Well, here's one more...a long-time reader and new poster.
I'm a biologist who left her oh-so-lovely lab job to take pre-reqs full time for UConn's MbEIN program, whose attendees seem to be almost entirely absent from this site...strange. I finished my courses, all good, but then lo and behold it turns out they filled their program before I could even be looked at! Anyways, I'm now waiting to hear on the one spot that opened due to a declined offer.
Contemplating what to do with the potential year's wait. Sigh. CNA? Unit clerk? Good old normal job again? Contemplating navel? Oh how I hope I can just get in for January. Anxious to get going, pulling out my hair. Bemoaning CT's high cost-of-living!
Welcome Adenium, Did I understand correctly, are you trying to get into the RN program at UCONN?? Is it the BSN or the MS. Once again welcome!:welcome:
Well, I already have a BA in Biology and am hoping to be an ACNP someday. The MbEIN program is designed for 2nd degree folks so I could take the NCLEX after a year's classes and be working as an RN while taking master's classes. It's a really nice setup, I just wish it weren't the only one that's feasible time-wise and financially. It's a small program, and they don't look at you until all your pre-reqs are done....but have three admission cycles during the year so it can fill up before you even have a chance. Yup, that was my luck. If only I'd quit my job earlier and started taking classes one semester earlier!
;)I wish you the best. I went to UCONN so if you have any questions. I did their BSN program.

welcome Norwalk, I didn't go to NCC but if you have a questions don't hesitate to ask. Good luck you are about to start a crazy roller coaster ride. Don't be scared, use that nervousness into energy. You will do just fine. GOod luck
