Hey everyone, I just came on to vent a little bit, and see if other people are feeling the same way. I'm currently nearing the end of my second to last semester of NP school and find it very hard just getting through. Commute to clinical is an hour t...

As a current Regis student, I would highly encourage that you look elsewhere. They are also just piloting the online program, and I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig for that, given how disorganized Regis is at baseline. I am almost done with the FN...

I currently have a preceptorship experience in a school clinic, and my preceptor and I wear business casual. At a clinical placement I previously had during undergrad, the school nurse also wore business casual.

I really wouldn't recommend Regis College. As BostonFNP stated, BC, MGHIHP, and Simmons are all top tier schools who provide an excellent education.

I used to have a similar attitude until a recent health issue caused me to gain a substantial amount of weight. Despite eating healthy and working out 5 times a week, I am overweight. I used to look at people who were overweight and assume that they ...

This is definitely dependent on your area. I know in the area I live in, most hospitals are requiring a BSN for new hires (I live in large metro area in the Northeast). If you don't mind working outside of the hospital setting (such as an LTC setting...

I'm actually in an accelerated NP program and we took our NCLEX after finishing our fourth semester, even though we are only awarded the BSN after completion of the fifth semester.

I'm currently in an accelerated NP program at Regis College and I am very unhappy with it. I have also found out that you must find your own preceptors for the master's portion of the program. I am strongly considering leaving the program after the b...

I will go ahead and send you a private message. :)

I would really suggest getting an RN. An LVN has a more limited scope of practice, and you will find far more opportunities as an RN as opposed to an LVN.

Thank you both very much for your input! I am still a ways out from graduating, but I will definitely take this into consideration. I figured it might be a "who you know" type of situation, unfortunately. I visited Phoenix last month and I loved the ...

I currently live in the Northeast and will be finishing up my FNP in May of next year. I was wondering what the outlook was for new grad NPs in the Phoenix area at this time. I would really like to move to a warmer climate and experience a new city. ...

So even though I am currently In NP school, I would strongly encourage you to go to PA school. I'm currently writing a research proposal for my nursing research class, and doing a concept analysis for my nursing theory class. -__- I feel that both of...

Hey yo_yosh1! It appears you are right! They used to charge full tuition per semester but starting next year will be charging based on credits taken. The cost per credit hour is now posted on the website. Lucky for you, this will probably save you a ...

I would hate to see you make a decision based on incorrect information given to you. GM students are charged the regular tuition rate for the fall and spring semester, and are charged by credit hours in the summer. The tuition goes up by about 1,000 ...

If I recall correctly, I think I ended up getting my letter at the beginning of March, but it was through the mail so I don't remember exactly how long it was between the interview and the letter I received. Do not worry about having outstanding prer...

After they have reviewed your file they will contact you to have a meeting, I wouldn't worry too much because they really don't do this very far in advance. They only contacted me for my interview 2 days before it actually took place, so expect to in...

Hello, I don't know if this helps you at all but I am currently in my second year of the direct entry program at Regis and was contacted for an interview at the end of January (although I turned my application in well before the deadline).

Hello, I am currently in the Regis NP program. Regarding finding preceptors, Regis states that it is a "collaborative process" between the student and the school. They do have a full time placement coordinator that is supposed to help, but definitely...

Hello, I am currently enrolled in a Direct Entry NP program that will award a BSN this May. I have heard from many of my clinical instructors and nurses at clinical that it would not be a good idea to become an NP without nursing experience. They sai...

I know that Regis College has a program you might look into. I am currently in their accelerated BSN-MSN program to become a Family NP.

I appreciate that I am able to complete my graduate education at Regis, but I just think that Simmons is a better school overall. It has a fantastic reputation in the Boston area with clinical connections that can't be beat. They also help find prece...

Hi there, I am currently in the direct entry masters program at Regis and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I read in the post before this that you have been accepted into Simmons. I would strongly urge you to attend Simmons rather...

Hello everyone, I'm currently a student at Regis College and would love to know how Regis is received in the community and workforce. I would love to hear from anyone in the NP program about if you feel Regis prepared you for you NP certification exa...

Hi Leenas, I am currently in the Regis program and would be happy to talk with you about any questions you have.
