The only CC with the exact same prerequisites and entrance requirements as Gateway is Norwalk Community College. You would have to apply to the program separately from Gateway. The admissions director at NCC told me that they have more spots than Gateway so it is a little easier to get into. They have a day program and an evening program. Bridgeport Hospital School of nursing also has the same entrance requirements as Gateway so you might want to apply there as well. Naugatuck Valley CC is a little different- AP1 and AP2 need to be completed before you start and I think you have to had taken college math within the past 5 years. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am going to be taking some nursing pre-requisites this fall and I am curious about schools in my area. I am looking into Norwalk CC, Bridgeport Hospital school of nursing and Gateway CC. I would love to hear what people think of these schools- also any info on admissions (what GPA do you need to get in) and difficulty of program (how much time do you spend studying outside of class/ lab and clinical)?? I want to understand as much as I can because I have two small children (4 and 1) and I am planning to do this in the evening starting in fall of 2007. I am also curious about what type of job opportunities new grad's have- is it possible to get part time or day shift? I am not sure how 2nd shift or overnight works with children. thanks!
