Anyone hear from Massasoit yet?

At least you know what is up with regarding your application process. I really believe that it wont be long before you find yourself in a nursing program. Keep us updated with your applications I'm rooting for you :yelclap::nmbrn:

Thank you guys!! I am positive this all happened for a reason...I am still so excited to be back in school and pursuing my higher education. I feel so alive since going back to school after 11 years. This has been a great site, meeting great and supportive people like you guys! Make sure you keep me posted on how your summer classes are going... :specs:

Sooo I went on the campus tour Thur and everyone at the school seems really nice . They showed us everything from the Tutoring Center ( and they will see me during the summer (College writting 2) to where the computer labs were. Im really happy that I chose this school.

Im happy that I get to take these classes at this campus during the summer before NS starts, at least I wont have to worry then about getting lost:eek: on campus.

Im very excited, but I am also getting really nervous aswell:uhoh21:because this is really happening, am I dreaming? lol:zzzzz

All I know is that I want to BE a nurse :nurse:

dknyb, did you get your Info packet in the mail yet? I received mine in the mail yesterday, man there's to much to be done before school starts

Hello everyone, I also am going to be attending Massasoit's day nursing program in the fall. I would love to hear from you. The information packet was a little overwhelming. I figured I would start with the medical form first. Yesterday, I went to my doctors to be pocked, proded and immunized. How is everyone else doing with the required info?

Hi Elbow,

Congratulations on getting in!!! I couldn't get into the Dr. for a physical until the 30th of June. But have already had all of the necessary tests done. I have also had the HepB shots done. I want to get the uniform ordered early and get the CORI paperwork in so that I can forget about it. Looking forward to meeting everybody in the Fall.

In the meantime I'm taking some classes over the summer1&2 :smackingf starting next Tue:eek:

Hello fellow classmates! I am also excited. This is my third try getting in. I have all my non-nursing classes done, with A's except for a B+ in Micro. All I have left is the nursing classes themselves. I am sure that will be more than enough to handle. I, unfortunately, do have to work while going to school. I am in the process now of trying to figure out what hours I'll be able to work once school starts. There are still a lot of questions I have regarding the program. I want to get my uniform ordered soon too. I am going to have to search for some good shoes! Did you buy a stethoscope too? Did you say you heard the orientation was on June 24th?

PurposebyDesign · May 21, 2009

yes I called admission with the question and the lady told me it will be June 24. I reffered to this website as to what would be the best stethoscope to get and decided to reward myself :yeah: with a Littman SE classic II. Its beatiful, yet the ugliest color (grey) I picked that color so that no-one wants to steal it because they are a coveted scope that is why you have to keep your eyes glued on it when someone borrows it.

One of the P.T's at work told me to buy a stethoscope with one tube from the earpieces to the scope (listening part) lol dont know if thats the right name because and you can hear better and she told me not to buy the ones with two tubes like the first one in the link below.

Thanks for the info regarding the orientation. I'll put in for the day off. I'm hopefully going to order my uniforms soon. I have several cheap stethescopes but I am nervous they won't really work as well as I need them to. We will see. Do you work in a hospital?

PurposebyDesign · May 21, 2009

yes I'm a Rehab aide in a Outpatient Physical therapy dept.
