  1. The free shuttle is true but I believe it only takes one trip in the morning and one in the afternoon. Either way if you can correlate your train schedule, this is really not a bad deal. Call their...

    Thanks for your reply Miss Becky. I am actually a VANEEP recipient which means that I am allowed absence from work while I complete my academic program. The program not only provides tuition but...
  3. Nnei

    Hello all you VA'ers. I have been receiving NNEI-VANEEP funds for the last 18 months and I must say it has been without any major mishaps. The only problem I can think of is the slow pay issue. I...
  4. Is an ADN worth it in CT?

    I'm not a nurse yet, I'm merely a nursing student but I have worked in the hospital environment for over 10 years. When I chose to accept admission to an ADN program, I too had to wrestle with the...
  5. RN Pay in CT

    I think the net change that your cousin will experience (cost of living & rate of pay) will be pretty insignificant. Where the cost of living may be lower in the South than it is up north, there...

    Hey CS1827, I would love to know what type of magical stardust you have that you are hiding from the rest of us. LOL! I think I have come to realize that sending your application in early probably...
  7. Workin part time while going to nursing school???

    This question has been asked time and time again and the answer differs amongst each person you ask. The truth is there is really no straight forward answer for this one. You will need to ask yourself...

    Hey WaitingLPN, I sent my application in early and didn't hear back from them until 1 week before school was to start. It seems that in the recent cycles they have seen a huge growth in the number of...

    David, I so admire the thorough assistance that you have been willing to provide to folks that are branching out in their career. I am just a nursing student but my ultimate goal is to become a NP. I...
  10. ICU Training

    Hi Creamsoda, This is a wonderful response. I am currently leaning towards ICU when I graduate and I have a fear that I won't get to see some of that "drama series" stuff that you come to expect from...
  11. Hey all you soon to be and current nurses out there. I just received my acceptance letter for Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing. (wiping sweat from brow and letting out a sigh of relief). Has...
  12. Hey David, Have you utilized the study manual for the TEAS test? It makes life so much simpler. Trying to wing that test without reviewing all those concepts that you have long since forgotten is a...
  13. Anyone here going to Norwalk Community College??

    Hi Coolbean, It's important that you get on that immediately. If the school says that they have not received your grades, test scores etc then chances are that they have not. I had to send my...
  14. accepted in 2, How do I choose

    I did decide to go with NCC. I had such a hard time choosing because I heard such outstanding things about both programs. I ended up choosing NCC (the farther school) mainly because I worked at...
  15. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Wow NICU thanks so much for your post. I was ready to run down to the car lot and purchase a LEXUS IS 250 the minute I received my pin, but now I am rethinking that. My "putt-putt" has lasted me 10...
  16. accepted in 2, How do I choose

    Hey Matt,Why would you choose BHSN over NCC? I got accepted into both schools and had a really tough time choosing which school I wanted to

    Hi Debo, For the Spring semester that I am starting, the deadline was October 31st. I didn't hear from them until 5 months later. I was told that it never takes this long but that department that...
  19. Vaneep

    It is very true. The key word here is time. Get your application in on time/early. Talk to school advisors early. Don't expect a quick answer regarding your VANEEP application. I got my application in...

    LOL! Nope not Jen but congratulations to her too!!!! I can't believe that all that waiting was not in
  21. Vaneep

    Hey VANurse#1, The road to VANEEP has been a long and hard one. There were some obstacles along the way but I am so happy to say that one week before classes started (yes one week), I received...
  22. Nnei

    I rushed into the coordinators office to complete the paperwork on the very first day that they began accepting applications for this cycle. Its has been 2 months now and the deadline just passed....
