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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Mine had my name in the corner. It just said you have been waitlisted you will receive a letter with your number and listed all the contact numbers to follow up with. I emailed mine for CCC to ask for...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    That's the way to do it. I don't know what else to say. I clicked on banner self service, clicked into the search bar and typed "nursing", the link 2013-2014 Nursing Admission Decision or something...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm sorry. I feel like I was kicked in the stomach. I am already an LPN. I'm taking A&PII right now. It seems ridiculous to go back and take A&PI again. I forgot I also got a B- in chemistry...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The link is there if you do a search. I've been waitlisted. I'm beside myself. I don't know what my next move will be. I'm sure it's due to my B- in A&PI. I have an A- in A&PII. It seems...

    I'm afraid to check my snail mail too! I hope I don't find a wait-list

    I'm only checking twice a day. I figure it will be first thing in the morning or last thing in the

    I hope Friday is the day. It's SPRING! It's time for new beginnings!!!! The good news is that we will know one way or another by the end of next week. The torture will NOT go on

    So does that mean we aren't necessarily all going to get our links posted at the same

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    My status tab has been gone for a couple weeks too. I think they all have. No decision link again today. I'm studying for a lab quiz tomorrow. I have to leave for my fitting at 10:30a, then to work...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't mind that the decision will be online. I can print it out for my scrap book. I had hoped however that because the decision would be online, it might arrive sooner than a post letter would....

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Oh and since I'm sleep deprived and nonsensical, which is why I keep posting I'd like to add that I'm sure someone, somewhere is watching this thread and laughing their tuckus off at our

    Jan, mine says GENERAL STUDIES too for both program and major but my current program changed to Associate in Science from Undeclared. I don't believe GENERAL STUDIES will change to nursing until we...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    What is this about registration? No one else can register for those classes except those who were accepted right? So it's not like anyone can take up the courses? It's like having a baby. Everyone...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Just to be clear, I haven't talked to anyone there since application. I have definitely NOT changed my major. Of course this could be how they do all of the applicants. I'm not sure. I'm grasping. I...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm going out of my gourd!! I think I mentioned this a few posts ago but I only registered at CCC for application purposes. I haven't taken any classes there (yet, I hope!) and I haven't registered...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    My nerves are shot! I check usually once a day but hadn't noticed the link had been removed. I haven't checked today though. I've picked up a part-time job that can convert to full-time at any point...

  17. Reducing ED transfers from SNF

    HelenaHandbasket posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am an external evaluator for several SNFs in CT. I am seeing a disturbing trend in the numbers of patients the facilities are sending to the ED. In most cases, the patient developed AMS and was...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    3-4 pts is a lot for a student. I'm surprised. In the beginning of my last semester of LPN school it was rare for anyone to get 2 pts on an assignment. Towards the end it was routine to have the top...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    My stats aren't super-fabulous. My overall GPA is 3.64. I received an 89 on my TEAS-V. The first time I took it cold-turkey. I didn't have enough time to take it again. I received a B- in A&P I....

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Ok. So now is the time when we all begin to question our sanity and go a little bat shat crazy, right?!? I try to check commnet everyday to see if anything has changed. Well, first of all, all of my...

  21. Cursing on the job

    HelenaHandbasket replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    From where I come from, we say, "he swore like a nurse!". People look at us funny and I assure them, "nurses are WORSE than sailors!" Or truckers, or 12 year old boys smoking cigarettes behind the...

  22. Why do we use insulin drips?

    HelenaHandbasket replied to EGVnurse's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I'm going to venture a novice guess here and suggest that it is simply because of rapidly changing conditions within the body and the fact that the patient is not taking food PO. A traditional insulin...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    YES!!! My transcripts are showing up as MET on 1/23 and 1/30 so that means they have ALL my pre-reqs even if they aren't posted yet. The only thing not listed as MET is my high school transcript which...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    SOMETHING CHANGED!!!! My A&P II requirement is listed as "MET 3/11/13". Of course, I'm going to assume that they mean they know I am currently taking it and that's ok because I haven't completed...
