Hi :)
I'm Jessica. I'm a graduate of Boston College, and will soon be attending the Massachusetts General Hospital, Institute of Health Professions, where i will get my BSN.
I eventually plan to become a nurse practitioner.
For now, I see myself going into oncology, but who knows. I'm sure that clinicals will change my opinion.
Hi, everyone I've been crying for the past few hours, and am making this post because I really need encouragement i just posted last week about starting my pediatric clinical. I'm a 3rd-semester...

i would't worry too much about that. for my cohort, the application deadline was 11/2, and i submitted my application late the night of 11/1. everything was in except one recommendation. i had asked...
I haven't heard of anyone getting a full scholarship, and that's just because we don't really discuss our finances or anything like that. Not saying that it isn't possible. I just know that I didn't...
