Hi there, the community colleges (three rivers, capital) both have long waiting lists. I know someone who graduated from Capital and have heard not so good things about it. But they are all rumors so I don't know. And...you have to get all the prereqs done before getting in. Goodwin is a fairly new program. One of the lady's I took A&P with is graduating soon from their nursing program. I don't have an opinion about it just yet, not until its been around for a little longer and we can see what their nclex pass rate is. Uconn is good, i think they are upping their standards for their requirements, if they have not done so already. A friend of mine did their second degree program and just finished in December. You may want to look into this since you said you had a BA. Another friend of mine is going to Southern which is also good. I live in Manchester and I did my research before going to any school and ended up going to American International College in Springfield, Ma - only 35 minutes away. It's an older school but good. It's a hard program, but not bad all the clinicals are all done at Baystate Medical Center which is a huge hospital and very modern and up to date. Another option is STCC in Springfield but there is also a waiting list. I've heard St. Joes is good too., I would suggest you do what I did, go on each colleges website. Look at all their curriculum and see how it works out. I was a transfer student, went to capital and then manchester community (which i highly recommend for any prereqs) and got most of my general ed classes and then transferred in as a sophomore. My advice if you get here and still have time before you start school, look into their curriculum and see what you can take at a community college and do so. Its cheaper and less work once you get into the program. Go to MCC if you're close to manchester, you'll love it. go on this site and search for nursing programs by state and it'll give you the websites of all nursing schools. http://www.discovernursing.com/program_search.aspx good luck and email with any questions: [email protected] Beliz
