I just graduated from a LPN program and am eager to get into a RN program. I am looking for any information regarding QuincyCollege/Massasoit. I am looking for info for either their part-time programs or full-time programs. I have gotten their basic info but nothing about what hours they are, or clinical sites, things like that. I have a young son whom I would have to make child care arrangements for. If any of you have attended these programs I would appreciate any info you would have to offer.
I'm not referring to the Jan 2011 program. That one is the next one they have after this one that starts in Sept 2009. The evening program is a part time program that runs for 3 semesters. So this one ends in Dec 2010 and a new one will start up in January 2011.
Also, Massasoit does not use the NET exam any longer, they use a test called the NEAT exam which is basically a reading exam with no math at all. I believe you have to score 70 or higher to be considered for the program. You can go to Massasoit's web site to get information about the exam.
I have all prereqs and coreqs completed so all I will have to do is the Nursing portion of the program. I passed the exam with 85. There are no books available that I know of out there. There are only 20 questions on the exam but you want to answer them as fast and accurate as you can. Although you have a hour to take the test, Somehow the amount of time you take is factored in. I took it in 20 minutes but let me warn you this is a computer generated test and there are 50 people in the room taking it along side you. As people begin to finish their tests it gets very noisy with printers printing out results, and talking, ect. I found this to be very distracting because you really need to be focused on the reading. If I were you I would buy a cheap pair of ear plugs so you won't lose you concentration, and you can focus. I wish I had. I'm sure I would have done better. The reading is not easy, light reading. I hope this helps.
OH yeah I have not contacted the Director because I don't want to be a pain in the ***. I will just continue to check the mail everyday and hope for the best.
:yeah::yeah:Here we go again, back to nursing school. Bring on the stress.
