CCRI Spring (Jan) start.. a few questions

U.S.A. Rhode Island

Published

This is my first post to this site :) Everytime I would Google a question, this site would come up, so I figured I should join and maybe pick some of your brains. :redpinkhe

I've been researching different nursing programs because I'm leaving my career of 11 years to finally fulfill a dream that I've had for a long time. I'm currently finishing up the pre-reqs (I'm taking Anatomy/Phys, Dosage, Health Careers this summer and Micro in the fall).

My question is, I will not have my Micro grade until the end of the fall semester. I know that I need all of my pre-reqs completed to apply. Will I still be able to apply for the spring start at CCRI? I've seen a few posts about an "open application session" in the beginning of January. What are the odds of getting in that late?

I'm afraid that I'm killing myself trying to take all of these classes this summer when BCC (for example) does not require the Dosage or Health Careers class. I could just concentrate on the BIOs this summer/fall and hopefully get into BCC, Massasoit or Brockton Hospital next fall (2011). I've been going back and forth. I'd hate to take on too much and effect my GPA. Decisions, decisions...

So, after my rambling... does anyone know about the January "open application session" for the Spring start at CCRI?

Thank you so much!!!

Hi I am applying to the fall 2012 evening program in lincoln in February and I am just curious to know if out grades are similar... I am hoping I get in right away!! My GPA is 3.75 and My lowest grade was a B+ in Anatomy - all my other grades are A or A-. Just hoping my chances are good!!!!

JDCRI: I think your chances are pretty good, I got in last year on my first shot with a 3.5 gpa.

Your should get in without a problem for fall 2012. I believe there were 42 seats available for the Lincoln Night Program to start on Sept 7, 2011. I remember being scared **** because I knew about that many students from my classes that were applying! LOL.. I got in with the same GPA, but my lowest grade was B+ in intro to health careers. You have a while before applying, Dont stress....you'll get in. :)

I applied in Feb 2011...got in on the first try
