  1. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Does anyone know if NCC still offers a Spring start option? I'd ask the advisors but they haven't answered any of my emails since before the deadline. I think they're sick of me

  2. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Not sure anyone can tell you that. Where did you apply? Did you speak to an advisor? The pool of applicants is different every year so you never know who you're up against. But technically,...

  3. Devastated

    MissCris replied to chernandez3841's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't beat yourself up too much! I consider myself a very good test taker, and those kinds of questions throw me off all the time. Now that you know the style of his tests, you can concentrate on...

  4. Nursing Program 2014/2015

    MissCris replied to Sweetsandshots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My application is in for the fall, I'm just waiting on the decisions. I won't find out until probably mid-April at the earliest and the wait is KILLING me! Good luck

  5. February 2014 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    MissCris replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    We all bet Nurse Janet she couldn't change a bed one-handed with her eyes closed. Who knew she was such a show

  6. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Got the scoop on Norwalk's applicants. 240 total. Apparently there were a lot of incomplete apps, so I was told to "figure about 200 good ones." There will be 80 seats this

  7. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    True, it's all out of my hands at this point. Some days I'm able to forget about it but at other moments it just really strikes me how disappointed I'll be if I don't make it in and it starts a spiral...

  8. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It's SUPER quiet! I'm working, taking A&P II and planning my wedding. You'd think that would keep my mind off of it but no lol I'm calculating and recalculating my GPA and reading the old...

  9. Fall 2014 ADN hopefuls

    MissCris replied to cee cee g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will find out around mid-April. I'm taking A&P 2 and Lifespan Development this semester, working, and praying I get in! I opted out of applying for a hospital program as a backup, so all of my...

  10. Histology.. what is wrong with me?

    MissCris replied to mdock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh I had a hard time with histology too. The slides in our lab were freakin' HORRIBLE. I did look at some of the sites PP's have suggested but none of them looked like the ones we were using, so I...

  11. 2014 Applicants

    MissCris replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're not the only one. I'm stuck waiting til mid April/early May! Your program sounds super competitive, good

  12. Please somebody help me

    MissCris replied to mgonzalez4's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They have a really comprehensive website for their nursing program here: Nursing Â- Bowie State University If you need more information beyond that, I'd recommend calling an

  13. What do you think ?

    MissCris replied to MurseGabe2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, it seems a little bit TOO jokey. I would say " I do not anticipate working while in the program, this way I can give my coursework the level of attention I believe is necessary to be...

  14. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I didn't know that about the CC community colleges, must have missed it in the packet. Anyway, I applied online last week and everything is showing up as "met" except my computer course and A&P 2...

  15. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Does everyone have their apps in? I'm taking my CSA105 final tomorrow or Friday but I'm kind of anxious that my grade won't be final on my transcript in time for the deadline :/ NCC took TWO WEEKS...

  16. How early did/will you apply?

    MissCris replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My application is due February 1st. I'd love to submit it now, but I'm taking a computer class online that has to be completed before I apply. The course doesn't end until January 17th, and all...

  17. Books you used to study for TEAS/HESI

    MissCris replied to blu_02's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used only the TEAS V test prep book from ATI. If you can only get one book, get that one. Everything on the test is in that book, although you might want to expand on some of the science topics...

  18. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't think any one factor is enough to assure acceptance. Obviously GPA is most important, but you could have a great GPA with a very low TEAS score and a low A&P grade and still not get in....

  19. Financial aid suspension

    MissCris replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to appeal my financial aid every semester because I withdrew from 4 classes in 2006. It was medically excused, but it will never come off my transcript and as a part time student I won't be...

  20. What to start studying for A&P 1?

    MissCris replied to mrsvickerie2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a lot of great A&P threads if you do a search here. It's hard to say what to study first because I think every class is structured differently. In my class we did basics/body...

  21. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Officially got my A&P grade from my professor. I held on to my A- and I suppose I'm ok with it. I would have loved to get that A, but I think I'm still in good shape as long as my winter CSA105...

  22. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    That's good, I'm sure it's difficult when you don't know what to expect. What was the schedule like? How many days did you do clinicals and where? Can you walk us through a typical clinical day?...

  23. A&P I & II + Microbiology for one semester

    MissCris replied to sunshine&shots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gotta be honest, I read the title and thought "oh lawd this person is crazy :nailbiting:" But really, it depends on what else you have going on in your life. Do you work? Have kids? I'd never say...

  24. Starting A&P I in January

    MissCris replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've bought most of my books used and I resell them on ebay when I'm done with them. I just finished A&P I (today! whew, so glad it's over) and I will be keeping that book for reference later. I...

  25. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm sorry july. I think past students have a better shot than someone who's never been in the program before, so you have that going for you. What was the first semester
