1. Question for those waitlisted

   toonsis replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut

   Retake a&p I, yes the C+ is not great, but 25% of admissions criteria is based on A&P I alone. Your GPA is killing your chances. Retake your lower ones. The CT community colleges are numbers driven. You can do this! My friend had a lower Te...

2. CT-CCNP 2017

   toonsis replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut

   Good luck to all! I graduated from Gateway a year ago, I moved down South for a new grad residency program. I love my job! I still keep in touch with some professors and clinical instructors; as a whole they are very supportive. If anyone has questio...

   toonsis replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut

   Agnes, your stats are good, but TEAS are low. When you take them on Friday make sure you get a print out to see where your weakest section is. If you don't pass on Friday you have a couple of weeks to practice and retake it one more time. Amazon h...

4. Question about the prerequisites for nursing school at the CC level...

   toonsis replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut

   It's really hard to say based on the info you've given. But you can do this! I was in your shoes too, my undergrad gpa was 2.9 but my applying gpa was 3.69 which helped out a lot. Maybe meet with somone from the nursing deptmarment or info sessio...

5. Southern and Quinnipiac Accelerated Nursing program's

   toonsis replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut

   I'm at Gateway, I have a Bachelor's in biology, and couldn't afford the accelerated programs. I think with the an associate program you can work 24 hours ok, but it would be tremendously difficult in an accelerated program. The community colleges h...

   toonsis replied to JBLove's topic in Connecticut

   Hi guys. I'm at Gateway finishing my first year. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but I love it. My clinical group is like a family. I was pulled from the waitlist, I was under ten last year. They had over 400 people apply this year. Don'...

7. How to survive without a support system??

   toonsis replied to joljenni's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm so sorry you are going through this. Honestly, you will find a tremendous support system at school. Not everyone, but most people at school will be in the same boat as you. During our student orientation, we actually discussed that not everyon...

8. Midwife assistant a good plan?

   toonsis posted a topic in CNM

   Hi all! Here's a bit of my background, I'm starting my ADN program in 2 weeks. I already have a bachelors degree, from 8 years ago. My main hurdle is a weak GPA, undergrad was a 2.9, which is not representative of my abilities at all. I have no h...

9. Applying to GCC and BHSN Fall 2014

   toonsis replied to polysuazo's topic in Connecticut

   I don't think the specific pb cuff matters, ask at orientation to be sure. I would say make sure you get a large cuff? I have a regular LL Bean backpack already, but maybe one with wheels for our heavy books? Two weeks before orientation, crazy!

    toonsis replied to polysuazo's topic in Connecticut

    Ok, we can figure something out. Don't forget Monday is our last day to register, that's what MB told me. Of course I went to pay and the amount they told me I needed to hold my classes was wrong I'm praying they won't drop my class, I have to cal...

12. Applying to GCC and BHSN Fall 2014

    toonsis replied to polysuazo's topic in Connecticut

    It would be nice to somehow actually physically say hi on Thurdsay. Although, there's a lot of us in one room :) Do you think you will sign up for day or night clinicals?

13. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    toonsis replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut

    To the accepted Gateway students, when do you guys have to register by? I am wondering when they start pulling people from the waitlist. Thanks everyone :)

    What is the accelerated vs traditional track? Thank you.

15. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    toonsis replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut

    I75 is for gateway only. I know it sounds crazy that each school has such a big list, I bet almost no one gets called for their 2nd choice. 10 to 15 years ago they virtually had no wait lists or short ones, so people got pulled to their 2nd choic...
