ooops... The other one had 2011 instead of 2012... let's try this again: Just thought I would start a new thread for the current application cycle. Questions... stats... rumors... etc! My question is... for those applying this cycle, how did you do ...

Yes I got into my first choice, NWCC. Yay!

Hey NEF, did you get your letter yet???

Yes, NEF.. and that's where I took all my pre-reqs.

I got A's in all of the pre-reqs, I have a few B's in non-nursing co-reqs from wayyyyyyyyyy long time ago (like English and Psych). My current GPA is 3.97 however when you tie in some of my lower grades from other schools it does drop a little, so I'...

IT's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL I checked my mail this morning and the school sent me something, date stamped YESTERDAY... something completely unrelated to nursing... but still, it made it here in one day, what's the delay with the nursing letter? Ugh. Are they coming from H...

Kbatch.... the info packet says that you must submit ALL transcripts, regardless of whether or not they apply as transfer credits. If it says you must do this, and you ignore it... and then after being accepted they somehow find out (which, if you ev...

Good luck!! Where are you taking it?

It doesn't matter which of the CC's you take your pre-req's at... and yes many of the "soft sciences" are available online. I have done everything online except for the classes that require a lab. I am at NWCC in Winsted, and am an "evening only" stu...

Northwestern CT Community College in Winsted offers a strictly night/weekend program (classes & clinicals). I believe it's Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings... and it goes through the summer as well.

STCC in Springfield has a ultrasonographer degree and certificate program. Not sure how close you are to the state line, but it's a straight-shot up I-91 and pretty easy to get to.

You'll have to take pre-reqs no matter what program you go for... I'd say take your pre-req sciences at a community college and then apply to a MEIN program.

I don't know anything about the other schools... but NWCC in Winsted doesn't start until the following spring. (So if you apply Fall 2011, you wont start classes until Spring 2013). This one is also nights and weekends, and goes through the summer. ...

Did you take all of your pre-req's at Goodwin? If that is the case.., they won't transfer to any of the CT Comm Colleges, and you'll most likely have to take them again. Keep that in mind as you make your decisions.

AH! Now I see what you were getting at. Thanks for clearing that one up for me, and anyone else who was reading and wondering the same thing!

What "Dosage Calc" course are you talking about? I didn't see one for the CT Comm Colleges (I did see that for STCC, though.) I don't think that the CT Comm Colleges are going to take that Dosage Calc in lieu of the two Parmacology courses, but I cou...

This document should have the info that you are looking for. http://www.commnet.edu/nursing/docs/Nursing%20Information%20Packet.pdf

First, it's really important to specify which version of the TEAS you took. Version 5 is much different and more difficult than Versions 3/4... and the scoring is different on the v5 as well. There are several threads on here about Bridgeport Hospit...

That sounds like a great plan! (AND I hear ya on the "Outlaws" LOL!) How far is your commute to Storrs? I'm also keeping UConn in my back pocket, but I don't know that I can handle the commute...

Just FYI -- I spoke with Hartford a few weeks ago... and they said last year they received 1200 applicants last year, and about 930 were eligible applicants. She also said that this year they've received about 1500 applicants... and of course didn'...

My plan is to get into an RN-BSN bridge program immediately after obtaining the associates. It seems as though it's much easier to get into a BSN program (at the 4-year schools within commuting distance from where I am), if you have the ADN already. ...

Yes, I do know exactly what you're talking about... in my opinion, a 3.44 should NOT have to rely on the lottery. What I'm saying is that without the lottery, the GPA "cut-off" would be a little lower. So lets say the school has 100 slots, 60 of them...

I know... in fact, one person from my school (who shall remain nameless) didn't even "know" if they could give that information out (total BS, btw, it falls under freedom of information act, I believe.) I called the main hub to get the state-wide inf...

I called one of the offices and asked for all the stats of accepted students last year. There are tons of rumors that float around, so I go directly to the source to find out straight from the horses mouth.
