I was wondering if anyone had any information about this school. Their program is fairly new and not accredited as of yet. So, im kinda skeptical about this program. It would be nice if someone could respond to this that is in the program.
im starting the nursing program in spring 2014. Any one have any advice or insight into the program? when do you actually start clincals or the sim lab? ive been at NEIT for one whole quarter and im in the middle of my second quarter. I had to take a math class and then pass the kaplan exam so i got put back a little but so far with just the classes that ive taken i really love the school and my professors are awesome. i just dont know too much about the nursing program itself yet.
I am currently in quarter 2 nursing so I don't have too much experience but a few things I wanted to let everyone know. First, in my opinion, New England tech is worth every single penny. There's no comparison between them and Ccri. Second, your first quarter is going to be hard. Nursing 1 is really easy. But a&p 1 is hard. Quarter 2 nursing, there is a lot to do. I'm not sure about a&p 2 but I'll let you know. Microbiology is fairly easy. Also, if you can get your liberal arts classes out of the way, do it. It'll make your life easier. Also make flash cards, ask for help, ask questions, and make sure you understand everything. Good luck!
Just an FYI, more and more employers are requiring a BSN now. I have been working in Boston in a traveling position and was thinking of taking a permanent job at the facility. They will not hire me as permanent staff despite 8.5 years of experience, a specialty certification(CNOR) and good references, because I don't have my BSN yet. I'm halfway through mine, but I have to finish first. They are not alone in this in Massachussetts and I'm beginning to see it in RI as well. So, I have to question the wisdom of paying big money for an ASN at this point. Many BSN programs have part time options, and many of us worked while we were in school and did fine, so I don't think they are exclusively for traditional students.

hi, I'm scheduled to take the kaplan Nursing entrance exam next week at New England Tech. I have received the review packet and have purchased the Kaplan study guide book. I am just wondering if there is any additional material I should cover? I was also wondering about the content on the test itself. Is is as difficult as the admissions officer makes it out to be? Are there a lot of spelling/grammar questions? Any information would be extremely helpfull !
Thanks a bunch
