Hi, I am currently in the BHCC Nursing program which started in January 2015. I don't know if the application process has changed since things do seem to change a lot at BHCC but this is how things went when I applied. Step one was to submit my appli...

I know seriously! It's a lot of reading for such short notice considering tomorrow is the first day of class. Thankfully we don't have to lug those books to school tomorrow I need to get a better backpack first! Lol

Did they email you guys that you are clear for clinical? I sent an email Tuesday asking if I was cleared but I haven't recieved anything back? I know I brought all the right papers in but I'm kinda worried now...

Hey Karatefoot, I submitted all my paperwork & sent an email to check if I am clear for clinical but likewise haven't received an email back. Granted I only sent the email yesterday checking in but all my paperwork has been handed in since Decemb...

Thanks for the info you guys are awesome!

Uh oh! In regards to the email it says we were suppose to get malpractice insurance? Has anyone done this? & how do we go about getting this or is it included in our signing up for nursing classes?

Just checking in so you guys know you're not alone. I don't have anything extra either. No syllabus or anything remotely similar. None of the papers I recived at orientation have any instructions referring to what needs to be read.

For some reason I have a feeling we aren't going to know until the first day of class....

Okay, thanks anyways for posting :)

Karatefoot, do you mind sharing which of the books you bought the older editions? I wouldn't mind saving some money if I can, seeing as how I haven't ordered mine yet. Thanks!

I got mine too! I can't sew to save my life thankfully my boyfriends mom can lol!

That's perfect thank you soooo much!

Jackelyn, do you mind posting what books you ended up purchasing and how much they costed? I was looking at the list given to us at orientation then found them on amazon but after adding up all the "required" books, it's amounting to much more than 3...

I was freaking out about the insurance yesterday when signing up only because they had assured me like last week that it was waived but yes thank god it's all taken care of now. I was not trying to pay an extra 1,000$. As for the books I haven't even...

I've decided I'm going to just work 20-25 hours max. I think I'm going to start with 20 and then if I feel like I can handle it I'll just pick up some more hours but you're right Skay, you certainly don't want to burn yourself out this is just the be...

Hi Skay226, I mentioned that in our acceptance letters at the bottom of the page it says we must bring a immunization history and it says you can find the form on the bhcc website. I printed it out and brought it to my doctor but for some reason I fe...

Hi guys hopefully this is helpful, it says in our acceptance letters which room we meet in, I don't have the letter with me right now but I remember it is in there. In regards to BHCC payment plans there is such a thing, I have used it before for a p...

I agree Jackelyn any experience with patients is a bonus (I work for Lahey too lol small world) In your opinion what do you like better primary care or plastics?

Skay-Wow, that's really interesting! Sounds a lot like Public Health Nursing which I've always been interested in. It's nice that you're a CNA even though you haven't worked as one yet your training will still be a big help. I've heard during our fir...

Haha aw thanks, yeah I'm hoping some of the experience I've had will be helpful. I'm still pretty nervous though. If you don't mind me asking what do you mean by "counsel-y"? Do you work in mental health?

I live a good 45-50 mins from Boston (on a good day when there's no traffic lol) but I don't really mind the commute my cars pretty good on gas. As for working in the medical field I've been a nursing assistant for about 4 years now. I've worked in r...

I'm 20

Looks like I'll be seeing you then jackelyn

I second that jackelyn89, it does feel like forever. I completed all pre-reqs and co-reqs so that all I will have is clinicals and nursing lectures/labs so it took me a while to get here. But none the less it's still extremely exciting! Would anyone ...

Thanks lcp15! I will try to do the same :)
