Hello all, It's almost that time of year again! I'm applying to the 2011 class which the application period begins this November 1st. We have two months to prepare our applications! Anyone else applying? I've seen the support the last year's class ha...

hello all, had my 1st day of ob rotation and i find myself scared of babies. we had orientation for most of the shift than about a half hour practice assessment with a well baby newborn. this was a prefect time to practice since it was not in front o...

congrats!

Err on the side of caution and register for any non-nursing courses you can take. At orientation we found out there are ALOT of things we have to take care of before the program starts with certain deadlines. There may be a few people who do not meet...

you're welcome glad i could help :)

go with your gut instinct. if you want to be a nurse do everything in your power to become one. have you thought about being a PA? you could apply to those programs. or how about in the meantime get your phelbotomy, PCT, CNA or work as an EMT? if you...

Hello! Current or previous students who have experience in the CT Community Colleges RN program! I am starting this thread looking for advice you can give all of us newly accepted students who will start our first semester as nursing students in the ...

where else can we register besides Capital? The 1st is full and the 16th I'm unavailable! I know we need it by July 1st...

Besides Capital where else are there healthcare provider cpr courses offered??

do all the community colleges assign weekend clinicals? i work weekends so i can go to school during the week! there is no way i can change my shift nor quit my job.

Hello everyone, I received my acceptance letter today to start my two year RN program in the fall 2011. I was wondering if you had any advice or tips you can provide me to help me get ready. Where are the best places to shop for cheap nursing supplie...

thank you everyone so much for your advice! I really appreciate it :) I have the "math for nurses" book (bought it when i started my pre-reqs a few years ago and forgot i had it) and recently picked up a Saunders "student nurse planner" to help with ...

Did the course credit transfer for the CT community colleges, and did they accept it as a legit class?

thanks spachild for all the great info! :)

Your welcome Jennifer14 :) JBMmommy thanks for the info..would the program consider these clogs? http://www.zappos.com/timberland-pro-renova-professional-white they look like they have a closed back (but i'm not sure how deep the heel fits in them)

I have no idea but i'm assuming sneakers are allowed as long as they are all leather with no mesh or airholes. Think of it this way, if you get "spooge" on your shoe it shouldn't leak into it and soak your socks. It would make sense you should also ...

thank you JBMmommy

What did Capital suggest for dosage calc prep?

Any suggestions on securing student nurse liability insurance? waste of money or worth it? How about from a company such as NSO?

I want to get a head start for classes; are there any books you can recommend (or remember what was on the reading list provided at orientation)? Was there something the majority of your class struggled with that you wish you had more time to dedicat...

JBMommy- any advice is helpful so thank you! I spoke with a professor who teaches a hybrid course but she said i would still miss a lot of work and wouldn't recommend me registering for the course. I emailed another professor whose course runs july t...

I spoke with the nursing dept clerk for NVCC today and she said we will be mailed all our health forms and information shortly.

I don't think there is an option to defer my start from fall to spring at NVCC so i can complete micro.

Awesome thank you!

Thank you! I have to take micro this fall semester on top of my nursing courses; did you have to do the same? If so, was it managable? (I was unable to register this summer because the only classes available near me conflicted with a summer academic ...
