MCPHS Fall 2019 ABSN Program

Published

Hi Everyone,

I am just starting a thread for MCPHS Boston ABSN program for Fall 2019! Anyone else applying to the program or applied and was accepted?

Hi! I just got accepted to the Worcester campus! Moving there from Florida so will be looking for a roommate. I was looking to verify if they are CCNE accredited, anyone wondering the same or have any info? The website makes it seem like only the Manchester campus is CCNE accredited. Also for any current students, how intense is the program?

Hi dimdimaa,

All the MCPHS nursing programs are accredited by the CCNE.

"The baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN), master’s degree in nursing (MSN-FNP), and post-graduate APRN certificate (CAGS-FNP) on the Boston, Worcester and Manchester campuses of MCPHS University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036, 202-887-6791."

Yes, I read that, but it turned out that it was for the longer term nursing program and did not have to do with post bac

Thank you so much!! Do you know more about the program? How the students are treated, the classes instructors etc? At my tour, they mentioned that there are usually great clinical placements and at least one would be on longwood/mgh. Can anyone verify?

Hey everyone! I recently got accepted to the Boston program. I have to take Chem 2 this summer and want to know how people found it compared to the other sciences? Its been a while since I completed the other pre reqs. My options are either an accelerated 5 week course or an online course. I work full time so the accelerated one makes me nervous. Has anyone taken it online?

I just did Portage learning for Chem 2 and landed an A. Def hard, especially with acids, bases and titration, but do able! Finished the class in 5 weeks. I do recommend Portage, they make it easier and take all the fluff out from an in person course.

Hi everyone, I recently found out I was accepted into the program! For those accepted/attending, did you already receive your financial aid?

I recieved financial aid information within a week after getting my acceptance. Hope that helps!
