Hi Missy, I must tell you that only a handful of students work 30hrs or more....maybe 7 and the rest either 15-20 or do not work at all....Honestly the program is intense.....depending again on your coping skills.....it starts off slow...then BAM your stressed out....workload is heavy...1st term I came home and was up every night until 1-2am.... I too have a toddler and this was hard enough for her to deal with so I had to do the best I could with as little pain to her as possible.....I do have to say I gave 60% of myself and pretty much maintained an A status throughout.....until now I am burnt out and cant wait to be done ....and my last 2 quizzes I have failed...I am freaking out.....not used to that and dont know why....Its also maternity and I hate it....so maybe thats it.....2nd semester cake (for me) found my goove sailed through....then 3rd semester...a little shaky to start my first 80 .....because the testing format changed..I adjusted and everything is great....now last semester I feel confident and now have my 2 lowest grades of the year....I want to cry..... but there is hope....last maternity exam is next Monday and we move on.....lots of papers to write... I can still save myself....Hopefully you will have a good class .....be willing to help each other ......youll need to support each other...travel is to Worc, athol, clinton, fitchburg, Gardner...unless they change things up for 2010 Hope this helps you a little .....Good Luck....

Hi Missy, I am currrently in the MT program......I am sure you heard all from your interview.....Its a good program but I have to tell you its the most stressful thing any of us have done in our lives...You go through an entire book 2 quizzes and several exams and you move on ....we all call it dumping syndrome.......we have lost 9 students 3 1st semester 3 2nd , and 3 3rd....the one piece of advice I have to offer you is if you take a test and get less than an 80...figure out what you did wrong and fix it ....because it will run away and you may not be able to save yourself....study and pay attention.....If you make this your priority you will succeed .....those who didnt are not with us.....you decide 10,000 is an awful lot of money to have to pay back for nothing to show.....best of luck to you...:yeah:congrats for getting in....

yup....I am in a 9 1/2 month program...it is rough ...we just started last monday ...2 tests already 3 papers and chapters and chapters of reading....:crying2:I have not a moment... well maybe a moment...We have classes mon-thurs 4p-10p and every other weekend 9a-3p..unless we have clinicals which start the 20th of this month then we will go 7a-3p...All I can dom is study and pray

My story is similar...took teas test in feb...interviewed in april ....accepted in may...orientation was june 9 ....have anatomy homework over summer....chapters 1-5 in math and chapters 1-5 in lpn handbook...school starts aug 25...graduation june 18 09.....heard the program is rough but need to try....good juck to everyone:up:
