  2. Simmons: Former or current ABSN students

    ryanalice replied to PennyS's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  3. applying to Quincy College part time program for Jan 2013

    ryanalice replied to ryanalice's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes, I think so. Mainly because they have a daytime program that starts in Jan. That would be better for me with two preteen kids at home to keep tabs on in the afternoon/evening hours. So I'm still...

    ryanalice replied to dedicated2Help's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How old are your kids? When mine were little I went to a college that had a great campus preschool. The staff was awesome - they were all early childhood ed majors. Also it had a sliding scale...

    Hi! I have 2 kids too and I got pregnant with my oldest when I was only 19. It is hard but you can do it. I went back to college when in my 20s and got a BA in English. My kids were 4 and 2 when I...

    Thanks for all th advice - great

  15. what if you already have a B.S?

    ryanalice replied to laurie121's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    They do have programs like that. They can be pretty competitive-at least the ones in my area are - but you should look into

  16. Massasoit CC, Roxbury CC ?

    ryanalice replied to hlj123's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    From what I've heard it's recommended to do the corequs in advance but not essential. If your program doesn't meet during the summer, you could maybe take Micro

  19. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    ryanalice posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I already have a Bachelor's in another field and have been trying to decide between getting an ASN at a local community college, or an accelerated BSN program. I went to an info night at a school...

  20. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    ryanalice replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I understand what you're saying DTWriter, and I wish I could do it that way, but I just don't think it will be possible. The accelerated BSN programs around here are very intensive and you can't work...

  21. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    ryanalice replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hm, I'm in a major city (Boston) and I know that hospitals around here do have a strong preference for hiring Bachelor's prepared nurses. Many will only hire those will Bachelor's degrees. But, I...

  22. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    ryanalice replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hm, that's a tough one. In my area all of the programs are competitive but the Accelerated ones are even more so, so that's another thing steering me away from that. If I were you, I would check in...

    ryanalice replied to ginaw623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a single mom of two kids - and there are a lot of living expenses for myself and the kids - so not working is not an option for me, unfortunately. I wish it was! I do plan to cut down from full...
