Greater Lowell Tech

Thanks for the vibes guys!!!

ok........Im home. The interview went well...I think. It is so hard to tell. JMarie, like you I was fumbling my words a bit. I made sure I listened intently. I did feel a bit insecure when I told him I have no healthcare experience and havent taken any science courses - I really think it will be held against me. I am hoping that my NET score and personal statement will make up for that. It did seem like there were more openings in the nite program vs the day. I dont now.....I wont be able to calm down until I get that letter and know one way or the other.

Prisi - If you are reading this he said that the wait list people have a good chance of getting in - A lot of people dont send in their $$$ on time so then they go to the wait list.

He said he was mailing out letters tomorrow so we might even know before the weekend. I just want this to be over!!!!!!!! Let me know when you get the letter - GOOD VIBES FOR US!!!!!!

Oh and another thing - that guy who didnt have his statement yesterday at your interview JMarie.......I am sorry but he should have been made to leave. There were certain requirements that we needed and he didnt have them - I hope he doesnt get a pass because he has experience. I mean he is already showing he is not responsible. It reminds me of testing day when people didnt have their license - I mean the only thing we had to bring was a photo ID and you dont have your license!!!!!! Sorry for venting.....just trying to trick myself into thinking that we have a better shot because we are organized and did what we were told!!!

Did he mention anything about the orientation? I don't even know if that is what is was called but I think it is either next week or the week after??

sawyer! oh I was sending positive vibes your way today!! Sounds like it went well..you had everything you needed...oh i know what you mean about the person that didnt have all his stuff but I think he was maybe avoiding confrontation ya know? But I hear ya on that!!! Makes me feel better to hear that a lot of ppl dont hand in money on time... ok so MAYBE we will hear by Friday???? awww man.... If I get in man oh man it will be a crazy 10 months but soooo worth it.... My NET score will prolly end up biting me in the butt mixed with the no healthcare but thinking positive but not too positive...aghhh cant eat or sleep for last 2 days...nerves...sooo anooying they can be sometimes!!

Well GOODLUCK TO YOU SAWYER AND PRISI ON GETTING IN!!!! I REALLY HOPE THE NEXT POSTS FROM ALL OF US IN SAYING YAYYYY I GOT IN!!!

he didnt say an exact date keke to me just 2 weeks in august and only 2 days a week for 2 weeks... ya..lol sounds confusing..but no exact dates..

hi folks - i don't know lowell tech as a school, but assume it is MA and for LPN'S? My mom is in a nursing home and her LPN's save her life everyday. LPN's rock!

just wanted to give a shout out to all MA potential nurses while also comforting my own choice, that terrifies me - I am beginning the MSN program at Regis for non-nurses with other BA/BS degrees. After 1.5 years of pre-med and other degrees, I am dutifully frightened to start in August, but pysched as well. Rock on ladies and gents who want to be nurses! I am sure I will be writing about being more terrified, again, soon.

Thanks lblack!! And good luck to you hon!!!!!!! You are on a great path! You will do great!!!!

keke...he said it was 2 nites a week for 2 weeks in august...former students will come in and talk about the program and tell the best ways to study. He said there was no attendance taken and it is optional but if I get in I will be there.

Jmarie - I am hoping we know by Fri cause the suspense will kill me over the weekend!!! It will be worth it to give up 10 months of our lives. he said last yr by end of first term 10 people dropped/flunked out and the majority of them tried to work full time and go to school. he said there is at least 3 hrs of studying every nite. But what I really wanted to know is what color are the scrubs! It would be so cool if you, me, keke & prisi are all in the same class.

omg ya he said same stuff to me too...i hope to the high heavens they are not white!!!!!!!! hahahhaa ill be checking my mail box obsessively after tomorrow! hahahaa

I just rec'd my packet of information in the mail. We can all breath a little easier knowing that the scrubs are indigo!!!! Yeah...I like that color.

The info also states that the orientation is on 8/25 and we only need a notepad. No full uniform for the first week.


Uniform fitting is 7/14 and the prep course is August 5,6,10 & 11th. I also rec'd the book list which comes to about $750.00. I forgot about that expense...I can't find my list of what was included in the tuition. Does anyone have that list?

I think that is it! I hope you all get your acceptance letter tomorrow!

I'm starting to get nervous.....
