  1. Anyone attending VTC this fall (PN program)?

    dalgal replied to dalgal's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck everyone that's working on the prerequisites...I met the others at the site and there are only 9 of us...kind of nice to have small classes I

    dalgal replied to carrie42's topic in General Nursing

    Well said everyone...each program has its plusses and drawbacks...I, for one, am looking forward to the

    dalgal replied to dalgal's topic in General Nursing

    Aw, c'mon... Maybe I'll just put it off ANOTHER year so you can go with

  4. VERMONT TECH--BEWARE

    dalgal replied to carrie42's topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! Glad to see the Vermont site picking up a bit! I'd be curious to see what this year's passing rates are, or at least graduation rates. Also, some of the sites like Newport, are smaller,...

  5. Looking to relocate, how is the job outlook in VT?

    dalgal replied to GFzalez's topic in General Nursing

    Hi...VTRN774 is right...north of Burlington (well, St. Albans and Newport anyway) always seem to be posting open positions. I don't know about their pros and cons though...good

  6. VERMONT TECH--BEWARE

    dalgal replied to carrie42's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find anything about it either. For all it's worth, I've heard only good things from former students--all of whom said it was tough but really prepared them well. I'm not sure why the low...

  7. VERMONT TECH--BEWARE

    dalgal replied to carrie42's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! That's scary! I looked into Vermont Tech and found their record of graduation, passing the NCLEX, and job placement rates to be at the high end of the field. Can you be more specific about...

  8. UVM?

    dalgal replied to Laurenina's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I have heard great things about the program but don't know anything first hand. I too am a first year nursing student but am going through the Newport VTC program because it is much closer to...

  9. conditions in vermont

    dalgal replied to hema s manoharam's topic in General Nursing

    Hi...sorry, PM means private message but, I'll send you one if you like. To answer your question, I am not yet a nurse but I start nursing school in the fall. I've lived here in Vermont for almost 6...

  10. conditions in vermont

    dalgal replied to hema s manoharam's topic in General Nursing

    Hi...it really depends on where you want to be because northern and southern vermont are very different. The best thing to do would be to visit and decide for yourself but as for me, I love it here....

  11. taking NCLEX in vermont

    dalgal replied to hema s manoharam's topic in International Nursing

    Hi! Congratulations on graduating... you may want to see where you would like to practice and then take the NCLEX in that state. I think the pass rate varies from school to

  12. Vermont Technical College

    dalgal replied to nightchild8's topic in General Nursing

    Does this mean you'll have a 3 day week? That would really make things easier...I don't even know who to call at this point because my campus is a VIT site...I'm guessing I could check with the...

  13. Vermont Technical College

    dalgal replied to nightchild8's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your acceptance! I too was wondering about the schedule (but I'm going to be at the Newport site)... and I'll be at the orientation in August too. Michelle, did you like the program?...

  14. Older students biased against younger students?

    dalgal replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    Just an aside...not everyone that starts nursing later in life regrets his/her first career. For me, I wouldn't trade my first career experiences for anything in the world...it was just time for a...

  15. New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :)

    dalgal replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi everyone! I start this fall and am excited too! I'm not at all sure what to expect as for how the day to day schedule will go...or clinicals...but it will be busy I'm

  16. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    dalgal replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, how scary is it that we are one job change/injury/major illness away from being treated this way? In our town, a man had to have his very reattachable arm amputated because he couldn't pay for...

  17. Vermont Technical College

    dalgal replied to nightchild8's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there...do you know if the PN program has the same set up? I'm just starting this fall but have all my prereqs out of the way...any info would be appreciated...I've been accepted into the Newport...

  18. Those with kids

    dalgal replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine are 7,8,11 and 13 so I'm at a good point because I basically study and take my classes while they are in school. I am just finishing prereqs though...the real test will be in the fall when I...

  19. Nursing & Pre-Nursing Students Fall 2009!!!

    dalgal replied to Maleficent's topic in International Nursing

    To all that have applied or been accepted--good luck and congratulations! Does anyone know what typical student equipment is going to be? We have to order a student kit...but it isn't itemized so I...

  20. Question for students in nursing school, or students taking pre reqs to get in it.

    dalgal replied to TCLA's topic in General Students

    I'd have to agree with hpygrl01 on this one...I would have had a terribly difficult time in A&P 1 without having had chemistry. It may or may not be required, but it certainly helps a...

  21. Seems like I'll never get into Nursing School

    dalgal replied to LuckYNurSe28's topic in General Students

    Here in vermont it's pretty tough to get into programs too because there just aren't many spots...one thing I would recommend is to have lots of recommendation letters: one or two from your...

  22. Online A &P I, II at University of Phoenix

    dalgal replied to VeVe76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm taking it at the community college of Vermont (CCV) and it's accepted at any university or college here because it's a really rigorous course. I don't know what it would cost you as an out...

  23. Nursing & Pre-Nursing Students Fall 2009!!!

    dalgal replied to Maleficent's topic in International Nursing

    I just discovered this message board and there is so much information out there for all of us starting out in nursing...where is everyone hoping to end up? Our program is a 2 year ADN so the first...

  24. Question for students in nursing school, or students taking pre reqs to get in it.

    dalgal replied to TCLA's topic in General Students

    I would definitely take the chemistry first because it will make the anatomy easier when you take it. I'm in Anatomy now and there are so many chemical processes (metabolism, TCA cycle, etc...) that...

  25. Online A &P I, II at University of Phoenix

    dalgal replied to VeVe76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to butt in, but I'm in A&P2 here in Vermont online and it's the best class I've ever had. It is a ton of work like another poster said, but I love being able to log in when I want and work...
