Roxbury Community College nursing 2014

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

Hello everyone Im new to this site. I check this site regularly for information. Unfortunately i have not seen anything current relating to RCC . I was accepted into their nursing program for jan 2014 :yes: ( i'm very excited).

Can anyone ( nursing students or recent grads)

shed some light on what i should be expecting? I know they recommend you don't work no more than approx 20hrs a week, but that will be difficult. How do someone gain experience in the health care field as a nursing student if their current job is not related ? I know experience is gained through clinical's however is this the only way? Any and all advice is appreciated from all nurses or graduates from any colleges.

Thank you.

Happy New year :up:

Congrats sassy!! How are you liking the program so far?

Aside from all the previous posters, has anyone else applied or been through RCC's nursing program as well?

Hi lizbee227! I applied to Roxbury full time program....im unsure of when they notify us wether we've been accepted or not.....the wait is killing me

@Genny96: Have you heard anything yet from RCC?

Hey lizbee227 I haven't heard anything from them....so I called them yesterday and they told me that decision for the nursing program should be sent out in the beginning of June

@Genny: That stinks. I'll be rooting for you from now until June!

Hey lizbee! I just got my acceptance letter today from Roxbury!!!!

Now I am in a tough position because I have to choose between RCC and Massasoit.....I wish I can get more info from a student's point of view regarding RCC nursing program

HI genny,

I'm not sure if you read the other comments but if you do you can see that I commented on rcc...I recently finished this program. What kind of info would you like ? I was a student in the morning program before switching to evening .

Hi Vallywillis! How did you like the program? How were the clinical placements? Did you find the day program more intense than the evening program? Thanks for your reply!!

Hi Genny96, i also applied to the full time program and i got my acceptance letter today, it says orientation is May 28th. Hope you get accepted.

Hi Drow27! Congrats!!! Yes I got accepted as well...have you contacted **** the program chair person to acknowledge your acceptance? I emailed her last night to make sure she gets my acknowledgement....

Hi Vallywillis, I have another question regarding Roxbury program in terms of holiday breaks. Did you guys have a summer session or was there a summer break after finals in May?
