  1. AORN Statement on Resuming Elective Surgery

    LoveThemSox posted a topic in Operating Room

    What are your thoughts on this statement? I read through it after hearing that my hospital is planning to increase the number of surgeries in as little as two weeks. I feel this is waaay too soon...

  2. Are you seeing changes due to Covid?

    LoveThemSox replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    Our system “says” they are canceling elective surgeries, but they are making excuses for surgeries that can’t wait more than a month. Basically allowing docs to argue in why they “need” to...

  3. OR nurse pursing NP

    LoveThemSox replied to scrubulator's topic in Operating Room

    There are quite a few nurses where I work that have gone back to school for NP. I agree with Rose_Queen, anyone who tells you OR nursing isn’t “real” is a waste of space. Everyone who goes back...

  4. Finding Work as a New Grad

    LoveThemSox replied to frible001's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Where were those when I graduated 4 months ago? Lol All the Winchester postings back then said "no new grads!" Best of luck to you OP. I am working outpatient so I don't have any helpful advice for...

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    For lexielou22 and anyone else who may be reading/lurking here is the response I got from financial aid, with my comments in parentheses: "[COLOR=#1f497d]We will not be awarding summer students until...

  7. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    So I tried emailing a few of my questions to the person who has sent out all the info so far. She was nice and helpful to a point. But my financial aid and health insurance questions have to go to...

  9. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    So they sent an email today with a ton of helpful info, but still not much in the way of financial aid. I think I'm going to try calling next week. I'm glad to have the textbook info finally though....

  11. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I know this thread's been a little quiet lately, but has anyone heard anything from UMass about financial aid at this point? The usual disclaimer applies: I know there's less aid available, second...

  12. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I believe that NU considers you a graduate student from day 1 of the entire program, so you'll apply for the FAFSA as a graduate student. I would double-check with the financial aid office to be sure....

  13. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Alright....anyone else interview in the last two weeks and not get an acceptance notification yet? Starting to worry over

  14. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    So my interview turned into a phone interview due to the weather yesterday. I think it went pretty well, similar to everyone else it was pretty conversational. I just dislike phone interviews in...

  15. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    @faith2014 I'm going to my interview this Thursday. I hope they don't cancel due to the "wintry mix" that's in the forecast. I just want to get this

  17. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Cherrierri: May 1 is what I saw too. However it looks like class scheduling opens March 15 so maybe the sooner we make the deposit, the sooner you get to schedule classes? Also has anyone talked to...

  18. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Clairelc, I don't think they would really hold your last 2 prereqs against you unless you had a history of failing/re-taking classes which might suggest there's a chance you won't pass those last two....

  19. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Clairelc- Yeah, I finished my last pre-req, Nutrition this past October. I applied to another program that required you to have everything completed by the application deadline. I did all the sciences...

  20. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I got called yesterday for an interview. I applied for FNP. I was offered interview spots this week or next and I just got the confirmation that I'm going for the interview next week. Good luck to...

  23. Northeastern Traditional Direct Entry

    LoveThemSox replied to skigirl470's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for starting this thread. I haven't heard anything yet, but wasn't expecting to at this point since I know we still have to interview. I think I'll hit panic mode in mid-February if I haven't...

  24. UMass Boston Accelerated BSN 2014

    LoveThemSox replied to stellakc's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm waiting too! I also applied to Northeastern so I'm waiting on that one too. I haven't wanted to call UMass admissions yet since I know with the extended deadline of Dec 1, it really hasn't been...

  25. HELP! Online Nutrition Course

    LoveThemSox posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a complete panic. I only have one prerequisite course left, Nutrition. I was planning to simply take it this fall, however I just realized that UMass Boston requires you to have all prereqs...
