    Connecticut accelerated BSN program Comparisons

    INN_777 replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I did not. I started application process late and still had two pre-reqs outstanding when I applied in August. But I had very good results in them. Got on waitlist first, then into the program. I...

    INN_777 replied to sc892010's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    They have a list of possible schools for each prerequisites on the CEIN page. Check 'em out. They are just suggestions, you are not required to take your pre-req at those schools. Certificate Entry...

    INN_777 replied to joejacktor's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Oh, OK. Well, I really don't know much about GWCC or St Vincents, but I did start the application process to SCSU - did not finish as I got accepted into CEIN. SCSU ACE seemed like a strong program,...

    are private school more lenient on their admission requirements?

    INN_777 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, elkpark, all true. It just seems crazy to a person looking from the outside...as it very much should. I myself made a decision to switch to nursing after volunteering at a hospital and had no...

    are private school more lenient on their admission requirements?

    INN_777 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I just wanted to clarify that private ABSN programs in this area are by NO means easy to get into. They are also very demanding and competitive. It's just that state schools are even more so....

    INN_777 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    This is a great topic, very useful to someone like me, starting nursing as second career in a couple weeks. So far so good, looks like I can still go into nursing:) Although I do still dream of...

    are private school more lenient on their admission requirements?

    INN_777 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From my research specifically on ABSN programs, state university programs are more competitive because they are usually half, if not a third, of the cost of a private school program. Only makes

    INN_777 posted a topic in General Students

    In an amazing gift from the Universe I got into my #1 ABSN program of choice of the waitlist (I had good creds but my timing was off), but contingent on the last two prerequisites. I am now done with...

    ABSN programs

    INN_777 replied to mmcc01's topic in General Students

    Hi there. I am also in tri-state and I would say both ABSN and BSN programs are popular. ABSN programs here are extremely competitive, however. Key reasons for that (in my mind/from my research) is...

    Need to find an accelerated BSN program that I can get into!

    INN_777 replied to SuperNova153's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Will you need to take any prerequisites for the ABSN? If so, that GPA plays a big role, you can do really well on those and counter-balance your Bachelors GPA. Or, can you show that your science GPA...

    UCONN CEIN 2014

    INN_777 replied to sc892010's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Just a rolling admission 3 times a year, but the program only starts in the Spring semester (January). I agree, apply earlier rather than later. Good

    It's a lot, I have to say. All this year I took 8 credits of prerequisites while working 30 hours a week. I have a family, so I need to buy groceries, cook, laundry etc, but my son is grown up, so he...

    INN_777 replied to confusedstudent20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I am not a nurse, I am just starting my ABSN in January but this is what I think. Yes, there are, probably, people that are in this job for the wrong reasons and thus they hate it. I know people...
