    jan286 replied to brittyma's topic in New York Nursing

    Do you know what the shift diff is

  2. Leaving 1st job before 1 year

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

    I'm assuming you would land another job before leaving this one. 3 months really isn't that long. Plus, it may take you 3 months to find another job. I say start looking and applying to jobs you...

  3. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    How does checking commnet to see if the link is available cause a glitch? I'm 99% positive the glitch comes from Hartford...when they load the decisions, it opens up if you search for it (but the...

  4. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    jan286 replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hey everyone, I was accepted last year to NVCC. Once they entered the "met/not met" stuff on commnet, nothing else ever changed-meaning, no nursing GPA was ever entered. Just wanted to let you all...

    Thanks for the info. Im at NVCC now. I only have 3 more pre-reqs to complete for WestConn's program. I have looked at a lot of schools, and I would have to spend a couple semesters just doing...

  7. Hospital Wages in Capital Region

    jan286 replied to NurseVoldemort's topic in New York Nursing

    I know this is an older thread-but was wondering what the shift diff is at Albany Med? It must be extraordinary to make up for their super low base rate, I

  8. Feeling discouraged....

    jan286 replied to Mrsgeel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a nursing student at NVCC. Im not exactly sure what my nursing GPA was because I don't know which of my math classes they used (137 or 167), but I either had a 3.2 or a 3.4 GPA. I got an 87.3...

  9. HELP! NVCC OR TRCC???

    jan286 replied to makrieger's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am at NVCC. They take 125. Last year there were close to 300, after eliminating those not eligible, still had around 250 I believe. I do like NVCC. Like every program, has its ups and downs....

  10. finding the right schooling

    jan286 replied to rmayes43's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Look into the community colleges. There are a lot of pre or co-reqs that should be done ahead of time. Most of them you can do online (pretty much all of them except the sciences). I know...

  13. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't believe the readmission information talked about previously is correct. It says in the nursing handbook that you are only eligible for readmission if you have successfully completed NUR...

  14. Anyone else receive a PAY CUT recently?

    jan286 replied to jewelgirls's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I think we can put a lot of blame on the state for cutting state funding to the hospitals, but continue to allow our state troopers to drive their state issued police vehicles for personal use, or for...

  15. Anyone else receive a PAY CUT recently?

    jan286 replied to jewelgirls's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thank you Gov Malloy...meanwhile he provided 14 towns beautification grants...to update lighting and sidewalks and add greenery to their Main Streets... I work for a small hospital in CT. We had a...

  16. Any thoughts on Goodwin Colleges ADN and BSN Programs?

    jan286 replied to Jmoran82's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Its all about what YOU put into the program. All program has students that flunk out. It doesn't mean that it's a bad program. All programs have students that turn into bad nurses and students that...

  17. Here we go..... I have 24 Class C Misdemeanors...

    jan286 replied to MiaNursingStudent's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Some states will take it out of any account the person's name is on...whether they are the primary account holder or not. If their name is there, they have access to the money, so it is free

  19. Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    jan286 replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    I completely support random drug testing in any healthcare field (student, educator, employee etc etc). We are in charge of other's well-being. We should be responsible

  20. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It is not easier to get a spot, and there are a lot of other things to consider about going there. They only take 32 students, and the last two years have had over 60 applicants....pretty much the...

  21. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    That is weird. In the paperwork for accepted students at NV, we had to be signed up for psych and micro for either summer or fall, but that was

  22. CCC-NP Waitlist-2013

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    We didn't have to have psych and micro done by June 1. They are to be completed by the end of NU101. I think they might leave seats for LPN's in case they decide to do all 4 semesters instead of the...

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Helena-the reason you can't take the bridge program at Charter Oak this summer is because it started yesterday :/ That is a huge bummer for you and I can't imagine being your shoes right now. I...

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

    jan286 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Some of those will not count towards your nursing GPA. They only take the classes that are required for their program, so don't count gen bio, nutrition, and only count 1 elective. Your stats are good...
