I plan to continue after my ASN to my BSN from Elms College so I'm working on required courses for that program as well.

I look forward to getting to know others who are going through the process! Enjoy the day!

Specializes in Family Nurse Practitioner.

GCC does a 3 day orientation in August 4-8pm? one afternoon in June also. The last evening in August you can bring your families and they have a potluck dinner. While the families are doing their thing the new students are able to ask current and past students questions. it was a nice way to start the program. 4 1/2 weeks to go, it went by fast. Enjoy your summer, prepare for bumps in the road and try to go with flow, if you don't have an nclex book get one. It doesn't need to be 2013 editions the content for nclex is the same. The license and test are $380 plan ahead, also nclex reviews aren't cheap, my pin was $60, white scrubs for one day, that's a lot of money for a nursing student. I worked fulltime until NUR 201. I thought 101 was overwhelming because there was so much going on, its gets better, not easier. When you have a ton of reading and studying focus on the important things: Nursing!! Not pathophysiology. What will the nurse see, what will the nurse do. Do nclex questions. Second year is way harder but so interesting. I actually liked all the reading these past two semesters.

Congrats on almost being done!!! And thanks for those tips! Any others you want to share? What kind of "bumps in the road" did you encounter?

The link is there if you do a search.

I've been waitlisted. I'm beside myself. I don't know what my next move will be. I'm sure it's due to my B- in A&PI. I have an A- in A&PII. It seems silly that I would have to take A&PI again to improve my GPA.

I've gotten As in every other class. I just don't know what else I can do. I don't know if I can put my family through another year of waiting and hoping. I'm just crushed.

Are you sure its accurate? I'm sorry to hear this. If I don't get in I will be crushed also, did you apply anywhere else? That would be an option to retake API or to do LPN then bridge. I cannot see the link even by searching.

I found it. I'm also waitlisted. My God. This is too much.

I'm so sorry. Maybe your number 1. I just tried and couldn't get anything. Searched 2013 and nurse. Hang tough. Maybe it's wrong.

I searched nursing

hey guys, i searched and i been waitlisted too. am crushed. i called Gail at Hartford nursing admissions and she said she'll give me a call back. she's not sure if it's accurate.

I found it. I GOT IN! Im so relieved.

I got in to TRCC!! Wait till you see what spot you are, you both had really awesome stats.

Is there a way to see if you were ranked or random selection? It said awarded a seat, so does that mean I got a ranked seat?

WishingOfBeinNurse, I applied to TRCC as well, CANNOT find the link!! Where is it ???
