  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...

  2. CT-CCNP 2017

    toonsis replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Good luck to all! I graduated from Gateway a year ago, I moved down South for a new grad residency program. I love my job! I still keep in touch with some professors and clinical instructors; as a...

  3. CTCCNP 2016 Applicants

    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...

  4. Question about the prerequisites for nursing school at the CC level...

    toonsis replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It's really hard to say based on the info you've given. But you can do this! I was in your shoes too, my undergrad gpa was 2.9 but my applying gpa was 3.69 which helped out a lot. Maybe meet with...

  5. Southern and Quinnipiac Accelerated Nursing program's

    toonsis replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm at Gateway, I have a Bachelor's in biology, and couldn't afford the accelerated programs. I think with the an associate program you can work 24 hours ok, but it would be tremendously difficult...

    toonsis replied to JBLove's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    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...

  7. How to survive without a support system??

    toonsis replied to joljenni's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. Honestly, you will find a tremendous support system at school. Not everyone, but most people at school will be in the same boat as you. During our student...

  8. Midwife assistant a good plan?

    toonsis posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi all! Here's a bit of my background, I'm starting my ADN program in 2 weeks. I already have a bachelors degree, from 8 years ago. My main hurdle is a weak GPA, undergrad was a 2.9, which is not...

  9. Applying to GCC and BHSN Fall 2014

    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...

  11. Applying to GCC and BHSN Fall 2014

    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...

    toonsis replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Cost wise go with Gateway. Where do you live? I have heard good and bad about both programs. I only applied to Gateway, due to cost. Gateway does have really good professors, my friend loves...

  17. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    toonsis replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It's so weird that you are 19, there must be a bigger spread in Teas score. Because I thought you would be higher than me, it really just shows how CLOSE the applicants are. In any case, your hard...

    toonsis replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Any advice on this would be so appreciated. I was waitlisted at Gateway. A CC college is really my only option due to finances. My teas score 76, is pretty good i think. I could retake it again,...

    toonsis replied to NurseRN11's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Congrats to all who will get in! But how on earth will you pay for school, $60,000+, and living expenses? I would have applied to a program like this, but didn't strictly due to costs did not. I...
