  1. CT-CCNP 2021-2022

    Lizardqueen13 replied to Adriannee's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If you’ve met the requirements, then why not apply and see what happens? You’ll have to get your BSN eventually regardless if you want to become/stay employed at a hospital (and many other...

    Lizardqueen13 replied to Adriannee's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    That’s great! I’m sure they’ll call you off the list.

    Lizardqueen13 replied to Adriannee's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Just found out I’m 60 out of 222 on gateway’s waitlist. Probably too high. I got into St. Vincent’s and am waiting to hear from U of

    Lizardqueen13 replied to mousey129's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I decided against it. It would be online; everything is online currently. Thanks for responding

  7. CT-CCNP 2020/2021 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to mousey129's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I have a 3.37 nursing GPA and all A’s and B’s except for my math. I took intermediate algebra 3 times and never got above a D, I took intro to stats and got a C+. If I could pull an A in stats...

  8. CT-CCNP 2020/2021 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to mousey129's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am not sure how the transcripts situation works, but you could email someone in admissions or nursing dept. to see. I’m applying this round too. Good

  9. University of Bridgeport. Connecticut nursing.

    Lizardqueen13 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hi! I’m considering applying to U of B this next application cycle and I’d love to know stats of people who have gotten in, if you don’t mind sharing.

  10. Amazing and Affordable MSN/DNP programs

    Lizardqueen13 replied to aka640's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, I can say the people I know who did Yale’s program have paid off their debt. Those who did Uconn’s have not. Don’t know why exactly or if that even holds value to say LOL, just something...

  11. Five Months Later, Where is the PPE?

    Lizardqueen13 replied to Brian S.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m in Southern CT. We did really well (compared to most) with PPE throughout the pandemic despite having 400 Covid cases in the hospital at one point. We’re back to using PPE as normal and have...

  12. ATI TEAS Price

    Lizardqueen13 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know if the price for the ATI TEAS increased? My school claimed it would only cost $50, but when I go to sign up, they want at least 100, I think it’s $117 exactly. Is this due to Covid...

  13. ATI TEAS Price

    Lizardqueen13 replied to Lizardqueen13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, all around the state (CT) it’s around $110-120. I assume the price is jacked up because it’s being proctored remotely via Proctorio. Until recently, only testing centers have had available...

  14. CT-CCNP 2019/2020 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I think the problem might be that it’s not allowing me to enter my institution like it has in the past. It shows me exam dates in different towns, but none are at any of the

  15. CT-CCNP 2019/2020 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Can anyone tell me how much it cost for them to take the TEAS? I went to sign up and the price is $117. On Gateway’s website, they claim it’s only $50. Did the price increase due to the pandemic,...

  17. CT-CCNP 2020/2021 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to mousey129's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    OMG. I knew I should’ve signed up really early.... That’s crazy. I’m gonna call them because if a lack of TEAS tests means I can’t apply for nursing school this year, we’re gonna have a big

  18. CT-CCNP 2019/2020 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I said “if you’re working on the floor.” The vast majority of new grads are on the floor. And I apologized for coming off rude before anyone could say I am. It does not make sense to me to aim...

  19. CT-CCNP 2019/2020 APPLICATION

    Lizardqueen13 replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I think you’re being a bit dramatic. Sorry if that comes off rude. I understand why you’re panicking, but I think it’s a little unwarranted. I’m immunocompromised and work at the hospital. I...

  20. Phlebotomy Certificate during Nursing School worth it?

    Lizardqueen13 replied to marii1017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    However, if you work in a hospital as w PCA/PCT, we do labs. I work night shift and have to collect everyone’s 4am labs and I’m a pro at this rate. We aren’t allowed to do IVs, just the nurses...

  21. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    Lizardqueen13 replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    I am only a PCA currently so my screw ups generally aren’t as dangerous as the nurse’s can be, but I want to share something. I collect labs and just last week somehow screwed them up. I truly...

  22. AP1 and 2 online 1 Sem. and Micro. in class same time.

    Lizardqueen13 replied to kanja's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting. Mine had us cutting into pigs and human cadavers and I think those experiences benefitted me greatly. But if you’re able to learn with the lab kit, so be it. Good

  24. Phlebotomy Certificate during Nursing School worth it?

    Lizardqueen13 replied to marii1017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above comment. I’m a PCA and they trained me to do phlebotomy on the job (along with EKGs and other fun stuff). Being a PCA/PCT seems much more exciting to me than a phlebotomist,...
