New To Connecticut -need Help W/ School

[lmekuria]

Hello everyone!

Is anyone from Connecticut. I need advice on some schools. I'm getting ready to start taking my pre-req classes just Anatomy and physiology and chemistry. I need to know which community school is better Capital community college or Tunix community college? please tell me what you guys think about these two schools as far as teachers how dedicated and well rounded they are....or any other school that you guys might recommend.

I couldn't find any reviews online. O

Tunxis classes will transfer but they don't have a Nursing program. I took all my prereqs at Capital and will be graduating from there this month (Yay me! lol). I felt that was an easier way because the classes transfered better (I have heard some people tried to transfer electives in and Capital wouldn't accept them).

Capital is probably the best school in CT for an ADN in CT. We have one of the highest pass rates in the state and hospitals have been known to hire Capital students before they hire students with a BSN.

It's a tough program. We started with around 165 students. Lost some, picked up some repeats and LPNs and we will graduate with under 100. But you know your stuff when you graduate. I have learned so much I can't even begin to tell you.

The instructors for nursing at Capital are amazing. The really care about the students. A few are hard core, but most are excellent teachers who will go out of their way to give you the best knowledge there is.

Good luck on your choice :)
