    djandkmommy replied to djandkmommy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I can't :- ( You can't even apply unless you have all your pre-requisites finished. I would need to have A&P I done first. Also, financially, a two year program won't work. I need to...

  8. LPN Program -Traditional College or Voc/Tech School?

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Definitely A&P I if I can get it. I really would like to get that out of the way to lessen the workload in Sept. If I can get a College Math I will take that as well. I'm pretty good at math...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I will be attending a 10 month problem just south of Boston, MA at a community college. I was told it is roughly $18,000 by the school and when I add up the credit costs that is pretty

  12. My husband said something that got me to thinking.

    djandkmommy replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Sad but true! I'm not sure about the nursing industry (I'm soon to be a student) but my experience with my old company (insurance) was that the less you did, the higher you were promoted. So...

  13. LPN Program -Traditional College or Voc/Tech School?

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Oh, I'm sorry - I thought I mentioned it. My name is Tanya Morrissey. I went to drs. today for sinus infection and got my TB injection and blood taken for titers. I hope I don't need any more...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thank you so much for mentioning the orientation! I called QC and got all the information (which should have been sent to me before but wasn't). Of course the orientation is the exact same time as...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    :yeah: Yea! Awesome news! I knew it would be coming but it is still so hard to wait. I didn't get anything about an orientation - I wonder if that is because I am a returning student? I'll...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm sure it will come soon. I didn't get the impression that they were really prompt with them if you know what I mean. You could Admissions to see when the letters are going out. You...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Donna - The only info I got (when I was looking at South Eastern Tech.) was that if I wanted to go on to an RN program, most colleges can be difficult about excepting nursing credits from other...

  18. How do you keep your hands in good shape?

    djandkmommy replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    Eczema runs in my family :zzzzz The products that work best to keep it under control for us are Aquaphor and Bag Balm (which I think is what the previous poster meant as udder cream). Both are...

    djandkmommy replied to djandkmommy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    djandkmommy replied to djandkmommy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    djandkmommy replied to djandkmommy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  22. Anyone in the LPN full time program at Quincy College for the fall?

    djandkmommy replied to djandkmommy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    djandkmommy replied to ctenor's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    djandkmommy replied to scootersuz's topic in LPN to RN
