lpn programs in Mass

[prisicruz]

hello all :)

I'm in search of a good LPN program in Mass. Some people have suggested I attend NECCO ( northern essex ) and I also heard that Lowell Tech in Tyngsboro has an axcellent program there. I guess I'd just like to do some research on some other schools before I make my choice on where to attend. I initially was interested in a program in Chelsea but the cost of attendance is 13 grand!...which you pay off after you work for one of their affilliated hospitals for a year. I think that's a little too much to ask for.

Does anyone have any schools they think are worth suggesting? Any imput would be a huge help and is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

well it depends where you live. I go to northshore cc it is a great program! I have learned so much in the last 6 months. It is tough but it is do-able with studying. The teachers are very good at what they do and are never mean to any of the students. It is a ten month program sept-june. It was also easier to get into than necco.

Hope this helps!

I had actually considered their program but some told me that necco had a better program. Plus I live a little closer to necco, however, I'd be willing to take the drive to Northshore, no problem. It's only like a 20-30 minute drive.

If you dont mind, please PM me and tell me a little more about their program. Was it a long application process? I really want to get started on the application process now because I know they usually fill up rather quikly on LPN and RN programs.

Every Nursing Program in MA.

Also Bay Path Vocational School in Charlton is in the process of accepting LPN students for their new LPN Program which is going to begin in 2009 if all goes well.
