  1. Hartford Hospital questions

    I am very dissapointed with Htfd. Shadowed for a day in their Neuro ICU and the RN I shadowed was like wow you could take my pt's right now. When I sat with the manager she stated that she wanted me in their step down unit and when I expressed my dis...
  2. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    I would make them either put a policy in place that all women be chaperoned when going in a male patient's room or get rid of the other ridiculous policy and be saved from a big discrimination lawsuit. Good luck!
  3. Hartford Hospital questions

    Anyone work at HH? What is it like to nurse there? Is everyone really as happy as the people we met at the open house this week? What are their differentials/pay like? Any other info? Thanks
  4. Question regarding Naugatuck grad rate?

    Graduated NVCC in 2009. We started witj 110, picked up 10 LPN's in the summer and graduated 89. Our NCLEX 1st time pass rate kinda stunk; don't know how as NCLEX is the easiest test you will ever take. Good program run by mostly "evil" instructors (t...
  5. Failed! Now what!?

    I bought the Kaplan 2010 study guide and did about 2,000 questions on Kaplans website. I passed with 75 questions and I feel that using Kaplan really helped. As far as the med questions; remember common side effects for most drugs such as GI issues. ...
  6. Chances of becoming a nurse...

    Wow. First is that you do not have to inform a school of you current grades and you could start fresh with a 2.0 you probably want to do this anyway. Second is that you really have to be committed to survive in nursing school. You think that you will...
  7. New Nurse Grad with no prospects of work

    I am just graduating from a CC in connecticut. All the hospitals have frozen their jobs here for now. We are expecting everything to open up in September and then you will have your pick. Good luck.
  8. Am I a nurse??

    You survived nursing school and should feel proud to call yourself a nurse. You will be a graduate nurse until boards but a "Nurse" all the same. You do not have to wait until your boards ro call yourself a nurse, just remeber you are a grad nurse. W...
  9. Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    When I started the program 2 years ago it was a 3.98. Honestly, I do not look anymore nor do I care what it is anymore. I will just be happy to survive the next few weks and graduate. Best of luck. Ps. C to low B students tend to be tighter in their ...
  10. Did you get any acceptance letters yet?

    Just got mine from Naugatuck Valley today. Can't wait to start this Fall. Daryn PS. Would love to hear from other NVCC Class of 09ers.
  11. I Am In!!!!!

    Just got my letter and I am in for this Fall at NVCC in CT. The preq's were hell :angryfire, but worth the nightmares. Good luck to everyone and if you don't get in keep trying. See you all in the Nursing Forum. Daryn

    Actually, it is not against any rules of any school to not include transcripts. Most schools would be more than happy to charge you again for all of the needed classes. Maybe in Hawaii a low GPA will fly but in Connecticut schools the nursing program...

  14. Chances of becoming a nurse...

    Your higher GPA of 2.5 would not have cut it at any of the nursing programs at schools in connecticut. Do not use any of those previous classes and just take everything again. A college can only find out about your previous grades if you tell them t...
  15. First and Last Year in Nursing

    All I have to say is: What exactly did all of you expect? Flowers and balloons at the beginning of each shift and a foot massage at the end?
