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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I would just feel better knowing everything arrived and was checked in. Does anyone know at what point they might update commnet with that information? If I'm denied because I wasn't good enough, ok,...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Most days I can forget about it. I check in every now and then. No change on my page. Just that my TEAS results have been "met". I'll start getting neurotic (more neurotic?) around April 1st.

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Toon, I have also heard that as well. As long as it's post-marked by or on the 1st it will be ok. Hopefully, if it doesn't arrive the school it's coming from will confirm that it should've gone out...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thanks ladies! I "casually" stopped by the Registrar's office today to check the status of the transcripts and was told they weren't done and to check in tomorrow. As soon as I got back into town they...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The school wouldn't accept my general application without proof of my immunizations which I don't have so I had to get the blood work to show the titers that prove my immunity. I have had my official...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I've requested them already and they are already at the school probably, they just haven't processed them yet so I still can't access the online application. I figured if I brought at least an...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yes, Toonsis, my mom is doing better now. She's developed some bilateral lower leg edema that the doctor says is from her pulmonary edema which is what caused her pneumonia which is how she ended up...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just read all of last year's thread. What a roller coaster is right! And some of you have hopped on it again! I still haven't been able to log into commnet to access the application. I got another...

  12. Capital's Nursing Program Schedule

    HelenaHandbasket replied to jmc10's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm curious to know as well. I think it's more of a "part-time" schedule and while it's possible to work and attend the program, you might have to cut back your work hours during particularly...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Well here's an update. I finished my summer semester with As. In the Fall I took Chem, A&P 1, Computers and Statistics. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for this semester. Culminating...

  14. RN vs LPN

    HelenaHandbasket replied to Melpomene's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Take a breath! There are bad LPNs and bad RNs. She sounds like a seasoned LPN who has a great capacity to mentor a new RN and chooses to prove her superiority by pointing out your flaws and mistakes....

  15. Admissions...who decides?

    HelenaHandbasket replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I worked as an onsite evaluator for a LTC company. I did get this feedback as well from the Care Coordinators in the hospital. Home Care has stepped up their game in terms of what services they can...

  16. Given another patient's medication to satisfy MAR.What do you do? Orientee

    HelenaHandbasket replied to rn_nxt_dr's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Ahh I miss having that "new grad" optimism of perfect world nursing. Anyway, wouldn't everyone agree that one of the largest problems not just in healthcare, but in society in general, is this idea...

  17. So very very frustrated!

    HelenaHandbasket posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I have been an LPN for 17 years and was laid off from my corporate nursing position last August. I am a single mom with 5 children. I decided to go for my RN because it needs to be done and I have...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I got an email back from the Director of the Program. She said my Stats would be fine but that it needs to be completed before the Feb 1st deadline. She also said I didn't need the Human Development...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thanks Pixie! I'm going with you on this one. I already emailed the Director but she is out until the 5th. I will get an officially official answer then. :w00t: I can always try to test out of Math...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Been trying to post but the formatting on this thing stinks and there is no "undo" button for my errors. Anyway, what I get from the information given is that I am ok for application with the...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Right, I read the booklet and emailed for clarification of what I had already taken and what was still needed to be completed. He left out all of the core courses that need to be completed by LPN...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    That's the Spring semester. I could switch it up but I still won't finish those courses until after the application deadline. The Stats and Public Speaking are for the eventual BSN. I have to be...

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

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'd have to get information on that. Once I have any Associates Degree (underwater basket weaving for example), I can get into the 20 month accelerated BSN. Again, this Associates Degree in whatever...

    HelenaHandbasket replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm taking Chem, A&P I, Computers and Human Development already which are all required. I don't think I can fit it in! It doesn't matter. I still can't do it. I won't have the Micro completed...
