    Anyone work at HH? What is it like to nurse there? Is everyone really as happy as the people we met at the open house this week? What are their differentials/pay like? Any other info?

  2. Hartford Hospital questions

    CTRNTOBE replied to CTRNTOBE's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am very dissapointed with Htfd. Shadowed for a day in their Neuro ICU and the RN I shadowed was like wow you could take my pt's right now. When I sat with the manager she stated that she wanted me...

  3. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    CTRNTOBE replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would make them either put a policy in place that all women be chaperoned when going in a male patient's room or get rid of the other ridiculous policy and be saved from a big discrimination...

  8. Am I a nurse??

    CTRNTOBE replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    You survived nursing school and should feel proud to call yourself a nurse. You will be a graduate nurse until boards but a "Nurse" all the same. You do not have to wait until your boards ro call...

    CTRNTOBE replied to yoyoming1001's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Actually, it is not against any rules of any school to not include transcripts. Most schools would be more than happy to charge you again for all of the needed classes. Maybe in Hawaii a low GPA will...

    CTRNTOBE replied to yoyoming1001's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Your higher GPA of 2.5 would not have cut it at any of the nursing programs at schools in connecticut. Do not use any of those previous classes and just take everything again. A college can only find...

  19. pre nursing student AP

    CTRNTOBE replied to kasia87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stay in the course until the final and then drop it. If you are going to drop it anyway you might as well see the rest of the material for when you retake it. Also, a C is not going to cut it anyway...

  20. Pinning ceremonies...

    CTRNTOBE replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think that we students should be giving our wives and husbands a flower for all the attitude we gave them from being burnt out, missed dinners and late nights helping us study for the last 2 years....

  21. Pinning ceremonies...

    CTRNTOBE replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    CTRNTOBE replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I do not understand some of the men here. Did you guys just go into nursing for the money. You are forgetting that part of nursing is showing compassion, mercy and some emotion and Stopnik's posts...

  24. How many people thought A & P was easy?

    CTRNTOBE replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought A&P I and II were very easy (except endocrine of course). Chemistry I find to be the hardest because it is mindnumbing and useless. Just teach me the Metric system and let me go damnit!...

  25. A&P1 vs A&P2

    CTRNTOBE replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that A&P 1is a lot easier. Wait until you get to the edocrine system; there is nothing worse. Good luck and use the intenet for help. There are a lot of Anatomy web pages out
