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? Thanks

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 in their step down unit and when I expressed my dis...

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 lawsuit. Good luck!

Graduated NVCC in 2009. We started witj 110, picked up 10 LPN's in the summer and graduated 89. Our NCLEX 1st time pass rate kinda stunk; don't know how as NCLEX is the easiest test you will ever take. Good program run by mostly "evil" instructors (t...

I bought the Kaplan 2010 study guide and did about 2,000 questions on Kaplans website. I passed with 75 questions and I feel that using Kaplan really helped. As far as the med questions; remember common side effects for most drugs such as GI issues. ...

Wow. First is that you do not have to inform a school of you current grades and you could start fresh with a 2.0 you probably want to do this anyway. Second is that you really have to be committed to survive in nursing school. You think that you will...

I am just graduating from a CC in connecticut. All the hospitals have frozen their jobs here for now. We are expecting everything to open up in September and then you will have your pick. Good luck.

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 yourself a nurse, just remeber you are a grad nurse. W...

When I started the program 2 years ago it was a 3.98. Honestly, I do not look anymore nor do I care what it is anymore. I will just be happy to survive the next few weks and graduate. Best of luck. Ps. C to low B students tend to be tighter in their ...

Just got my letter and I am in for this Fall at NVCC in CT. The preq's were hell :angryfire, but worth the nightmares. Good luck to everyone and if you don't get in keep trying. See you all in the Nursing Forum. Daryn

Just got mine from Naugatuck Valley today. Can't wait to start this Fall. Daryn PS. Would love to hear from other NVCC Class of 09ers.

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 fly but in Connecticut schools the nursing program...

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 out about your previous grades if you tell them t...

Anyone else waiting on the application for the nursing program at Naugatuck Valley CC? We were supposed to have them Oct 1, then it was Oct 15, then it was Nov 1, then Nov 15 and still no application. January 15 (due date) is right around the corne...

All I have to say is: What exactly did all of you expect? Flowers and balloons at the beginning of each shift and a foot massage at the end?

HELP!!!!! I am having a complete brain meltdown and cannot figure out the following problem. How many milliliters of 0.250 M phosphoric acid are required to completely neutralize 15.62 mL of a 0.100 M KOH? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Daryn...

We have 600+ applicants for about 100 slots. This semester we will need at least a 3.7 overall GPA with A's in Algebra, A&P I and II and Chemistry to get in.

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 for admission. They always say you need a C or bett...

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. Hope everyone remembers that one of the greatest t...

Stopnik has made a point I agree with and that it is a free country. Though I do have a question. What are you doing at so many sorority balls and formals? Just kidding!!!! I think the point everyone is trying to get across is tradition. As a male or...

Try this it worked for me: Google or yahoo latin prefixes and suffixes. You will find pages that list them and their definitions and then study those too. Good luck. PS. the science section on the test is mostly made up of physics.

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 seem awfully cold and way to macho. Lighten up dude i...

How about the people who add De Le on to the first name to make something new. How would you like to go through life as a Deshawn or Detom or Lesue or Lelisa.

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! Just my 2 cents.
