Thanks for the info! Hope your summer is going well too :) Can we start registering for classes or will we be doing that during orientation?

Unfortunately, I did not get in. Congrats to all that got accepted :)

Congratulations! I'm sure that's an awesome feeling. Do you mind sharing your stats and general location to campus?

I'm not entirely sure. One email I received said due to high volume of applicants, decisions will be made AFTER July 15th whereas another email said decisions and letters would be made BY July 15th. I'm hoping that we will be receiving them by early next week.

Thanks Mikki! If accepted, I would definitely be interested and I'm sure we will all have questions :)

Nothing yet, but we are about to enter July so just 2 more weeks until we find out ( by July 15th decisions will be made). Hoping for sooner!

Thank you. I currently work full time in Marketing so I am thinking of health care related jobs I can work part time while in the program.

Random question, but just wanted an opinion: Is it worth getting a CNA certification before going to school in the Fall? I have read that you are qualified to test for the CNA exam after the first semester of clinicals ( not sure if that's true) so wondering if I should just save my money and do that. I would like to work as a CNA while in the program. Any thoughts would be appreciated :)

Yes, I received the email last Monday

Mine was about 1 page and 2 small paragraphs, so I did go over just a little bit. I am coming from a Marketing Background as well and do not have any professional experience in the Medical Field except for volunteering at Children's Hospital. Now we wait, good luck to all!

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Definitely Doable! I took both Micro and A&P 2 this passed Fall while working full time (9-5) and volunteering one night a week at a hospital. I received an A in Micro and an A- in A&P 2. I did not do so well in my first Bachelor's degree, so I put my all into getting good grades for Nursing School Pre-reqs. (Just got accepted to an ADN program for Fall 2018!) It wasn't easy, but I got by with the help of group texts with classmates, reading/ re-reading all material, and extra studying during weekends/lunch breaks. If you can manage your time and remain dedicated to your end goal, you will do well :) Good Luck!

Thanks! I emailed a woman from Curry and she did confirm that as long as I have the grade submitted in Nursing CAS, they will review the grade when my transcript arrives. For the personal statement, did you all remain within one page? I saw in previous years that some people believed you could be penalized for going over the one page. Hopefully not the case!

Hi All! I am applying to the program as well. I applied to MGH last year and they also used Nursing CAS so thankfully my application is all set for the most part. I got waitlisted at MGH and was recently just accepted to Masssoit's ADN Program. I am trying to decide which route to go, accelerated or take my time. For Curry, I have all of my pre-reqs completed except for Chemistry. I am currently re-taking Statistics on Portage Learning ( I received a C in undergrad) and I am a bit nervous about the transcript. In the email Curry sent us a couple of weeks ago, I believe they stated that they would accept transcripts sent before the June 1st date even if they may not be received by the school by June 1st. I will be done with the class this week so sending in my transcript at the end of this week. Does anyone know if this is true or if I am interpreting the email wrong?

Just received an email stating that due to the semester starting, my name has been removed from the wait-list and to reapply for next semester.
