Thanks for the info regarding the orientation. I'll put in for the day off. I'm hopefully going to order my uniforms soon. I have several cheap stethescopes but I am nervous they won't really work as well as I need them to. We will see. Do you work in a hospital?

Hello fellow classmates! I am also excited. This is my third try getting in. I have all my non-nursing classes done, with A's except for a B+ in Micro. All I have left is the nursing classes themselves. I am sure that will be more than enough to handle. I, unfortunately, do have to work while going to school. I am in the process now of trying to figure out what hours I'll be able to work once school starts. There are still a lot of questions I have regarding the program. I want to get my uniform ordered soon too. I am going to have to search for some good shoes! Did you buy a stethoscope too? Did you say you heard the orientation was on June 24th?

Hello everyone, I also am going to be attending Massasoit's day nursing program in the fall. I would love to hear from you. The information packet was a little overwhelming. I figured I would start with the medical form first. Yesterday, I went to my doctors to be pocked, proded and immunized. How is everyone else doing with the required info?

Good Luck to you!! I am trying to figure out how the scheduling goes. I haven't run into anyone the is going or has gone to Massasoit yet.

Hi MaryEllen, I actually got received my acceptance letter for the day RN program at MMC. Congrats!

I can really relate. I have been going to a community college trying to complete all my non-nursing classes so that I can enter their nursing program. It was really discouraging when we were told, at the Information session, that we would not be considered until we had all those non-nursing courses completed with nothing less than a B. Needless to say, It will take me four years of full-time schooling to get my Associates Degree in Nursing. At least it is an RN program. I also am not 22 and have 2 kids (3 if you include my husband), full-time job, full-time school and household duties. It definately is not easy! I have already applied to 2 schools for the fall of 2008 and will apply to another (which I really would rather not go to) soon. I am very nervous about starting the nursing program because I have heard that you really do not have any time to do anything other than your school work. This is going to be difficult since we are a 2 income family who reall ycan't afford to cut down to 1. Well, we will see. For having such a shortage of nurses, they do not make it easy to get into the field!
