Regis/Lawerence Memorial Collge ADN Nursing

I have seen many posts on here but I have not yet found the answers to my questions.
I am apply to the Regis College nursing program in Medford and have questions about the Night/Weekend program.
What time are the classes, and what days?
I heard they are Thursday and Friday from 5-9:30
What day are clinics
I heard Sat/Sun 7-3
Can you work full-time and still pass?

You might have more luck looking on the Massachusetts forums. I went to LMH/RC and graduated last May from the evening/weekend program. The program has a great reputation in the area.

Class times vary depending on the course. They pass out the semester schedule on the first night. Generally classes are 2-3 days a week (sometimes Mon, Tues, Thurs, from 5:30 to 9:30). Some days class starts at 5:00 or ends at 10:00, but 5:30 to 9:30 is the most common time. Clinicals in first semester are Friday from 5:30 to 9:30 and Sat/Sun from 7 to 3. In later semesters they drop Friday nights and it's longer on Sat/Sun.

I worked full time 45 hours a week throughout the program and graduated with a 3.7 GPA. It wasn't easy but it's possible. I was able to study a lot at work and leave early on class/exam days. Now that I'm working as nurse there is NO WAY I'd be able to do it in a job like this. So it does depend on where you work.

Hi Frible001,

I have also applied to the night/weekend program. Have you already submitted your application packet? I'm still waiting to hear that they have received mine and that it is complete. I turned my co-worker onto LM and she is now in the program. She started in January along with another good friend of mine who I met while doing pre-reqs. They love the program.

I sent my application in on March 1st and have yet to hear anything, very frustarting

It would have been 3 weeks today since they received my application. I got the email on Monday. I thought I was going to get an email saying that they received the application and it was complete but I did not. I was concerned they may not have received my information but had I looked at my checking account I would have noticed that they cashed the check for the application fee. Give it at least another week. You'll hear something soon.

Well i emailed them today and they said they have not reviewed it yet, but yet they cashed my check on Tuesday, i don't get how they cashed the check but didn't not check if the application is complete. Im so nervous, I haven't applied anywhere else yet cause i was waiting to here from Regis. I have a 2.5 GPA, but over 1600 on my SAT's plus have taken all the pre-reqs

I know it's hard but don't worry they will get back to you. I know a few people in the program and it does take them 3-4wks to look everything over because they review applications in the order they receive them. They got mine on 2/22 and I just heard from them this week. How are your grades on your pre-reqs?

frible001 · Mar 15, 2012

GOOD NEWS!!! I heard today that my application is complete, and it will be up to 8 weeks to here if i am in or not, have you heard anything yet?

Congrats..I'm going in for my interview next week. The woman from admissions was very accommodating.

frible001 · Mar 15, 2012

When did you hear that your application was accepted, and it only took 2 weeks to hear back?

frible001 · Mar 15, 2012
