Hi everyone! I'm 22 and have just started my first semester of nursing school. That's so wonderful for those of you who entered out of high school! Keep at it.. it will certainly be tough, but it's all worth it in the end!! Good luck to you all

Hi everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your classes so far! (Glad I finally got to meet you milfordmama!! )

Yeah I am hoping a day spot opens for next semester.. that would be nice!! I'm excited about orientation tomorrow too.. I think it will put my mind at ease a little so I know more about what we are getting ourselves into! I did get the Nur 101 bundle...

That's great!! I'm excited to know someone. I wish I could have taken NUR 101 during the day and everything, but I took what I could get considering it was last minute. I'm hoping I can switch to the day program next semester! I did buy the book.. it...

It was crazy hard.. haha oh well! I am taking A&P on Mon. & Wed., 4:30-6 with lab on Wed. 1-4 .. I was called last minute to register for NUR 101, I guess there was an opening! So I am enrolled in the night program right now. I have class Tue...

Hi everyone!! It was such a relief when I found this discussion thread!! It's so exciting that we are all in this together!! I have my orientation next thursday, and I start classes on september 8th!! I know that most of you have already started your...

mz1985 .. Did you ever take the A&P exam!? How did you do? All I can say is that I failed miserably.. so off I go to re-take A&P this fall. I am taking NUR 101 along with A&P .. are you doing the same?

Hi everyone! I have applied to St. Vincent's for the Fall 2009 Nursing program! I am waiting to hear a response back of whether of not I have been accepted! I know that there are a bunch of us who have applied.. either have already been accepted, are...

Just an update -- the competency exam for A&P was ridiculously difficult!! fheard - What section of A&P are you in for this fall?

Hi! Sorry, I haven't checked this in quite a few weeks! I actually took the competency exam on August 18th.. I was supposed to take it July 27th but wanted a little more time! Not that it helped me.. that exam was deadly! I think the woman said I sco...

Yes, I believe it's $20 to take the exam. The school provides you with a sheet listing all of the topics that you need to know.. very broad though, so doesn't help too much. They do offer an Anatomy and Physiology review course which is online.. howe...

Hi milfordmama! I am currently accepted into the extended program! I have to take the anatomy and physiology comptency exam next week, and if I pass (which I heard the exam is very difficult) I can start my nursing courses this fall! I am praying tha...

Has anyone taken the anatomy and physiology competency exam??

Hi guys! Has anyone taken the anatomy & physiology comptency exam at St. Vincent's? I have to take it soon and I am very nervous!! I heard it's really difficult.. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Yes, I am very nervous about it! Is there another competency exam in August? I was just nervous that the one July 27th was the last exam.. I didn't ask about later ones. I should have taken the review course! If I knew I had to take the comp exam ear...

Thank you! Congratulations to you too!! Very exciting! That's exactly how I felt with A&P.. I was thinking it probably was stupid to repeat it since I did already take it.. but I also had a hard time with the course, and had a very difficult teac...

Hi everyone! I too have to take the A&P competency exam! Did you take it yet mz1985? I was planning to just retake A&P this fall at St. V's, but I didn't realize that is what determined when I start nursing courses. I really do not want to wa...

Hi there! I did get accepted to the program for Fall 2009!! I actually have to take the Anatomy and Phys competency exam in a few weeks.. so if I pass, I'll be directly admitted into the nursing program!! If I don't pass, I'll be in the extended prog...

Quick question -- For those of you who have been accepted for fall 09.. are you CPR certified?? Do we have to hold a certification for when we start in the fall? I have to start looking! I live in the Westbrook area.. anyone know of any programs?

I GOT ACCEPTED!!! woo hooo! Finally got my letter in the mail, such a relief! I got accepted into the extended program, but I have a lot of courses that I took at SCSU.. so I have to see if those will transfer! Anyone else starting this fall?? CTGuy ...

Hi everyone!! Just got my acceptance letter today for St. Vincent's Fall 2009 Nursing Program!!! I'm so excited! I've been anxiously waiting for it!! :loveya:

Keeping my fingers crossed... still waiting for my acceptance letter!

I'm with you too guys!! I'm waiting to hear back as well. Hopefully within the next few weeks!! I second reading the Twilight series! I am on the second book right now.. I love it!! I wish I had more time to read it though! I am currently finishing ...

Hi everyone! I am still waiting to hear back about my acceptance! I mailed my application in a few weeks ago.. I have contacted the admissions secretary, and she said my application was received and is complete, so I should be hearing in 2 weeks!! I ...

Just sent my Nursing application in to St. V's the other day.. so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!! Has anyone else heard back and been accepted? :)
