Hi All! Does anyone have experience working at an Arbour Hospital facility? What is the stating rate for new grads? What is the working environment like? Thanks!

Are there are any current students or applicants to the Lawrence Memorial/Regis College ASN program? I will be attending an info session this week but would like to hear some first hand accounts from current students. Is the admission process quick o...

For those of you in MA, how long did it take to see your name & license # on the MA BORN website? Was it the same day you took your test? Thanks!

Do you have any scheduled teaching labs? As I said before they have completely changed the curriculum for the incoming September class so I can only tell you what we did. The labs were only in NU100 (your first semester) one day a week for 3 hours.Th...

Hello from an almost(1 more week!) MBCC ADN graduate. I can tell you a bit about the RN program. There have been MAJOR changes in the nursing faculty administration, mostly all for the better, over the past 10 months. They are also in the process of ...

Does anyone know when MBCC sends out its letters? The only answer admissions will give me is April, but no specific date, not even to say the beginning, middle or end of April. So frustrating! April is a long month and the wait is driving me crazy! I...

I know I should know this... I am drawing a blank... Q - Osmometer cells in the brain sense and increase in the concentration of plasma. This information is sent to the hypothalamus, which notifies the pituitary gland to release the hormone ADH. ADH...

You can go the accelerated route for your BSN/RN since you already have a Bachelors, or you could do a 2 year program for an ASN. Either way, you will end up with your RN, just a matter of how much $$ and time you are willing to invest. The accelerat...

I had a group presentation assigned for my A&P1 class and last nite was our nite to present. It was a complete catastrophe and I could use some advice (and to rant a bit). This was supposed to be a group effort and I can say in all honesty I cre...

Thank you both for your advice. I decided to email the professor and his response was that if what I was telling him was true, I should have told him sooner and broken away from my group and done it myself! I actually asked him if I could do it on my...

Most of the community colleges in MA offer an LPN to RN bridge program. I would check with whichever CC is closest to you. I know that Mass Bay, QCC, Mt Wachusett all offer the program as does Lawrence Memorial.

I recommend attending an Allied Health open house asap!! They will give you the scoop on the minimum requirements and what to do/what not to do. I *think* the min GPA for the program is 3.2 and you need 24 credits with MBCC. Completing as many co-req...

Yes, I did get in. I think I have 26ish credits. I know that the minimum required for the program is 24. Why do you ask?

I got mine today too.. finally!! Yay!!!!

Anyone??? Please..... The wait is killing me.

The MassBay ADN day program is 2 years, regardless of how many transfer credits you have. The MBCC ADN evening program is 3 years. UMass Boston has an accelerated BSN program for those who already hold a bachelors that is 15 months start to finish. T...

I have only applied to one school, it is the school that best fits my completed pre reqs, my schedule and my budget. If by chance I do not get a seat in the fall class I do have another program to apply to that has rolling admissions (and is not yet ...

UMass Boston is 22K plus books and will more than likely be going up as all UMass schools are increasing their fees.

I did not apply to Simmons but wanted to say a big congratulations on your acceptance!!

Thank you! I was hoping someone in the night/ weekend program would reply. This is the program that I think will work out best for me schedule wise so I am excited to hear you like it. Now I am really looking forward to the info session!

I could have written this post my self two weeks ago and completely sympatize with you. The first 4 chapters were painful for me to say the least, especially chemistry, I was completely lost. What helped me to get through my studying and actaully com...

I think in the past their NCLEX pass rate has not been that high, in 2007 it was 76%, which is not horrible but not great either. I looked into their program and the price tag alone made me look elsewhere.

Congratulations on your acceptance!!!

I am waiting impatiently as well, until APRIL!!!!!! It is killing me!

Congratulations!
