I also don't understand how you are supposed to meet the requirement for the communication part : California Code of Regulations Section 1426 identifies the prerequisite courses required in addition to a nursing program: Communication skills, six (6)...

Hi, Just starting a thread for anyone who applied to Simmons for a 2017 start. I applied for the two year BSN as a Dix Scholar.

Hi, Just starting my application for the 2017 Fall entry- wondering if there is anyone else here who is starting too, or anyone from previous years who would be willing to give us some insight? Thanks LWU

One more thing! Definitely get in touch with admissions and ask to visit Simmons, sit in on a nursing class and speak to some students!

Hi there, I don't know if "Easy" nursing school is a thing or indeed a thing you would want :) Simmons is very rigorous, they take their reputation VERY seriously and they are particularly cautious about producing calibre nurses- for example we are t...

Hi, Congratulations! I decided against doing an accelerated program and I am doing the 2-year program at Simmons and am super glad I chose not to do the ABSN but of course that means I can't really talk about that program. I decided against MGH but i...

Looking for reviews on anyone who has rented text books from amazon? I can't afford to buy this semester, even the used ones are super pricey and this looks like the most affordable option. I'd love to hear from anyone who has used the service Thanks...

Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate the info! I definitely do NOT want a bunch of books I never look at again lying around, so I love the idea of rentals

I'm also starting Simmons in the fall 2017 but I am a Dix scholar ( adult learner) so this is a secodn career for me. I am doing the two year BSN option

What made you Mama's decide to become nurses?

Hi everyone, I wanted to set up a thread for any mom's in nursing school or moms having gone through nurisng school because I would love a place where people can share tips on what is working for them and a safe space to vent if it isnt! I would be h...

I have a few college age sitters who are great but not really always available. I have a disabled child so its not easy finding someone who can care for him and most people around casually don't want to take that on. I'm trying to see if any of the p...

My husband travels for work- maybe some of the single mama's can advise ?

Check if they accept online classes and then look at Portage learning- it's entirely online. My school is very rigorous but accepted POrtage courses with no issue

I'm also the kind of person who thrives on learning and getting good at new skills though, so the fact that nursing hasn't been touchy-feely good times is okay for me because I'm getting fulfilled in other ways. Thanks for this, I also love learning ...

I hear ya....I think we all wonder if we're scarring them forever. All I can say to that is, I had a working Mom and she was busy a lot and didn't make it to a lot of my "things" but I never doubted that she loved me and that I was super important to...

So after two long years of hard work I've been accepted at my top choice nursing school for Fall! I still have some pre reqs to get done so to motivate myself on my breaks I've been having fun with picking gear. Our school nursing scrubs are navy and...

Good for your girl! I was a mess with both my babies till they were at least 1 so I take my hat off to you for doing it with two just little ones!

So I think that is just a guideline because the actual class timmings vary. here is the link for the 16 month option so you can see your class load is http://www.simmons.edu/~/media/Simmons/Admission-and-Financial-Aid/Undergrad-Admission/Documents/Di...

Would you mama's like to do a private facebook group?

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing about white shoes, it's sort of weird they are mandatory so many places given what they are exposed to. I'm going with raspberry because why the heck not :) Will definitely get the name tag! What are these sho...

Hi Mama's! Nice to E meet you! I have two, a 5.5 year old boy and a 2.5 year old girl! I'm 38 and starting this fall too I don't think the guilt ever really goes away but I am thrilled that they both love school! Stressed about post school and how th...

Congratulations, its great that you have a choice of programs! I totally understand how much cheaper UMASS is and I think thats an mportant factor for sure. I don't know anyone in the 16 month program but I went to an info session on it and they just...
