BHSN: Applying to Bridgeport Hosp for Fall 2013

U.S.A. Connecticut

Published

Hi All,

I thought I would start a new topic for those of us who are planning to apply to BHSN's Nursing program for the Fall 2013.

I will get things started with my stats (which aren't great...but not too terrible!):

TEAS - 78% (planning to re-take)

GPA - 3.2 (currently)

I also applied to GWCC and Southern, so hopefully I will get into one of these programs!

Wannabenurse23: Did you get your letter yet? Maybe you got it today???

Anyone else?

Can't wait to get our Orientation packet in late Spring so we can get started with all the requirements.

For those that applied to Gateway, their decisions were just posted on MyCommNet. They are not sending out letter this year. It's all online.

I applied to both and thank God, I got accepted to both, but I am choosing BHSN definitely.

MP: I am glad to see you have made a firm decision about which school you will attend. Do you think you could post to the other thread - the CT-CCNP thread - that you will not be accepting your seat at Gateway? A few people have found out they have been waitlisted, and understandably are not happy. I think if you tell them you are giving up your seat, it would give them a little hope. I got accepted to Gateway, and since I haven't heard from BHSN yet, it is likely I am taking my seat with them. I am sad we won't get to meet, but I wish you all the best for the future.

JaRoJoCT: If you got accepted to BHSN, would you choose BHSN?

I had a hard time deciding. I always wanted to attend BHSN but because I didn't hear back from them before the end of the application period, I had to apply to Gateway as a backup. It wasn't until then that I considered another school.

They both have strong points. I did a pros and cons list and still had a hard time.

BHSN is an older program and offers alot more hands on clinical experience. They are also a day program and offer an accelerated program.

Gateway is a newer program. It's an evening program and is alot cheaper. Plus they have a new campus so their classrooms are top notch.

See, totally different pros and cons.

MP: I think that Gateway is going to work for me, because it is more affordable. I really want to go to BHSN, and if they do offer me a spot, I'm really going to have a tough decision on my hands. I've heard good things about BHSN, and I like that there is a better clinical experience, which is crucial in this field. If I am faced with the decision of having to pick between the two schools, I'm afraid for me, it would come down to the simple fact of the money! Whichever I can afford, that's where I'm going! Ha...sucks! Unless I get a windfall, it's looking like Gateway!

MarcusPaxton: Congrats on getting accepted to both schools that is awesome!!! I also wanted to apply to gateway as a backup, but unfortunately I could not because I did not have A@P1 finished yet. I am still waiting to hear from BHSN and I feel like I am literally going insane worrying. I can only think that I must have been denied since everyone else has already heard back. Also, I think you are making the right choice going to BHSN since they do have a very strong clinical component.

JaRoJoCT: Congrats on getting into Gateway!!!

Hello everyone, decided to post on here and see who my fellow classmates may be. I recieved my acceptance letter from bhson and am very excited! I applied to bhson and gateway and got in both but ill be going with bhson. Anyone know when orientation packets will be going out?

JustMe28: Congrats on your acceptance letters. You must be so excited!

Thanks, yes and nervous! Congrats on your acceptance to gwcc.

JustMe28: Our acceptance letters say that the orientation packets will be going out late Spring.

Congrats to everyone that was accepted to Bhsn, can't wait to meet you all!!!!! I was wait listed for NVCC :( but it's ok , they were not my first choice

JaRoJoCT: Have you heard from BHSN yet? Just wondering if you know if theres A definite date when all letters are sent by.

KristenR: No, I haven't heard from them yet. I got accepted to Gateway...so I think for sure I'm going there. If I were you, I would call the school again, or email them. Just so you keep them on top of your application. Good luck!
