There are plenty of jobs for LPN's in Northeast CT. The pay all over CT is good but the cost of living is also high.
CT has a bridge program through the Community College system for CT LPN grads. I think they do accept others on a limited basis.
Those of you who have (or almost have) a Bachelor's should look at the MSN programs. Sacred Heart and Quinnipiac accept non-nurses into the MSN program. You start in an accelerated RN program because you have to be an RN to start clinicals. You graduate in less than 3 years as a Nurse Practitioner. The cost is fairly reasonable, less than UConn's MSN which does require RN first. With Sacred Heart a lot of courses are even online. I'm finishing my BS (non-nursing) and going that route. They also have just the accelerated RN program for those who don't want to get a MSN but already have a BA or BS.
