    INN_777 replied to waterpeace13's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Almost everybody in our class who lived closer to New Haven were able to sign up for Yale if they so chose. I mean, it can't be guaranteed of course and maybe you will not get it every semester, but...

    Hi AllaboutNursing2: I can only comment on what we've been offered this year on the Stamford campus. We had the Stamford Hospital and YNHH as options every semester (except Psych). Norwalk Hospital...

    Anatomy/physiology

    INN_777 replied to Rinchoo's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If your Anatomy was years ago, as you say, you will likely have to take it again anyway. Nursing programs want it to be top of mind for you when you start, therefore they usually want to see it taken...

    INN_777 replied to waterpeace13's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    No such requirement on the Stamford campus, at least this year. You absolutely need to have a laptop and bring it to class every week - we do quizes and exams online. But iPad not necessary. In fact I...

    INN_777 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi all: I have one semester to go, so it is time to think about NCLEX prep. Our program utilizes ATI, but many of us feel that it will not help much with NCLEX (too different). So...curious what folks...

    Oncology Job Offer, but dream interview in HTU/CCU coming up

    INN_777 replied to JessRNBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It seems like they want you (the unit that offered the job), so you are in a good bargaining position. Why don't you express your concern about part-time to them? Something along the lines of "I am...

    INN_777 replied to dulcet's topic in General Students

    I see the points of both futureeastcoastNP and GrnTea. I think the difference is pure semantics- what we put in the meaning of "dirty". The work in question IS dirty in the physical sense of "not...
