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 facilities) in CT, and if you could jump right into doing tha...

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

I got the email at 9:37

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 Bridgeport.

I just submitted mine to Gateway too. I have all my prereqs and coreqs done except for AP2 and sociology which I'll be taking in the Spring. 3.41 GPA, 74.7 TEAS score. Good luck to you!

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

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 that would bring me to a 3.55. But this would also be an ...

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 luck!

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. Thanks!

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 I’ve noticed.

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 been for a few months.

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 or was my school just wrong? I was so shocked to see...

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 exam dates and they all cost $117. My school just put u...

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 colleges.

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, or does Gateway offer some sort of discount or somethi...

By which school?

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 problem.

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 to become a nurse, yet be in terrible fear of a virus, so...

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 highly doubt they will give you Covid positive patients as ...

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 are (same for the phlebotomists – they strictly do blood)...

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 cannot tell you what went wrong, but the fact is somethin...

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 luck!

The lab part LOL

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, and it’s the best job someone interested in nursing c...

Online A&P??? I can’t imagine.
