Hello, I was a pre-nursing major ,but the opportunity came up for me to apply to a LPN program. I passed the pre-admission exam today so all I have to do is apply to the program and also meet with financial aid. If I get accepted into Stone Academy and make it through I will then finish taking the pre-requites for the BSN program. Does any one out there now about Stone Academy Nursing program in CT if you do, how did you find the program to be?

Hello I need to take Chemistry 1 this summer because it is a requirement for the pre-nursing program that I want to get into next fall 2016, but I do not have the money to pay out of pocket, and I cannot get financial Aid for the summer because I do not attend school this pass semester. If I would have attended school this spring I would have been able to get financial aid for the Summer. I really want to take chemistry this summer because it would put me ahead and then I could take inorganic/organic for the Fall semester. The reason why I cannot take the chemistry in the Fall is because all the sections for the course are closed as of now I am on the wait list which I cannot be guaranteed a seat in the class. what I would like to know does anyone know of any scholarships/grants and even loans that I could get for the summer? The Chemistry 1 course begins on June 29,2015 which will be a five week course. If there is anyone out there who knows what resources I may tap into for the course.

Hello jordinriess, How are you doing? I would like to congratulate you on graduating from USJ. If you do not mind I would like to ask you a few questions about their nursing program. Was getting into the nursing program hard? What was your GPA?. Did you like the program? I know that USJ is a very expensive college Do you think that it is worth the money? How was the clinicals? What is the semester that you started your clinicals Did you start the nursing program out of high school or did you transfer from another college. what are some of the courses that you had to take to get into USJ nursing program? Have you decided on what kind of nurse you want to be? I am planning on going to CCSU in the fall because of the cost with going to USJ How did you pay for the college? Would you recommend going USJ. I live in Hartford which is about twenty minutes from USJ which travel wise would be very good for me to attend. I hope that I am not being too nosy, but I just wanted to get a feel on what it would be like going to USJ. I am sorry that my post is so long. And I would like to thank you in advance for responding to my post.

Hello Everyone, After much pondering on whether to go for LPN or RN. I decided that I want to go for RN. I have to retake some science classes ,but that's ok I will have to reach for at least a B+ or higher this time around I think that I can do it. I would like to continue towards a BSN. After I finish taking my pre-requites I would like to apply to CCSU, Southern, UCONN and Saint joseph. I would like to know if anyone out there plans on applying to any of the above mentioned nursing programs. If you applied and were accepted how do you like that particular program? I would like to thank you for reading a my post. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone, My name is Carmen. I have a question should I go the LPN route and then due RN. I am struggling some what is my science classes. I took Human biology and I received a B. and I took A&P and received an F and chemistry I received a c. which I know is not good for trying to get into a Nursing Program. The only good thing with the chemistry and A&P is that When I take them over I will know what to expect. My plan is to go to CCSU in the Fall 2013 and take my pre-requites for their pre-nursing program and then hopefully apply to the nursing program. Is their anyone who knows about CCSU'S nursing program. The other route would be to take try and get into an LPN program. I have looked into Stone Academy I have signed up to take their pre-admissions test next Thursday. Stone Academy also requires a lot their program is based on a point system. And I will not know if I am accepted in their program until the first week in August. I really want to become a nurse this is where my passion lies. I have spoken with several people both inside the nursing profession and out side the profession. And they informed me that becoming a RN is going to be a struggle but that I can do it if I work hard enough. I was also informed that I not do the LPN Program because my options are limited for where I can work once I graduate. I am not sure as yet what type of nursing I want to go into. I have been reading the post for pre-nursing students and I have found them very helpful i.e. Chemistry and A&P. I am definitely going to follow the advise that have been posted. IF I choose to go to CCSU in the Fall I plan on taking A&P 1 along with Chemistry I really think that I can do it this time. I am single and I have no children. So why can't I do it? So with all that said I would appreciate any feedback that you may have for me. Thank you carmen

HI Everyone, I am courious as to what nursing programs are you applying to or have been accepted to?. I am applying to Goodwin College, Capital Community College and Naugatuck Valley Community College along with Saint Joseph University and University Of Connecticut. I figure the more colleges that I apply to the better my chances will be to get into a nursing program. I am looking more at attending a BSN Program thoughI will not rule out a ADN program and then continue towards a BSN. I have looked into the courses that I will need for both programs. And even though the BSN program requires a few more courses than that of an ADN program it may be worth it in the long run to take those courses and get the BSN. I called the state of CONN Dept Of Public Health that assess the qaulity of nursing programs in the state. And the women with whom I spoke with said to me that "The trend has been that the hospitals in the state are hiring the BSN prepared nurse over than a ADN nurse. What are your thoughts about this "trend ". I look forward to your thoughts about this subject. Carmen

Hello Everyone I would like to know is anyone out there taking Chemistry? I will be taking Chemistry this Fall along with Life Span Development. I would like to know how I would go about studying for Chemistry? I went to the Library the other day and I took out some books on Chemistry. I have been reading them so that I can get the feel on what is involved in taking the course. If there is anyone out there who could assist me I would very much appreciate it. Thank you carmen

Hi Tokmom I would like to thank you for answering my post it was very helpful. As to answer your question as to whether I am in school yes I am. I am taking pre-requites for hopefully entering into a RN program. I was originally going to go to LPN school ,but I was advised to pursue going to RN school instead because there are more employment opportunities for RN's which I want to be. I used to be a CNA at a nursing home several years ago. I am currently on uneployement and I am hoping to volunteer in an emergency room at a local hospital I hope that works out. Carmen

Hello Everyone I am in the process of studying for the TEAS Test. I purchased the study guide a week ago. What I would like to know is how I should study for the test? are there any helpful hints that I could go by? How much should I study i.e daily weekly? I try to study at least 3 to 4 hours a day is this enough? I registered to take the exam March 14, 2012 ,but I do not think that this is going to give me enough time and I am thinking about changing the date to take the exam to the begining of April. How far in advance should I schedule to take test? I really want to score high on the test. I am from the state of CT and the school that I am trying to get into does not have a scoring point. The way that the school accepts or rejects prospective students is that they compare students scores to each other. I meet all the other requirements for the nursing program which consists of Intermediate Algebra c or better English Composition C + or better Human Biology B+ or better and an Interview. If I pass the Teas test I will begin the nursing program in August 2012. The application deadline to the school is April 30, 2012. There is going to be a information session on Monday february 27,2012 which I am going to attend. Which I will bring with me my resume, application and college transcripts. So everything is hanging on the TEAS test. So I would very much appreciate any and all responces. I thank you for your time and have a nice day. carmen
