I will be applying for next fall. I need to get my prereqs done. Figure I ought to be able to retake the test anyway in that time. Would like to raise my score to a point where I can feel confident that I will get in.

THanks for the info. I got 112 on the reading comprehension, which I told is the score that is the first one they look at. I think I may take it again just to be sure. Thanks again

I am wondering what the scores are of some of the people on this site that got into Quincy College's RN program. Anyone that is willing to share would be very helpful. Thanks

Thank you so much for all of this info..everyone. I plan on applying to a few LPN programs and will look into these. I now plan on applying to RN programs. I took the test at QC and, from what I have been told, I scored very high and the advisor thought I should go right into an RN. We will see...still trying to figure things out and I am sure I will be back on here soon looking for assistance. Thanks again to everyone

Thanks for the reply. I was not aware of South Easton- I will have to look into that. When I looked at Blue Hills- which is about 10 minutes from my house- I thought they only offered a CNA, not an LPN. Will have to look further into that as well- thanks. I am also applying to RN programs, just want to keep my options open. The LPN is attractive because I could complete that program and complete the prereqs for an RN at the same time. I have almost no science background. The hope is to work with the LPN until I get my RN, and it seems like I will need my BSN and some experience to get into what I really want to do- work in a hospital. Thank again

Cool, thanks for the info. Do you know of any other programs in the Boston area that offer an LPN other than QC, Shawnshee (sp?) and Roxbury CC?

Thanks for the reply. Based on the practice tests and what I have read elsewhere on this site regarding the placement test, I would absolutely be surprised if anyone with a Master's degree did not "pass" the test. I have done quite a few tests and read postings on the test and at this point I am not concerned. I am probably confused about the LPN job postings. However, I have also read on this site that some hospitals (metro west) do still hire LPNs. Those posts may be dated though.

I have a few questions I would love assistance with. 1. I am applying to Quincy College- most likely the LPN- and I am curious what the Accuplacer test scores of admitted students might be. I have left a VM and emailed QC (they have been difficult to impossible to get in touch with on anything) regarding this and to make sure I have to take the test. I currently have a Master's degree, so it seems odd that I would need a general academics test. 2. How many men went through LPN or RN programs in the Massachusetts with some of the users? Are there any men out there? 3. I have read that the area's hospitals do not hire LPNs but I have found quite a few jobs at hospitals for LPNs posted by hospitals. Can anyone give me information on this? Thanks
