Hello,
I have applied to Quincy College's ASN part-time program for Spring 2018. I was wondering if anyone that has completed this program before could give me some insight. If I were to get in, does the program start right at the beginning of January or towards the end? Also, they said that we would be hearing if we got in or not around mid-October. Does anyone know when they usually do the orientation? Is it in October or is it closer to January? Thanks in advance!
Also if anyone else applied to the program and they start hearing back, please let me know!
Yeah, I got wait listed.. And they def changed the pre reqs, as I looked into what I could've did differently. FYI for anyone applying for the future- Quincy is infamous for changing their requirements pretty much year to year, which makes it that much more frustrating for me. I finally had everything they wanted!
I actually wrote the board of higher education about their "recommendations"....I scored in the top 5% for the TEAS and didn't even get wait listed. According to their "requirements", I was in. Not really on the up and up...going to check out Laboure and Brockton Hospital.
I do NOT recommend Laboure. I went there for a semester. It's $10K per SEMESTER of Nursing classes, and it's very disorganized. They push you through your pre-reqs and give you the minimum passing grade, even if you fail. The one nursing semester I did was horribly managed by the teachers, and my clinical rotation was a nightmare. Their NCLEX pass rate is also ~50%. They're not selective at all about admission and a bunch of people in my class failed for the semester. It's a LOT of money for something so terrible.
Would you guys recommend Massasoit? I was looking into it, however I guess their evening program isn't covered by financial aid? I don't know what to do guys. I'm a single mom of 2 who works full time. The Quincy weekend program was ideal for me but they've really turned me off. Any other lpn2rn program recommendations?

You should definitely complete the recommended classes...they are requirements. I am very frustrated as I feel the college is misleading people to apply by listing minimal requirements and then requiring recommended courses...oh well. It is what it is.
