Hi I am new to the board and will be starting my LPN at Lincoln Tech New Britain in March. I am still looking into Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent's for RN but right now Lincoln is where I am headed. Just wanted to know what people think of the L...

I have read so many who really bash Lincoln Tech. I will be there march 09 and it was a long hard decision. If I knew of the state colleges I would have tried for them but i was too late to apply and well, some life issues have me changing gears so I...

I really really want to thank you guys for helping me w/ clovis. I have not been in school for 11 years and took the accuplacer test before x'mas and i totally aced it due to all of you guys telling me to prepare and practice and practice. on all the...

hi and welcome back to CT. I am new in CT so I don't know much of the areas yet. As far as commute mine will be just over 15 minutes. Before I talk about Lincoln let me tell you that if you got alot of your general ed done like AP I and II etc and th...

The cost for Porter Chester is starting next year is $36k, much more than that of Lincoln but i heard it is very selective and limited seats of probably 15-20 depending on which location. The rocky hill location will not start jan anymore, it will be...

as far as i know you have to apply for there financing programs if you don't have enough for your FAFSA (and you wont). The payment plans all depend some are based on credit some are not. The extra that FAFSA doesn't cover enters a payment plan: some...

so no full time?

is it per diem in nursing homes/LTC? This is where I wanted to be.

Hi CTstudent, Thanks for helping me a while back. Do you mind sending a PM regarding Gateway and who your contact was? They sent me an e-mail and said I have to submit an unofficial transcript....lazy answer in my opinion. I also talked to Housatonic...

thanks for all the help everyone. I was just looking at regular gen eds really so I will probably do clovis once I get confirmation. It wont take me 4 years to do so like Thornbird said, you just have to plan. I am also aware of charter oak, CT leagu...

I know what you mean and that is admirable that you are helping your daughter and putting her first. My husband had a terrible ex wife who refuses to pay for any education for their children but she wants all the perks of getting all his high income....

congrats 2bnurse!!! wow they sent your letter to someone else lol. I am very very happy for you. It will take me some time (my gpa in highschool is ok) so I think I should try to give them 4.0 gpa's in my LPN and regular college when I'm done w/ tho...

HI Future, Congrats on getting in to BHSN. I am new here and have talked to admissions on what is required. The website listed requirements it only had like english, chem. I know A&P I and II should be there but are those pre or co requisites? I ...

hi Pixie, Again you have been so helpful on this board. I think I read on another thread that you already in your RN program? If so congratulations. Just wanted to say that you are an inspiration to me as well. Due to a terrible assault after high sc...

hiya :) I wud pm you but i don't think i have the feature yet til 15 posts. This will be number 12 lol.

Thank you, you have been so very helpful. I did finally get to talk BHSN and it has been very very encouraging to know what it is we are applying for. I am being told something different at 3 rivers but for all you know it was miscommunication. BHSN ...

thank you for the information. I have left messages for nearly 2 weeks with them and no one has contacted me. I will get some clarification but if you don't mind I would like to ask you about the 2nd year part. To my understanding of other nursing pr...

I was told by an excelsior advisor that if you graduated from their college, got your RN etc for let's say NY and then practice for many years as a nurse there is a problem moving to states like CA. CA will not transfer your licensure even if you hav...

Hi Regi, did you have to take an accuplacer test for math etc in Clovis or did they just let you choose what classes you could take? Thanks :)

hi Regi, you have no idea what a gold mine it was to read all your info. I have so many gen eds to do because my high school classes are too old and i didn't have money nor time to go to a community college here since all my funding is in lincoln for...

I think she said take the accuplacer. Sorry its late and I could be reading wrong but i think what was meant is that if you already took the course and they wont transfer, CT Community College will let you take an accuplacer test (its not clep) its ...

I start March as well, congrats to you!! I will be in New Britain day program. Wish you all the best!!

from what i know, P&C is a private tech school so you will most likely do your gen eds all over unlike state tech schools. Silly in my opinion but that's how it goes. I will be in the same boat and will look into Indiana State like Thornbird sugg...

This is a great post. I'm a new member and had to make a painful decision between lpn or rn. Then lpn state tech or private. In the end I could not wait for state tech, "found out about them late in the game" so I went for Lincoln because I liked the...
