MCC (manchester) Fall 2012-2014

[simply_commenting]

For those currently attending MCC (or graduates).

One:Where are the clinical rotations held? All in Manchester or what?

Two: How'd did you like MCC? I have been accepted for this fall and looking to choose between MCC and Great Bay (95-5 in favor of MCC). FYI: consistent pass rates of 100% are excellent.

Three: For Nursing 1 classes, how much/little of a time commitment is it since it will be my only class starting this fall.

Four: Any insight you could provide would be appreciated and welcome.

thanks ahead of time.

Michelle,

First semester, every student does 6 weeks of long term care. I happened to be placed at the VA on their community living center unit. It's in a hospital but is a long term setting. Others were at Greenbriar, which is a nursing home (other sites for LTC have slipped my mind, sorry!). The first week, I was in palliative care. I had NO experience in the healthcare setting so I was a bit nervous but got through it and learned a lot. I never had to do postmortem care but I know other students have. It all depends on your patients.

Also, feel free to ask any and all questions. I was extremely nervous going into nursing school. The more info you know, the less anxious you'll be. I love this site and am always browsing so I have no problem responding to questions.

The other first semester clinical is RMU (rehabillitative Medical Unit) at CMC.

Like Sam and Danielle I will be graduating from MCC this May. Here to answer any additional questions and/or concerns you have about the program.

Good luck to you all!

However, this silly system requires I have 15 posts. apparently i have not met quota. if you can PM me, please do so, I think if i provide my email address they may boot me from this website.

fyi. the book costs seem very small (maybe they don't include nclex books), but it appears to be around $450. far, far less than i expected and then again, I could very well have been overwhelmed. ahh, nursing.

I wanted to wish everyone who got in a big fat congratulations. I'm very sad that I won't be attending with everyone. I got accepted but had to decline because I still need to work during the day. I would have loved to of gone to school with some students from my area. I live in Manchester. I took a spot at the Lawrence memorial night and weekend program in Medford Ma. Best of luck to everyone. Simply I'm sure you will do great. Congrats again.

kimball: thanks! and grats to you. for me, the biggest issue was getting into a program. now that i'm in, as much as there are plenty of hurdles the biggest is behind me (in my mind at least).
