I just recently went to a nursing info session at CCRI. There is NOT a waiting list anymore, they take only students that have already completed all pre reqs. Once completed you can apply to the programs, daytime, nightime and weekends. You are accepted based on your grades etc. If not acceoted you continue to apply until accepted, there are better times to apply than others. I have talked to different hospitals and nurses and CCRI has one of if not the best reputation in all of new england. They have a lot of new machines and additional learning tools that no other institution has in new england. The teachers are hard, do not want to hear "sob stories" but are all overly experienced and knowledgeable. I did extensive homework before making my decision and felt like I should share my findings. I also heard a lot of the mosconceptions listed above, wait list, outdated. You ever learn the truth until you find it out for yourself?? My two cents.
