  5. How long for RN license in the mail?

    Are you a new nurse, first license in CT? If so, when the state approved your license request, you should have received an email that said when they mail them out. For me, my email stated licenses...
  6. NVCC Nursing 2015-17

    I also just graduate. I already took the NCLEX and passed with minimal prep on my own. I think the program prepared me well for the NCLEX. Semester 3 is the hardest. If you get "difficult"...
  7. I took my NCLEX on Friday. I read somewhere that quick results are issued 48 business hours after testing, but have read in other spots just 48h hours. Has anyone gotten quick results on a Sunday...
  8. NVCC Nursing 2015-17

    It is so much easier to get them through the uniform store because they will sew the patches on. I know everything seems a lot right now (fianancially) but the uniforms really aren't overly...

  14. Capital Community College Admission Decision

    The community colleges do not send out their own decision letters. The Board of Regents will post in mycomment at some point in March (usually in the first 2 weeks). It is different each year. They...

    People not paying their hospital bills have a hand in why so many hospitals are becoming financially strapped. You used their services, so you should pay for those services. You said you had a...
