TCW

I may be relocating to CT in a couple of months and was wondering if anyone could tell me of any LPN programs in CT if there are any. I haven't been able to find the information on my own. Thanks. Tonya

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if there are any 2nd degree BSN students out there or anyone planning to apply to any of the accelerated programs for bachelor degree students? I am planning to apply for next fall to an accelerated BSN program and I...

I am a second degree nursing student, 30 years old and would like to know if there are any other nursing students from the Pittsburgh area here? I am particularily interested in CCAC students as this is most likely where I will be getting my degree ...

Thank you for your reply! I am moving to the New Britain area. I will check the CT board of nursing for more program information. I found a few programs finally, but I am not too sure about them. What I would really love to find is an evening/week...

Col, Are they changing the uniform color this year? The reason I ask is because our polo tops were forest green. I can't suggest any other uniform stores in the area that have not been mentioned yet. Take care. Ton

I am almost done with my ADN program, but for the last month or so I have been seriously thinking that I am not sure if I want to be a nurse anymore. I feel horrible because I have worked so hard, but I am just not sure anymore if this is something ...

Thanks to all who responded...I think I am experiencing a lot of things right now...I know I am burned out from my classes, but I just have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I don't want to do this anymore. I am thinking of asking my ...

Thank you for your insight everyone! I think I am alittle burned out from school AND work. I know I have a whole lot to think about. For some reason I already feel like I will be back in school again after graduation. :)

I am not going into nursing solely for the money...I do feel passionate about helping people and someday having a career that matters. However, I will not deny that the stability (more so than what I have currently) helped me seal the deal. I don't...

I take my nursing final on Monday the 12th and I am a nervous wreck. I keep thinking, "what if I fail?" I have worked so very very hard this semester and would be absolutely crushed if I mess up the final. I can't seem to do anything to calm my ne...

I still have not heard the results yet, but I did not get a good feeling taking the final. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Tonya

My personal favorite is mines. I can't even think of a sentence to use it in, but usually the same people who put an "s" on mine put an "s" on everything else. e.g., walmarts, kmarts, etc. Drives me crazy!

Thanks Dublin! Tonya

Can someone tell me the title of the one where she wrote about her nursing school experience? Thanks Tonya

Thanks for sharing! I just love those historical posts. I wish I could hear more first hand accounts though. Tonya

Colleen, It sounds like you had a rotten day!! The fact of the matter is that you shouldn't have to put up with any of that at work. I think we all reach our breaking point at some point...anyone who says they never have can't possibly be human....

i passed my final!!! so glad it is over. we lost a few students though so i am sad about that. next semester i vow to do better.

Kellie, That's too funny! I had an exam that was 46 questions so when I got my exam back I was astonished to find that I had missed questions 47,48,49, & 50. Go figure. Tonya

Thanks Angie! I am so anxious to get this over with! I keep thinking, "did I study enough?", but then I think that if I don't know it now I will not learn it in 4 hours!! Congratulations on being finished. Tonya GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

My final is tonight. 5:00pm to be exact. We'll find out tonight our score so I will know tonight if I can continue on. It has been such a rough semester that I am just glad it's almost over. Tonya

I haven't been posting here too much lately because I have been so busy, but I wanted to share my goods news. Today we had to get signed off on giving meds, giving shots: intradermal, im and subq...we weren't really expecting to get tested tonight, b...

Kim, Welcome to the site! Normally you do need to have a BSN first unless you have a BA or BS in another subject then you can do a bridge program which would allow you to earn your BSN/MSN straight through. It usually takes 3 years. There are also ...

Rn2bNC, We must have been posting at the same time. Glad I'm not the only one! Tonya

Don't be so hard on yourself. I agree with Cathy also. As long as you are normally on time you should be okay. I am so afraid of oversleeping that I have 2 alarm clocks. I guess we all have some OCD in us. :) Good luck to you! Tonya

I will keep my fingers crossed that you pass your exam. Talk about needless pressure. Our program is cumalative also, I think it should be that way. Tonya
