    HelenaHandbasket replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  8. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    HelenaHandbasket replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Strangely, it says they received my AP II info on 3/24/14 but it says status "not met". I'm pretty sure I got a B in that. I didn't get an ineligible email so I guess that's good? Got a promotion at...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in General Nursing

    Oh shoot and regarding school, I've taken as many classes as I can online except for Pharm courses but I can't take those until I'm accepted. An all online course isn't an option because I can't use...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Well, you really do learn something new everyday. CCCs registration deadline is not until June 16th and they haven't had orientation yet. I was told (as we know) most people wait until orientation to...

  20. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm not the best one to ask. I took it with a few days notice, no studying and no practice testing. That was the first and the last time I took it. Beginner's luck

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I was going to email CCC to ask how far they are down the list but I didn't want to be a bug. I take my final in A&P II next week and then I go back to work full-time days on June 2nd. I haven't...
