  2. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2010

    Ladybug15 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I was curious as to why BHSN asked for a photo. Must be a way of them verifying identity. I wonder if you left out the pic, if they'd still accept the application. Hmm… With regards to the number...

    Ladybug15 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Come to think of it, I really can't think of too many pluses regarding the CC's over BHSN except for distance and tuition (less expensive for in-state residents). This is why I chose BHSN. [EDIT] - I...

    If your mom receives the letter when you are away, just ask her if she can see text through the envelope and if she thinks it is more than one page thick. That should give you a good indication that...

    Ladybug15 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  14. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    Ladybug15 replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    Owe $65k, but then you can add roughly another $15k just for interest over 25 years; and that was just from my non-nursing B.S. degree! This time around I'm playing it smart. Instead of attending an...

    Ladybug15 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Connecticut Nursing
