I also am very excited and scared at the same time. Well I'll be commuting from Quincy, don't know if there's anyone in my area, would b great to car-pool, and share expenses. God help us all! :yelclap:

ivegotmusicheart, I fully understand. One of my good friends is on a waiting list, she's also accepted into bhson, I'm crossing my fingers she will be at Massasoit with me, it will be so last minute if she's called. I hope those who are not going to attend Massasoit let them know, as soon as they know. :)

Hi everyone, just letting ou all know. when I reicved aceptance letter from massasoit on Friday. I contacted Quincy college and had my name taken off their enrollment list. So thats "one more space" available for "hopefuls". Good luck everyone!

CMA it is scary and exciting at the same time. Got my fingers crossed for everyone here. I have a classmate I am "pulling" for, hope she made it in as well. I was checking programs cost. If I am not mistaken for only the nurisng core courses it comes to around 7k-8k for both years? really? Massasoit's must be the least expensive RN program in the area! I hear it's a good program too. The letter is very generic, and doesn't ask for a deposit either. Not sure if this letter I recieved is for current students attending Massasoit. The dates are wrong on letter too. Does anyone know if there's an orientation before September? Any more hopefulls with news?

Hi Cally just to let you all know. I have rescinded my enrollment in the Quincy college nursing program. I will bd attending Massasoit in fall, and u let them know at Quincy college right away to "free up" a space. I know others ate trying to get into Quincy I just favored Massasoit for my budget and the "children's center" there for my boys. I'm do very happy I got in!

CMA, I looked on the Massasoit's class schedule on the website, looks like nrsg 1 class component is 2 days a week 10-11:50-definetly doable for me. I know clinicals at hospital are 2 days a week. I hope labs on Friday are not every Friday, it would be even nicer if labs were on same day as class. I will talk to the dept, about possiblity assigning me clinicals in area around the school so I can drop of my boys at the "Children's center". ohh so much to get reading for. yes it is exciting and also scary. It's great CMA you already work in the field, I hope to catch on quick. :w00t:

Yay!! :yelclap: Hope I get mine today too. CMA just keep reading it over and over so that you KNow it's not a dream. I know it's not going to be easy, but like you said CMA we will manage. I am Keeping track of all those who get accepted to know who my classmates will be, and I say to all those who don't get in this time, "not to get discouraged". BTW Quincy College's deadline is May 15 still, in case anyone's interested, going to "free up" my space there once I get Massasoit's letter. God I hope I can do this!!!

That's Great CMA! Just to let you know they get a thousand applicants for their nursing program not 400. Each year the number of applicants increases. I hope I can hack the program. Why does lab have to be on a different day than classes? Oh well that's a full 5 days the boys will need child care. Yes please let us know about the schedule, I wonder if we can req to be placed for clinicals in a location. It's great news! CMA- you applied only to Massasoit. Someone up there is definetly looking out for you. ?. I guess we will be meeting soon. Best wishes to all other "hopefuls"!

Ladies, I cannot believe it! I was logged in to my massasoit account to complete my online Hist course discussions and just by chance I checked my unofficial transcript and it said "Nursing Day program" I Got in!!!!! I cannot believe it! All my hard work truly paid off. I was turned down last year and went and "hit" the books some more, took more classes. I'm in! I cannot wait till I recieve my letter, my boys will be going to the massasoit "Childrens center" atleast 3 days a week. So don't give up girls. keep trying till you get in. Still in shock, I think Massasoit is the most competative MA ADN Nursing programs to get into in the Boston area. I hope the schedule is good. Anyone know the schedule? Are clinicals 2 days a week, and class component 2 days a week? Just to let you know, as soon as I get my letter I will call Quincy College and let them know I will be attending Massasoit, so a spot can "free up" over there for those applying. One journey over and another has just begun. I'll be staying tuned to this thread and hope to hear more good news here. Supporting each other is the best we can do :kiss bringing out the bubbly this weekend ! :cheers: still cannot believe it.

umb-I think it's close to it. On the screen when taking the test, there isn't much room for very long passages. But becareful, the reading is tricky, I walked away thinking I got everything right, which I didn't.

CMA-No I don't think it does. When I applied last year it took this long too. Hopefully, 2nd times the Charm..

The Mail arrives. ....there's a med size brown envelope from Massasoit my hands shake as I open it and... (drum roll) ..it's for the June Graduation, 3 tickets for my guests and info on the ceremony . Oh God, how will I last till early May? I'm sure I didn't get in, the competition is fierce! sorry for being such a joker, couldnt resist.

Cally, I just read your other posts, I see your concern. Taking the accuplacer as soon as possible is the best I can advise you. Schedule it and Do some review on testprep.com or collegetest prep.com and click on accuplacer. if your scores fall short you can reschedule the reading section or any other section for retake right away for 30 days after (rule) if if they get all the applicants needed, it doesn't mean everyone one of themis going to attend QC. Your classes you are taking now, willyou be done with them by the application deadline? to have the transcripts to give QC?

Cally, did you schedule your accuplacer exam yet? Hopefully you have or will schedule soon. Schedule it for within a few days or week time, and study this weekend, particularly reading comprehension. Take the exam and hopefully you get a 95 or more and apply asap, the same day. Make sure you have your official transcripts. HS transcripts, test scores and whatever they need. I don't think QC needs a recommendation letter or personal statement. I was discouraged too and made it. Don't give up! you are taking chem now, have you done any other sciences? and do yo have other courses taken and out of the way? it's good to get them done.

hlj yes I completed all my reqs just this past Fall semestre. Micro was the last one I had to do, and it was tougher than I was expecting. I'm all done with my pre reqs this time around including Human and growth dev. when I applied last year, I still had a&p2 and Micro to take.
