  1. Wagon Wheel Schedule?

    jan286 replied to allyl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did clinical at a hospital that did EOW, but that weekend included Friday...so, when it wasn't your weekend to work, you had Friday-Sunday off. Not sure if that is the same thing as what you are...

  2. TEAS Exam.. etc! (Applying to nursing programs this fall)

    jan286 replied to Motherof_1's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I see a bunch of dates available at a few of the community colleges. I took the TEAS twice. The first time I just went in to see what it was like. Then I got the study manual and did it front to...

  3. Placement test for community colleges

    jan286 replied to All_Nurses's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Being placed in a remedial class is not a bad thing. It is better to spend a semester or two getting up to the level required to handle a college-level class than it is being placed in a class that...

  4. Placement test for community colleges

    jan286 replied to All_Nurses's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Its not that it is hard. It isn't pass/fail or graded or anything like that. It is only to gauge where you are academically to make sure you are placed in the appropriate college-level class, or to...

  5. Placement test for community colleges

    jan286 replied to All_Nurses's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Placement test-like when you first apply and before you select classes? Or are you talking about the TEAS for your nursing

  6. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Congrats polysuazo! I know you have had a roller coaster of a ride. I am happy to hear that you have been offered seats at both

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    One of my nursing instructors told me that as well...I will ask her where she got this

  8. Nvcc pre-reqs

    jan286 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't think so. It isn't like BHSN where they base it on an essay, and your character etc. Your acceptance is strictly based on the GPA from the classes that the CC's require, your A&P I...

  9. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The waitlist is not random. It says in the info packet that once all seats are filled, the remaining applicants are assigned a number based on their original rank

  10. Registering for TEAS (NCC) CT-CCP

    jan286 replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If you are applying for the nursing program at NCC, you can take the TEAS at any community college without a problem. You also have the option to take it someplace other than a community college, but...

  11. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    You need to read the paperwork carefully to see if you need to submit a transcript after you finish a&p. People were removed from the waitlist last year because they took a&p at a different...

  12. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Perhaps MorganEcim's degree is nursing because she applied to a different school than she was currently attending. Don't get discouraged yet! And-even if you are waitlisted, don't get discouraged...

  13. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Pay what? The CC's don't have a deposit due like BHSN does. They just have to sent in a letter to accept their

  14. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Last year our major's only changed once we sent in the our letters accepting our seats. Maybe they changed it this year though because they were slow with updating our major's and it caused alot of...

  15. Leave NCC for St. Vincents? Is this the right decision ?

    jan286 replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    You can also take the TEAS more than once. I took it first after human bio just to get a feel for it and did pretty well (low 70). I then bought the study guide and did the parts that I needed to...

  16. Leave NCC for St. Vincents? Is this the right decision ?

    jan286 replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Also-St Vincent's NCLEX pass rate is much lower than any of the community colleges. I am at NVCC and there are students who work full-time. First year, we have lecture 2 days/week (total of 4hrs), 2...

  17. Weekend only job (bailer shift)

    jan286 replied to ickc22's topic in Ohio Nursing

    In CT, the only place I have seen Baylor shifts are with visiting nursing associations. Haven't seen any in the hospitals

  18. Financial Aid / Scholarships - Funding Nursing School!

    jan286 replied to petunia03's topic in New York Nursing

    Look at any community foundations where you live such as rotary clubs, fire departments etc etc. Also-go to the local high schools and ask them if they can tell you names of scholarship foundations....

  19. Venting ughh

    jan286 replied to MSofia's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    In my experience, the advisors you deal with before the nursing program do not know the specifics about the program. On the Board of Regents page, there are contact people for each of the community...

  20. Nvcc pre-reqs

    jan286 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    yup. positive...you only have to if it is your first semester there...so only new students-not continuing...this is from the admissions page on the website: "All new degree-seeking students are...

  21. Nvcc pre-reqs

    jan286 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Well, keep your hopes up-and seriously-check it daily! Registration for you is definitely the night of 21st into 22nd. And, if it is full when your registration opens up, just be prepared to...

  24. Nvcc pre-reqs

    jan286 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I wonder why they said the 15th...continuing students (me) register tonight for this fall. I just checked my email reminder and it said new students on the 22nd. I HAD to get into an A&P that...

  25. Nvcc pre-reqs

    jan286 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I was in your shoes a year ago. NVCC does not let extra students in any class-period. (I did a lot of classes at Northwestern, and they always accepted more than the max, so this was shocking to...
