studentnurseCT - I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've experienced. BHSN is a really good program, but I must admit they can be pretty disorganized at times. If you get into the program, this won't be the last time you get frustrated over some...

Congrats everyone!!! Robinson - I am in Wtby too! :)

YAY! :) That's really great news. I bet you are so relieved! Congrats to our new classmate!

I think you meant to post this in the CT community college board. However, having also been accepted at NVCC this year I can tell you that I only got an 84 on my TEAS but had an A in AP1 and had all A's in the courses I took within the last 2 years,...

I almost think that you should tell the school that you guys didn't receive adequate training. Just because the instructors had a long day is no excuse, especially in something as important as CPR. Sure, for some it is just a refresher but for other...

Jess- what a lousy experience you had with the CPR training. I wonder if it was just a fluke. I still have to do mine. Perhaps I can look for another program.

O man... That really stinks you guys. I guess I lucked out with the student that was working the day I went. Wannabe, I had the exact same problem as you so it wouldn't have been a good situation for me to buy them either. Imagine being worried abo...

Haha, yea… the tornado definitely made things interesting. A medical student told me that many of the nurses wear the Baby Phat brand, and that they are supposed to have a really good fit. I think I am going to see if I can find some of those to t...

Just thought I'd let all you guys know that I just priced out the required first year books on Amazon. If you thought about purchasing them individually, think again! Through Amazon, you'd end up spending $725.36 if you have an Amazon Prime account...

So orientation went well, apart from being stuck in the middle of a tornado just outside the nursing school and then dealing with no power (dark sweat box!) inside. We got to order our uniforms, books and some various supplies. The book package fo...

Thanks jdoll! I'll report back in, let you guys know how everything went. Any word yet from BHSN? I would hope that they would at least call you whether good or bad. Have you tried calling the secretary to ask what the status is on the wait list? D...

Any one else as excited as I am for orientation tomorrow?!?

I believe Wannabe is correct in that the first orientation day is next Thursday. I can't wait! I can't believe it is finally here… the days have been flying by. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I really hope you hear back from BHSN soon! Have y...

So I found out that I was given credit for public speaking after all. Thank goodness! One less thing to worry about. Thor - it's too bad we won't run into you on the 24th. You must be busy, however, this summer with the accelerated schedule. I know ...

Hi jtezzo, I haven't heard of anyone having a June 30th orientation date apart from you. That must be the makeup date for those who can't make it on the 24th. If you've read through the past few postings, you'll see that one person on the waiting l...

I took COMS 102 at Uconn a long time ago. It's a process of communications course. I'm hoping it transfers over, but I haven't looked into it yet. Supposedly they will be reviewing our transcripts with us during orientation.

YAY!!!! :w00t: *wine I knew it! I had such a good feeling about it! Let us know when you are scheduled for orientation. Now go celebrate!!!

That's great news! My fingers are crossed for you! Good luck!!!! Let us know when u find out. :)

Wow, sounds like you do a lot! That is such great experience! What's your title? I hope to get a student nurse position after our first semester. I have heard about the dorms, but I recently heard from someone that they are doing away with them. ...

Sounds great! That is so nice that you have a job waiting for you if you decide to go back. What type of position do you currently have in the OR? I would love to work in the OR some day, which is why I was interested in going the CRNA route. I've a...

Welcome to AN Andy! :welcome: Congrats on your acceptance as well! Wow, that is quite the move. Is it just for school or are you relocating here permanently? What made you decide on BHSN?

Hi Lestelle, I am also scheduled for the same date and time!! Perhaps we can meet up in the parking lot or something beforehand. :)

Can't wait.... Although my wallet isn't looking forward to it. I'm still waiting to receive the letter with the date and time. I've heard they should be mailed out shortly. Does everyone go on the same date or are there a few days?

Aww, man! Just try to stay positive. It is better than an outright denial. I can understand how u don't want to deal with having to wait any longer. However, you could easily get a call any day with an open spot. I know its tough, but I wouldn't ...

Guess what, mine finally arrive about an hour ago! I've been playing with it and I'm in love. Kindle app is fantastic. You can highlight and add notes to text so easily! It would be great for textbooks. So, any surprises in your mailbox today??
