313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got a snow-day alert from Simmons. Trying not to read anything into that because they may send out to applicants as well as students, but I haven't gotten one in the past few weeks of multiple...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    DYS NP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When you were in the service, was your diet different than your pre-enlistment diet? We're you exposed to a lot of sunlight? A lot of stress? All of these cause hives. Joint pain is a hallmark of...

    Sorry, I missed your question on NP cert pass rates. Simmons has a 100% pass rate for AANP certification. I don't know what the pass rates are for the other area NP schools; probably harder to tease...

    Yes, from the info session--it was on one of the slides; to quote the presenter, "as you can see, our NCLEX rates are about the national average." You can review 2013 NCLEX rates on the MA HHS site...

    Blackskimmer, maybe it was an off night, but the MGH info session wasn't graduate-school professional to me. The first half-hour was spent promoting their online pre-reqs. I found this a turn-off...
