1. Question for those waitlisted

   toonsis replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

   Retake a&p I, yes the C+ is not great, but 25% of admissions criteria is based on A&P I alone. Your GPA is killing your chances. Retake your lower ones. The CT community colleges are numbers...

   toonsis replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut Nursing

   Agnes, your stats are good, but TEAS are low. When you take them on Friday make sure you get a print out to see where your weakest section is. If you don't pass on Friday you have a couple of weeks...

   Hi guys. I'm at Gateway finishing my first year. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but I love it. My clinical group is like a family. I was pulled from the waitlist, I was under ten last...

   toonsis replied to polysuazo's topic in Connecticut Nursing

   I don't think the specific pb cuff matters, ask at orientation to be sure. I would say make sure you get a large cuff? I have a regular LL Bean backpack already, but maybe one with wheels for our...

    toonsis replied to polysuazo's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Ok, we can figure something out. Don't forget Monday is our last day to register, that's what MB told me. Of course I went to pay and the amount they told me I needed to hold my classes was wrong...

    toonsis replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I75 is for gateway only. I know it sounds crazy that each school has such a big list, I bet almost no one gets called for their 2nd choice. 10 to 15 years ago they virtually had no wait lists or...
