That is all it says...

I wonder if the uniforms include a steth in that pricing otherwise myyy goodness!!

But yes INDIGO IS GREAT!!!!!!!! lol

My family and close friends are all going away from thursday til monday ( i have work of course) and I do not want to open my letter alone..I am sure I will get it by Saturday but I will wait until Tuesday..it might kill me but I really don't think I can do it alone!!!

AGHH we will see...But I will post when I get it in the mail!

Sooooo.... again KEKE awesome to know that information up front if all works out for the rest of us I will adjust my schedule accordingly now! I hate being in the dark- even though I am not officially a student yet! hahaha

Thanks soooo much for that!!

Just so that everyone knows...I went to an information session at Middlesex Community College about a week ago for their nursing program and there was a girl there who was from Lowell Tech's PN program!! They're graduating tomorrow (July 2nd) Of course I approached her at the end because she mentioned Lowell Tech and asked her about it. She said that everyone from the waiting list got in and that after that they still had about 12 others fail out or drop out. And she really stressed how you basically have no life while doing the program because it's so intense and so much work every night. BUT it's totally worth it in the end...so she made me feel completely CONFIDENT and a bazillion times BETTER about my chances of being picked up from the list!!!!

I'm anxiously waiting to see if I will get that golden phone call anytime starting tomorrow...it's bittersweet because I know I'll get in as long as someone else has to be dropped; but I've wanted this for SOOOOO long that it's hard not to wish for someone to screw up...isn't that horrible???

Anyway I'm sending nothing but the BESTEST wishes to every single person who posted on this thread It's funny how you can try and be supportive for people you've never met - the worst is over and the best and hardest is ahead

Oh god you guys my stomach is turning.....I cant keep my mind on anything else! I am going to NH tonite so I wont be able to check my mail until FRI. JMarie - you have nerves of steel if you can wait til monday top open that letter - I hope I dont rip my open in the elevator in my building!!!

Keke - LOVE that the scrubs are indigo. I was also told at my interview that you dont have to go to the scrub fitting - you can just go to the store in Lowell and order them from there. I am out of district so my total cost is $9000 and of that I think I need something like $4600 up front. But he also said he encourages everyone to apply for the PELL grant because you dont have to pay the $$$ back but it is for financial hardship. I dont know any details about that but I prob will apply if I get in cause any little bit helps.

Prisi - you might not get the phone call until after July 9th because that is when the seat reservation is due.

GOOD THOUGHTS!!!!

Hi,

The information packet says to purchase all books by 8/21 but I was told by a former student to only purchase the books for the first semester and then during the Dec. holiday break purchase the others. I guess some people end up failing in the first semester and are stuck with the all of the books. Not that I plan on failing out but you never know. I was also told that it is Graduation night for this years LPN's at GLTVHS. GOOD LUCK TO THEM AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Oh man I am routing for u guys to get in and I don't even know ya!!! I have been reading some of ur posts and its almost like a suspenseful drama waitin to see who will get in. I was actually at the mcc info session last week. Good stuff to know. I actually applied for the 2 year rn program there and I am awaitin my letter of acceptance, or denial (hope not) from mcc. Sooo I know exactly how all u guys feel. Well good luck and keep posting. Your fellow future nurse friend..... lol

Well I got my answer today........WAITLIST. I am bummed out royally but I am still trying to hold out hope. So JMarie....good thoughts to you. Prisi....hopefully we get a phone call next week so I will be praying. Have a good 4th everyone!

Erindell....good luck to you! I hope you get your acceptance letter soon!!!

Thanks sawyer, and my thoughts are with u... things will work out and maybe u will get off that wait list and start ur classes soon. Keep ur chin up! have a nice weekend.

I have my letter.....

Unopened til monday night.... I can't help but feel it is a waiting list as well..

Sawyer it is OK because of what you told us all earlier that they DO actually call people on the waitlist and quite a few soooo..there is still hope!!

We shall wait for phonecalls then! I know I am unopened but feel I really know what the answer is....

Erindel good luck to you hun! seriously!! THERE IS HOPE FOR US!!!! I will not give up just yet.....

Awww thanks.... open ur letter. U will die till Monday if u wait. Maybe its a yes, u never know.....
