From what I've read on this website about the evening program for RCC: you should get your decision letter somewhere between the beginning to mid December. Good luck to you and to all those who applied!!

No I haven't bought the lab bag yet. I remember at the orientation she told us that the lab bag/kit is needed and that we can't buy it anywhere else except at the RCC bookstore. Also, I learned during my undergrad years that eFollett Bookstore receip...

That's awesome! I got shoes and even asked the secretary of the department about them and she said shoes don't matter as long as they are leather, white and don't have any holes (I did walk into the Nursing lab and saw pics of past students and some ...

@roundbrown26: It doesn't hurt to submit an essay and even a resume along with your application to the school. Also, if you have been in any national honor societies, show them proof of your successes. Recommendations aren't necessary and I don't kno...

Hi Gigi1234, Have you been able to get in contact with anyone in the Nursing Department over at RCC? (This is lizbee227 I just recently changed my name) Also to all of my fellow accepted classmates: We are a little over a month away from starting sch...

Don't give up yet Gigi. Have you also tried hounding Admissions? They are the ones who send out the decision letters on behalf of the nursing department.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one! Yes no sneakers, but I wonder if they have a specific kind in mind for us not to get. At the uniform fitting, there was a pair on the table that really resembled sneakers with clog-like soles.

I agree. I was taking notes the entire time lol... But the information was so helpful and gave me a lot to think about. I hope you were able to register for your first choice lab and clinical sections. I got into mine simply because I picked times no...

Did either of you two attend Orientation yesterday? If so, what did you guys think about it?

Did you guys attend Orientation yesterday? If so, what did you think about it?

Yes kinda. It was the only school that I applied to for the semester. If I hadn't gotten in I would've either continued taking classes at MassBay or tried for UMass Boston a 4th time in November. Nkiru, I did see that you had gotten into Quincy and M...

Congrats to you both on your acceptances. I got my letter today! I'm so excited

I didn't want to say that I had also applied to RCC's Day Program out of fear of jinxing myself, but I did and I got my acceptance letter today!! OAN: Nkiru & Drow27, CONGRATS on your acceptance as well! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at...

I agree with kateabooo. You should also try to get in touch with nurse managers and clinical leaders where you've had clinicals and leave a copy of your resume for them to contact you. Try to speak with your professors and see what they can do to hel...

@Genny: That stinks. I'll be rooting for you from now until June!

@Genny96: Have you heard anything yet from RCC?

Have you looked at other schools and their schedules for summer 2014 courses? I know that Drug Calculations has to be taken at BHCC, but you could try taking courses at another community college and just transfer them afterwards. Just make sure to co...

Thank you Genny so much for the updates! You've really been a great help to me on this site

Same here. I really wish Boston, being the medical mecca it is, presented more avenues for getting CNA training for free in any healthcare setting. They are leaving it to us to do the actual research for these opportunities which only adds to our str...

Just like you I've been on the search for free aide training for years and still haven't found the opportunity to get mine for free. The search is hard and I really wish they would offer more opportunities for nursing students trying to get their fee...

Thank you Genny for all of your information! I did attend an info session but I felt as though it wasn't enough with everyone trying to ask so many questions (and of course the occasional question-hog attendee). I've gotten some additional informatio...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone (new student, current student, or graduated student) could give me any added info about RCC's ADN program. I already know some general things about the school and just want to get a better understanding of RCC. I a...

Any responses would be fantastic... Could anyone tell me about the application process? What was the time frame of when acceptance or rejection letters were sent out for either September or January admittance? How are the professors? Clinical placeme...

Congrats sassy!! How are you liking the program so far? Aside from all the previous posters, has anyone else applied or been through RCC's nursing program as well?

Hi cruz! I would say you're off to a good start. I would suggest that you try to take all of your prereqs at a community college as it will save you a lot of money and the schedules provided by the schools are very flexible for working individuals li...
