Published

Hi, I am new to this forum and I am wondering if anyone has graduated from mcc in lowell the 2 year rn program. Also if anyone is in the middle of the program or applying for it. I am applying for 2010 evening program. I completed my prereqs already. Didn't know if anyone had any thoughts bout it. Also what is a good bsn program to follow through with. Please reply with any thoughts or comments. Thanks. Erin

The only pre-req i have left to take is micro which i will be taking in the spring (all of the other pre-reqs i completed from a previous degree). I spoke with Camille Brown and she does the admissions for nursing and said that I am on standby for the fall. I will be in the day program when ever i do get accepted. Good luck to everyone.

Erin, I think it may be saunders. I believe it had a spiral bound edge and the color was maroon?.... they probably have diff types out there though. I actually didn't catch which version it was. Does it have diff sections throughout the book? Also diff nursing info sections? Id have to look again at b&n, haven't been there in a few weeks.... one of my former coworkers told me yesterday she was accepted to mcc day program so u will see her in may at orientation. She's so excited too!

Hi Erin, I got it! You were right it is the one spiral bound edges & maroon (Saunders Student Nurse Planner:Version 6) Thanks so much. Both of your references are awesome, the fund. of nurs. made incred. easy & that planner! They both have some of the same info, but its good to have it in a smaller version to carry around. Also has the monthly/weekly & a daily planner, to get organized. A ton of great references that you are def. going to need in clinical. Thats awesome about your former co-worker. Hopefully I will meet some people at the orientation!.. How are things with you?

Hi erin! I'm glad u found the planner and the book. It will be put to good use! Yea the girl I worked with, her name is leah and she's really nice. I'm doing ok, still searching for a job!! I am getting frustrated tho... how is ur job going? Are u getting comfortable with the atmosphere and the job duties u r responsible for? Is the floor just chemo adult patients or peds as well? I wish I got that job at lahey.. oh well I have to keep looking around. I can't believe its 2010 already, springs around the corner. Do u watch any of the medical shows on tv? I watch mercy, private practice, and anything on discovery health or tlc. I love the trauma shows. Its good to hear from u.... keep in touch:)

Thanks-Yes, it will be put to good use :)

Im sure, I applied to hospitals for about a year before I got an interview & I used an employee's name as a reference so I am pretty sure that is why I got a call.

Work is going good, thanks.. SUPER BUSY! Learning a lot though. Yes, I am getting comfortable w. everything, its def a lot to learn.. but I am getting the hang of it.. next week will be my last week training. Yes, it's just adults.. Lahey does not have peds. Don't give up.. keep applying.. Lahey is always posting jobs, escep for nursing assis. .. Yes, I watch discovery health- I love trama-true life in the ER the best.

I applied to lahey today for a clinic assistant position in peabody and for three other positions lat week! I am sooo in need of a job. I don't want to work outside of the health field cuz I've been working in it for over 3 yrs. Its hard to leave it and go back to regular work. I was at barnes and noble today and I saw the nursing handbook u got. I wanted to buy so many things but I will wait till my time comes...... I'm glad work is going well for u;)

I hear you, I hope a job comes through for you! Have you tried sending your resume directly to a nurse manager or the floor your applying too? Or calling and talking to someone personally? hmm just trying to think about things that might help you chances, giving the job market doing anything above and beyound couldnt hurt?.. Goodluck!

Hi, that's actually some good advice.. I should try to send my resume to a nurse manager. I did think about that a few times before, but I got intimidated because what if I send it to someone who couldn't give a second thought to it. Like maybe they thought I was wasting their time by sending it to them directly instead of hr. I guess it wouldn't help to try tho. I actually had a telephone interview today for a medical assistant job at harvard vanguard. That would be a good position too. I guess I will have to wait and see.... fingers crossed
