Thanks for the info - I am hoping to get into this program this year.

I just took the test in May. My cousin goes to the High School and is in the MA program. She has most of the teachers that will be teaching the program. She said that they are really strict, but nice.

Did you get your results back yet from the NLN? I took it in March and passed. I am starting school this fall. Let me know if you are in the fall program, we might be classmates! And good luck with the test, the waiting is the hardest part LOL!

I have an interview at on the 6th so hopefully I'll get in. I hate waiting I already have everything for the interview ready. Do you have any advice for the interview?

Congratulations on passing the entrance exam! The interview was pretty basic (everyone was very nice). You have to take another english test that is timed but it was very easy compared to the nln. and then a 10 question math test that was also much easier than the nln. They asked me what my greatest accomplishment was so far and why they should chose me for the program as opposed to someone else. I think they are just looking to find out what your personality is. The rest was just general conversation and then they explained the school schedule and things of that nature. Much better than what I expected, you will do fine. Good luck and keep me posted. Orientation for the new class is June 13th. Hope to see you there.

Thank you! I hope I get in, but if I don't I'm going to try again next year. I will keep you updated.

I didn't get in to the program. I'm on the waiting list. I'm going to take some pre nursing classes at middlesex community colllege and try to get into a program next year. Thank for the advice and good luck!

Sorry to hear that you did not get in for the fall, but you are on the waiting list so you still could start this fall. Things happen and people have to give up their spot sometimes. I took classes at middlesex also and have half of the non nursing classes finished for the rn program. I am going to resume that after I complete the lpn program. Good Luck!
