CT Colleges Ready to apply for 2009!!

Published

Hello, I just thought to start a thread, for support and information for the future nursing students from Connecticut area. As we all know, it's hard to get in to the program. so let's try to work together with new advisements, precautions, suggestions and support. Does anyone is ready to apply this coming spring? has anyone has taken the TEAS test? :nuke:

Thanks for the great info!

My situation is a little different, and although I love the community college setting, I ideally want to have an RN in 1 year...

I've already gotten my associates at Manchester community and will have my B.S. in Biology from UCONN this may.

Do you think if I apply to Bridgeport that I will have my ASN upon completion?

Then if I do choose to become an APRN (which is my ultimate goal), I could always do an RN to BSN program and then do my masters from there....

I just feel like I'm going in circles with school, and I just want to be done already!

hopefully I'll get into a BSN program, but my GPA isn't the greatest, so I'm very skeptical :banghead:

If you go to Bridgeport, you will have a diploma because in order to have your ASN, your co requisites and pre reqs will have had to have been at Housatonic CC, but having an associates and bachelors already will make it easy to get BSN later on. Having a Bachelors degree already, you wont need to go from RN to BSN before a masters..depending on where you live, you can go to Fairfield or Uconn for the fast track to Masters in nursing by having a bachelors degree in pretty much anything. Check out those schools sites for more info. You can actually do that now without going through an ASN program.

Hi!

I stumbled across this post and had a few questions.

-Bridgeport Hospital offers a certificate program. With this degree would it be possible to eventually get your APRN if you have a B.S. in another field?

I'm interested in Bridgeport but with my ultimate goal of becoming an NP, I believe you need your BSN...

Any advice on schools that offer accelerated programs for non-nursing majors?

I've looked at Yale, Southern, Quinnipiac and Fairfield. Any I'm missing?

A BS in another field can get you on a fast track masters in nursing program..check out Uconn, Fairfield....

Hey guys ,

I am applying to 5 CT and 2 NY schools, so I hope to get in somewhere. I finished my prerequisites a while back and decided to go after my MPH after being rejected and waitlisted for nursing school. So, this time around I hope to get in somewhere. I wish everyone the best when doing those pre-requisites try to get at least a B in them.

Hello TrepinCT, I just wanted to let you know, that I was at Yale Nursing school building at New haven town, with my husband for different type of business, but I went to the nursing admission office just to check out for curiosity and I got to meet a really nice lady, that had told me about their program. the acceptance is standard steps as any other regular nursing school. they take applications until feb 2009. and their program is for people whom have already complete their bachelors in any other field (preferably science) she told me that the program is about three years for Master in Nursing. hoped this can help!!!

Hi,

Yes that program at Yale is called GEPN and I applied there around three years ago and got rejected most likely because of my low GRE scores. If your interested UCONN has that same three yr program for the msn..

Have you applied to SCSU? I was told that the accelerated program was already closed for 2009.

No, this is how it goes. ACE candidates have to be accepted by university by Aug 2008. I was accepted by the university and now I can apply to ACE. The ACE applications just became available today and due in Feb. I already put it in the mail, lol!1

Hi Nika,

Did you apply to NCC? If not, why, if you dont' mind me asking.

Yes, actually I sent off the gateway application this past weekend and I added NCC and three rivers in Norwich to the application, because the community colleges give you an option to apply to all of the nursing programs at community colleges in CT.
