    HelenaHandbasket replied to aranursara7's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    CT Pixie..how did this work? I am number 18 out of 125 for the waiting list. I applied for LPN to RN bridge. I still had to compete with ALL applicants who wanted in the program, first year or not....

    Does anyone know how they notify you of an available seat? Mail? Phone call?

    Best of luck to you and I can attest that being an LPN does not get you a leg up. Neither does an 89% on TEAS or a 3.6 GPA. But I'm not bitter. For the time invested, I'm going to go with Elms to get...

    Pell covers up to $7500/year. And while it's not "cheap" per se, 1/3 the cost of a private school is certainly

    HelenaHandbasket replied to aranursara7's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I did the CTTECH program *cough* 17 years ago. I would highly recommend it. It was very intense but I received a top-notch education. While the only aid available is Pell or VA, the program is VERY...

    I had a 3.6-ish GPA, an 89% on TEAS and B- in A&PI. So there is my

  8. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    You only have to complete the A&PII with a grade of C+ or better by June 1st. It was a condition of acceptance. Those who were accepted or waitlisted who do not meet that requirement will be...

  9. Getting ready to apply: CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thanks for the info. He said last year was no indication of how far down they might go this year. In 10 years he's seen them take as few as 6 and as many as 23 off the waitlist. Congratulations to...

  10. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I heard back from the admissions counselor. He said he's seen it happen that they have gone down as far as 18 (and higher) on the waitlist. It just depends on the year. He also suggested I wait to...

    Got my letter and I'm 18 out of 125 on the waitlist for CCC. Does anyone know how many they took from the waitlist last

    My letter came today. 18 out of 125. Does anyone know how many Capital took from the waitlist last

    Motosteph, how did you find out your number? I haven't gotten mine yet. I was going to check today. But maybe I'll just

  14. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I emailed the admissions office the first day I saw I was waitlisted and he went back and forth with me 4 times but wouldn't tell me what number. He said I'd get a letter in the mail. It probably...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thanks ladies! Both of you are right on! Babies are AWESOME! I wouldn't change it now that it's done. It all happened the way it was supposed to. I have every faith in that. Like I said, sitting and...

  16. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I see what you're saying. If I have to take it, I have to take it. What I have to figure out is whether another school will accept me "as is". After I know my number on the wait list I will meet with...

  17. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I've completed or am in-process with all of the pre and co-requisites except Micro. I planned to take this over the summer. It doesn't make *logical* sense for me to retake A&PI if I have an A- in...

    Still waitlisted. Boy, that was a real kick in the gut. Again. No letter in my mail today. Does anyone know how many from the waitlist got into CCC last

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Checked my snail mail and no wait list letter and still no link. I don't know why they wouldn't at least leave the waitlisted people up if the "kinks" were only in the paperwork for those accepted....

    That's how I did it. Went to the search bar and typed "nursing". It brought up the decision link. Of course now when I do it it's not there

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I know. There's nothing there. Maybe it's all goofed up and some of us who were supposed to get in didn't? I know I'm reaching. I'm just still

  24. Getting ready to apply: CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2013

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I wonder what everyone's stats were. I got an 89% on my TEAS V, I got a B- in A&PI, a B- in Chem and the rest were As. My GPA is 3.6-ish. Did I really suck that

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It didn't say anything special. Kind of like the generic notice we got once all our requirements were in. It didn't say, "Dear Helena, " or anything like
