Simmons versus MGH Direct Entry Nursing

Published

Hi. I was accepted to both Simmons and MGH direct entry nursing program and have to choose.

What are the pros and cons of each program?

Thank you.

Based on MGH's website your chemistry class has to include some organic chemistry. You don't need to take Organic Chem specifically. At the community college where I'm taking my pre-reqs, Chem 2 covers that.

Hi LGD2011,

I was just curious what community college you were completing chem 2, and how you are doing/did in it. I am completing it this summer as my final pre-req to nursing school and am slightly nervous, as I found gen chem challenging. Thanks for any imput and best of luck!!

Hi dgolden,

I will also be taking chem 2 this summer. I had planned to take it this semester, but it conflicted with my work schedule. I'm taking my pre-reqs at MassBay Community College. It really makes a difference what professor you take the classes with. My chem 1 professor gave us difficult assignments, but graded on a curve. I try to check ratemyprofessor when signing up for classes, but it's not always reliable. Good luck on your class!
