Anyone applying to any LPN program in MA?

[vitiana]

Hi to everybody !!!

Last year, I applied at Assabet Valley LPN program but I could get in because I applied late and they had a waiting list, which i didnt know about it. So this year I'm trying to get it done asap with the applications and I decided to apply everywhere possible and cheaper , such like Assabet valley LPN, Greater Lowell LPN, Shwasheen LPN, NSCC LPN, Roxbury cc, anything LPN.... Is anyone applying just like in LPN programs ? Did anyone graduate from those programs? Please let me know which one are the best among those and which one has a waiting list, so let me not waisted my time...I did the TEAS V too and I fullfilled the assabet scores but now every school just required to take the test at their own site (that sucks 4 real)

P.S: please I'm looking for a good website where i can find best stories or statement about the famous questions "why do you want to become a nurse", english isn't my first language so I need some good arguments in english because essays are timely administrate.

thanks dear, keep in touch

Admission Requirements are competitive and space is limited. No one evaluation tool is used to determine admission. Students who meet the MINIMUM admission criteria are evaluated against the entire group of qualified applicants.

STEP 1

Register for the TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) Entrance Test.

The first step for admissions is to fill out the entrance form in its entirety, sign you have read and understood requirements and rules, and return with the payment to the Practical Nursing department here at Bay Path. There is a $85 non-refundable, non-transferable, testing fee with a $25 returned check fee. Students may not reschedule or transfer funds.

STEP 2

STEP 4

Once the Practical Nursing office has received all requested information. The student will start the second step of the application process where a brief interview will be conducted. The interview is very similar to a job interview.

STEP 5

Acceptance.

When qualifications are equal, first consideration is given to student's in-district, and graduates of Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School.

Last year I applied to Bunker Hill CC for the RN program. Was sadly denied but got a call from them within a month about their LPN program. They had a lot of spots left after the deadline and were trying to fill them. I'm assuming you might have luck there.
