1. which public college is better?

   cclem1 replied to jessieeex0x's topic in Massachusetts

   I know Fitchburg State also has an excellent nursing program. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the schools you mentioned. You are definitely smart to go into nursing right out of high school and be looking into state schools. I think if ...

2. MCPHS vs. Lawrence Memorial

   cclem1 replied to bananrob's topic in Massachusetts

   I think the accelerated BSN programs are certainly doable if you are able to make that your first priority and you can set aside all other obligations to focus on school. I have heard of others who have kept part-time jobs while doing the accelerate...

3. MCPHS vs. Lawrence Memorial

   cclem1 replied to bananrob's topic in Massachusetts

   I agree that it makes the most sense to go on to the accelerated BSN or direct entry MSN, but it is not always feasible. It took my a long time to even consider applying to ASN programs. Last year I was accepted and about to begin the program at Re...

   cclem1 replied to bananrob's topic in Massachusetts

   Hi, I agree that it really depends on your life right now. I have looked into both accelerated and ASN programs and have decided to go the associate degree route. Right now I have two small children and after a long struggle trying to decide what t...

   Thanks! I guess that's the reality of having kids. They always come first no matter what. Good luck with your nursing career!

   cclem1 replied to Nurse2be80's topic in Massachusetts

   Thanks so much Linds1334! Great response. I appreciate the details on the schedule, as that is my greatest hurdle with two little kids. It sounds like you don't have children, but do you know of other people in the program who are managing with ki...

7. MCPHS Accel program-any students out there?

   cclem1 replied to Nurse2be80's topic in Massachusetts

   Hi Everyone, I know this is sort of an old post, but I wanted to get some opinions from people who have completed the program. Are you happy you chose the (more expensive) accelerated route? I am planning on beginning an ASN program this fall, but ...

8. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

   cclem1 replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

   It's an incredibly difficult decision and sometimes when thinking about when to have a child, you realize that the time will never be right, so maybe you should just let nature take its course. But, here is my situation; I have two kids, and was abou...

9. Any MWCC students/nearly students/grads here?

   cclem1 replied to Scooter321's topic in Massachusetts

   Hi, I got my packet last week. I was hoping there was more class schedule info in there, but looks like we'll have to wait for orientation. It sounds like we'll be in orientation together. I'm really looking forward to getting started. It's been ...

10. Any MWCC students/nearly students/grads here?

    cclem1 replied to Scooter321's topic in Massachusetts

    Hi, I'm planning on starting at MWCC this fall as well, in the evening program. Are you day or evening? I'd also love to hear from anyone whose in the program there and what their thoughts are on it.

11. Associate Degree or Direct Entry Masters?

    cclem1 replied to clenz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Well, I also have a BS degree in a field other than nursing and debated accelerated BSN, direct entry MSN and ASN programs. I've thought and thought and thought about it and researched every program in my area. But, the truth is you are the on...

    cclem1 replied to cclem1's topic in Massachusetts

    Yeah, I did apply to the evening program. I know it'll be a lot of work, but I'm excited. I can't wait to hear if I got in. I keep calling and they said next week we'll find out.

13. Becker College

    cclem1 replied to cclem1's topic in Massachusetts

    fabiusgile, After all my searching, my first choice is MWCC. I'm anxiously waiting to hear if I get in. That's great that you really like the program. Do you know if they offer summer nursing courses or do they follow the standard fall, spring, fa...

    cclem1 replied to cclem1's topic in Massachusetts

    Wow, Stephanieee.. thank you for your post. I never did apply because I didn't want my start into nursing at a school that doesn't have a good reputation in the area. I'm sorry to hear that you have to transfer out. Have you found another school? ...

15. Curry College Accelerate BSN tuition?

    cclem1 replied to Schu-baby's topic in Massachusetts

    I think someone on here that went this past year said it was around $20,000, not including books. It's a great deal, but competitive because of it.
