Diman Regional Voc. Nsg. School - Massachusetts Review

The evening program at Diman Reg. Voc. Nursing School is very difficult if you plan on continuing to work while going to school. Classes are M-Th evenings and shortly after starting classes, clinical rotations start, i.e.hospital/nursing home and that is two days a week, doesn't leave much time to study. Much needs to be prepared before caring for the patients. Charts need to be reviewed, know the diagnoses, signs and symptoms of patient's illness and need to have knowledge of medications, and the special needs of each patient. Even though the program is 2 years, I preferred to attend that as opposed to the 1 year program. Yes, I did continue to work full-time as well. It has been very rewarding returning to school at such a late age ( 45 ) and really appreciating the challenges facing one in this profession. The nursing staff are there to help you and teach you all the steps in becoming the best nurse you can be. There are many obstacles, however, it has been well worth every step of the way.
