Hello!

I also got accepted into the Fall 2010 RN program. I am super excited, as im sure you are as well. I posted a similar question that you are asking as a reply on another post. It was on a thread of people who have begun the RN program September 2009. Someone replied to my question so you can check that out on the thread I believe titled " what scores got you into QC's nursing program" Just search Quincy College and all the posts related to the program come up.

I know someone who just started the part time RN program at QC about a week ago. They said they have covered 10 chapters(Im assuming 5 in lecture/5 in lab) within the first week and have their first test on tuesday. Their first on site clinical is at South Shore Hospital. They said the instructors have been awesome so far.

Im so happy you posted this. I can't wait to meet everyone and am excited for orientation! The count down is on till September 2010:yeah:

Hey Guys!

I'll be starting full time with you come September. I'm really anxious to get started. I've heard a lot of good things about the program. Do you guys have any experience in the field already? I'm completely new to it but I'm trying to take a CNA course so I can get licensed and work as a CNA while I'm in school.

See you in Sept!

Hello,

I'm excited and anxious as well. You can add me on facebook if you'd like (Barbara Torres (UMass Network)). I'd like to get to know people in the program so that we can answer eachothers questions about the program or share information we find out about it. Only experience I have in the field is that I've been working as a CNA for about four years now, since my freshman year at UMass Amherst. I'd like to find a job and place to live closer to quincy since my commute at the moment would be about an hr long just to get there. Anyone know what the schedule would be like for the nursing classes, would a long commute be hard to deal with?

Congrats! I have experience being a CNA. I got lucky and found out about the Welch companies they have several nursing homes all over the south shore and Boston. I didn't pay a dime to get my CNA certification the welch companies paid me to work at one of their nursing homes (Harbor House in Hingham) and take a CNA class once a week paid for by them. and within 3-4 months I was eligiable to schedule the exam through the American Red Cross. They paid for the exam and I passed. The experience alone is priceless most of the stuff we learn the first semester of our nursing classes I ve already learned being a CNA. Bed making, bed baths, feeding, Vitals, positioning and learning bedside manner with confidence makes going into clinicals less scary. I would highly recommend working for them. At the home I worked at some of the shift nurses would let you assist them in doing injections/ caths etc if you are a nursing student. Its a great great learning experience.

I also worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield and am very familiar with medical terminology and coding not sure how much that will help me in nursing school but who knows.

Good luck!

Has anyone heard anything about when we sign up for classes and all that? My work has said that they'll see if its an option for me to stay working here part time but I'd need to know what times and how many days a week clinicals and classes are. Anyone heard anything about the hours? I just got something from QC about my transfer credits but that's it since I got the acceptance letter.
