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!

And for those of you that are able to check your application status online... When they do make a decision, your status will change from "Under Review" to "Decision Letter Sent". Then you just have to wait for your letter.

Oops, made a mistake! My status changed in December to "Under Review" and I got my acceptance letter on January 18th.

Good luck to all. Someone in my AP2 class just got her letter the other day, so they are moving along getting those letters out.

Thanks MarcusPaxton,

That was very informative, and it made me feel a little bit better. I am still waiting, but my status has said "under review", since JAN 25TH. Iam starting to grow inpatient lol.

Rosemary's_Baby, when did you apply?

I also applied to the connecticut community colleges and to springfield. (fingers-crossed)

Hey NurseKay2012, you should be hearing shortly. Remember, they get the majority of the applications the last week of the application period. So I am sure they are SUPER busy reviewing.

How do you feel your application package will do? Are you happy with all your items, GPA, TEAS score, etc?

So I recieved my application ID, & temporary password, I kept putting it in the website and it said "invalid ID or password" after 3 tries they lock you out so I went under "forgot user ID or password" I put in my email & they sent me the user name and password to that email. It turned out the paper that they sent me was missing a digit! So I used what they sent to my email & it work. "Application under review". So keep an eye out for the wrong information.

Hi WannaBNurse23,

Welcome! I know what you mean about checking the mailbox! I literally stalk my mail lady! Last week...I met her on the sidewalk!....in front of my neighbors house!!!:yes: I couldn't wait for her to get to my front door. Is that pathetic or what? Have you applied to any other programs, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes I applied to NVCC. Waiting for anything from them too.

Hey MarcusPaxton,

I think my application package is ok lol. My gpa is 3.8, but my teas score wasn't that good I only got a 78:(. My references are really strong and I am already a health care professional working as a Respiratory therapist. Decided to go back for nursing ( I want to be an APRN). Soooo hopefully I will get in, my application still under review. Does it change once your letter is sent out?

MarcusPaxton:

Wow! You got in there pretty early! I wish I had done that also...then I wouldn't be kicking myself right now!

NurseKay2012:

I sent in my application on Jan. 22nd...so it hasn't been that long now that I think about it! I don't think they have one of my college transcripts, I'm just realizing, bcuz I also applied to Southern and they sent me a letter on Friday saying they are still waiting for the transcript...and I sent a request to that college asking them to sent an official transcript to both BHSN and Southern at the same time! So I will just keep waiting. I hope you get in to your school of first choice! Good luck!

You have great stats and a great resume...so you should be fine! My stats aren't great, and now I'm really worried. You should be just fine!
