Thanks for your replies. I think that QC is the least expensive ADN program out there in southern MA. JNGraham - are you in the full time or part time program? They told me FT is full for Sept. and the PT there is a wait list. I knew I would have to take sciences b/c I never took them when I got my Bachelors in Business. I graduated in '99 so hopefully the credits are still good for the Math,History, and English. How did you find the accuplacer? I tried some of the online sample tests and did ok but not great. It has been so long since I have been in school so I'd like to know how I can brush up on the subjects you are tested on. Any advice? I am going to get my transcripts and meet with someone at the NQ Extension to go over the courseload and program. Can you give me an idea how much you expect it will cost once you finish (not taken into account financial aid of course) and what the courseload looks like? Thanks!

I'm considering changing careers from human resources to nursing. I have a BS from Northeastern in Business (1999) and want to get into nursing the least expensive way possible. Anyone go to Quincy College for their ADN? I am wondering if I can bypass the English, Math, etc. courses and just take the science and nursing courses? Is anyone else in a similar situation - going from a BS in Business and wanting to get an RN? I, like many of you, don't have the financial means (or time) to do an accelerated BSN program so I want to get an ADN, get a job, then use tuition assistance to go for my BSN. I also have a newborn and work part time/ Can anyone share with me their experiences if they are in a similar boat? Also, how much did it cost to get your ADN when you already have a Bachelors in an unrelated field?
