How is housing managed? Is it very similar to undergraduate dorms - by that I mean, do you have overbearing RAs peeking in your room? How far do you have to go to get any
MGHIHP isn't technically part of MGH anymore. If you want to live in Boston or the general New England area, MGHIHP is fine. You do not necessarily have a hookup with MGH - if you've already worked...
madley, your public transit breakdown is incredibly helpful! Are there any sort of student discounts - either through the transit system itself, or through
I think I'm going to be completely nauseated for the next 8 days. I was nervous but dealing until I saw the email. At least now we know for sure it'll be the
To be honest I've been a useless employee since I got the news. Especially if I'm going to Columbia, I've only got two more months in this position! As my old nursing supervisor used to say, I've...
Yeah, I've already paid one small deposit to hold a spot. I'm planning on my next deposit to be my final decision. Columbia sent out their supply shopping list and I'd rather not spend $500+ on...
Rochester is killing me. They informed me on Tuesday, and want my deposit by next Friday. It's not a cheap deposit, either. I'm not super stressed about MGH since I don't expect I'll pick them. I went...
If you paste exactly what they said in the email into the facebook search box, it'll come up. It's a closed group so an administrator has to approve your request to
So I reworked the numbers and it looks like a total of $196000 (including cost of living). I double counted a few things when I crunched the numbers last week. Then most students get $25k the first...
Eh I'm guessing that article is targeted at undergrads with significant debt, and those with debt from programs that don't pay very well. They also indicate the issue with student debt and home buying...
I know the Brigham hires MGH grads, as do some smaller hospitals outside of Boston. My own primary care office has a few MGH NPs. I don't know how MGH grads fare outside of MA. Also, PMHNPs are in...
I like MGHIHP. Between Columbia and MGHIHP, however, Columbia is the better school for my specialty (psych). They didn't give me any scholarships, either, so that made them easy to write off. It's...
For me, the possible research connections and reputation may help me get into a doctorate program down the line. That's Columbia's biggest asset. Other schools (ahem Vanderbilt) could offer that but...
Ha! I was thinking that before I left work: what if I got into Columbia, Rochester and Vandy but NOT my local safety school? I did get into MGH. But no scholarship was mentioned. So the other schools...
$1000 for a ROOM in an apartment? Depends on where you're looking. I currently live in a one-bed in Brighton, which we lucked out on for $1300. Very doable to find a one-bed for under $1500, studios...
My specialty was listed in the letter ("Direct Entry Master of Science in Nursing Psych-Mental Health Lifespan NP program at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, with classes commencing Fall 2015....
I'm in for psych AMPNN! Annoyingly, but not surprisingly, the deposit deadline is Feb 27th for me even though that is only 10 days away. AHHH. FNP, what are you thinking about Rochester? NK didn't say...
Thanks for the link! I'll probably hold off on that application for the next 10 days. I'm trying not to stress too much about housing since I really don't know where I will end up. I'd like to see the...
