  1. Becker College

    cclem1 posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone is attending or has attended the Becker College nursing program? I have read threads in the past that say this is not a good nursing program. I am hoping someone who...

  2. which public college is better?

    cclem1 replied to jessieeex0x's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I know Fitchburg State also has an excellent nursing program. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the schools you mentioned. You are definitely smart to go into nursing right out of high...

  3. MCPHS vs. Lawrence Memorial

    cclem1 replied to bananrob's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think the accelerated BSN programs are certainly doable if you are able to make that your first priority and you can set aside all other obligations to focus on school. I have heard of others who...

  4. MCPHS vs. Lawrence Memorial

    cclem1 replied to bananrob's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I agree that it makes the most sense to go on to the accelerated BSN or direct entry MSN, but it is not always feasible. It took my a long time to even consider applying to ASN programs. Last year I...

  5. MCPHS vs. Lawrence Memorial

    cclem1 replied to bananrob's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I agree that it really depends on your life right now. I have looked into both accelerated and ASN programs and have decided to go the associate degree route. Right now I have two small children...

  6. MCPHS Accel program-any students out there?

    cclem1 replied to Nurse2be80's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  7. MCPHS Accel program-any students out there?

    cclem1 replied to Nurse2be80's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks so much Linds1334! Great response. I appreciate the details on the schedule, as that is my greatest hurdle with two little kids. It sounds like you don't have children, but do you know of...

  8. MCPHS Accel program-any students out there?

    cclem1 replied to Nurse2be80's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi Everyone, I know this is sort of an old post, but I wanted to get some opinions from people who have completed the program. Are you happy you chose the (more expensive) accelerated route? I am...

  9. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

    cclem1 replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

    It's an incredibly difficult decision and sometimes when thinking about when to have a child, you realize that the time will never be right, so maybe you should just let nature take its course. But,...

  10. Any MWCC students/nearly students/grads here?

    cclem1 replied to Scooter321's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I got my packet last week. I was hoping there was more class schedule info in there, but looks like we'll have to wait for orientation. It sounds like we'll be in orientation together. I'm...

  11. Any MWCC students/nearly students/grads here?

    cclem1 replied to Scooter321's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I'm planning on starting at MWCC this fall as well, in the evening program. Are you day or evening? I'd also love to hear from anyone whose in the program there and what their thoughts are on

  12. Associate Degree or Direct Entry Masters?

    cclem1 replied to clenz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Well, I also have a BS degree in a field other than nursing and debated accelerated BSN, direct entry MSN and ASN programs. I've thought and thought and thought about it and researched every...

    cclem1 replied to cclem1's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yeah, I did apply to the evening program. I know it'll be a lot of work, but I'm excited. I can't wait to hear if I got in. I keep calling and they said next week we'll find

  14. Becker College

    cclem1 replied to cclem1's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    fabiusgile, After all my searching, my first choice is MWCC. I'm anxiously waiting to hear if I get in. That's great that you really like the program. Do you know if they offer summer nursing...

  15. Becker College

    cclem1 replied to cclem1's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow, Stephanieee.. thank you for your post. I never did apply because I didn't want my start into nursing at a school that doesn't have a good reputation in the area. I'm sorry to hear that you have...

  16. Curry College Accelerate BSN tuition?

    cclem1 replied to Schu-baby's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think someone on here that went this past year said it was around $20,000, not including books. It's a great deal, but competitive because of

  17. Curry College Accelerate BSN tuition?

    cclem1 replied to Schu-baby's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I talked to the admissions people and they said $39,000 for this years class I believe. It's hard to find accelerated programs that are much less than that. Umass Boston and Amherst are

  18. Anyone taken/taking Salem State Direct Entry program?

    cclem1 replied to erinkate's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I spoke with someone who was in the program, as well as the woman who runs the admissions for it, and I know the schedule includes days, evening and weekends and I believe some online classes too....

  19. Is This A Good time to Start Nursing School

    cclem1 replied to lana2010's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I'd start as soon as possible. No one can predict anything that's going to happen. I don't think there will be a big difference between July and Jan. I would definitely get a job as...

  20. Is This A Good time to Start Nursing School

    cclem1 replied to lana2010's topic in General Nursing

    HI Lana, No problem. I hope that my experience can help you in some way. It's been quite the learning experience for me. I did use my bio degree for a few years after I graduated. I worked in a...

  21. Is This A Good time to Start Nursing School

    cclem1 replied to lana2010's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I also have a Biology degree and can't wait to get started on nursing. I was accepted to an accelerated program for this past fall here in the Boston area, but backed out last minute. The...

  22. Lawrence Memorial/Regis College ASN

    cclem1 replied to IrishMommy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I applied to the LMRC program and I'm hoping to get in for the fall. My suggestion would be to make sure all your application material gets sent in ONE packet. They ask that you do so. I sent...

    cclem1 replied to AdrienneRN2b's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi Julie, I was accepted to Regis for this past fall, but decided not to go right now for personal reasons. That being said, I had a lot of communication with 2 very nice people they are really nice...

  25. I just want to thank the state of MA, in conjunction with the federal government

    cclem1 replied to biok8e's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I thought you could only collect unemployment if you are a part-time student and still available to work? It seems strange, and I might be careful making such bold announcements. I was unable to...
