Becker College? (in MA)

[somethingsodistant]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any information about the ASN program at Becker College in Worcester, MA.

I'm considering going there if I get enough financial aid. I did not get accepted into my state school's BSN program because of space (only one person got in), so I am now scrambling to find a school that I can go to as soon as possible. I'm almost 24 and my dream is to become a nurse. I've hit a lot of road blocks along the way, but I really want to get a nursing degree as soon as I can.

I'm also considering getting on the wait list for Quinsigamond Community College; however, they're currently accepting students for fall of 2015, and I'd rather not wait that long. However, if anyone has information about that program, as well, I'd appreciate it.

I read some old threads on here that had bad things to say about the program, but the NCLEX pass rate for 2011 was 99%, so I'm hoping the program has improved since those threads. The head of nursing at my school recommended I go there, so I'm hoping that it's a good choice!

I know very little about the program but, before you make any decisions, keep in mind that finding a job as an ASN new grad in Massachusetts is VERY difficult. You might consider moving this thread to the MA nursing forum in the yellow side to elicit more responses.
