I graduated from the Storrs MbEIN program in Dec. 2008 and would be happy to answer questions. To answer some previous posts, I'm not sure if there is a preference for UConn students, but probably 3/4...
Today was my first day on the floor with my preceptor (yay!). We had a patient that needed a rhogam injection and my preceptor gave her a dorsogluteal IM. In school we were taught to do ventrogluteal...
UConn doesn't care where you did your pre-reqs. Most people I know did pre-reqs at a community college. I was lucky and had all the pre-reqs, except microbiology. I was a biology major and felt that I...

I took my acute care final today as well as my ERI exit exam. I don't know how I did on the final, but I did better than expected on the ERI. I scored 911 out of 1000 and was in the "superior" range....
