  2. 2016-How long to have license posted?

    MissCris replied to Penholder's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I was told 3 weeks also, probably by the same very annoyed guy you talked to. I started orientation for my job today and I need to have a license before I can work on the floor. SO

  4. Who can help me with NCLEX Result feedback?

    MissCris replied to nursekayfaye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Forget about how many SATAs you had. My friend and I both passed in 75 questions, she had 5 SATA and I didn't count them but I can guess that I had somewhere around 15. I am convinced that SATA does...

  5. 1 hour post-NCLEX

    MissCris replied to letsnurse2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A friend of mine just found out she passed a couple of days ago. She had 75 questions and only 5 were SATA. I really don't think the types of questions matter as much as everyone seems to assume they...

    MissCris replied to NurseJ16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. Pearson Vue trick July 2016

    MissCris replied to TxNurse314's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine on 7/5 at 2 PM. I had 75 questions, didn't count SATA but 15-20 would be my guess and I've been getting the good pop up. So now I'm compulsively refreshing the Pearson quick results page...

  9. CT Community College Prereqs...

    MissCris replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    You can still apply to the Chem 1 class, the requirement is Concepts of Chemistry or higher. It won't make a difference for the CC programs but it could be beneficial if you are applying to other...

  12. CT-CCNP 2015 applicants

    MissCris replied to JBLove's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It was my class that found out after Easter last year. It was kind of on the late side, April 21st. If you're accepted you're guaranteed a spot, so registering late isn't an issue at all, although I...

    There are no weekend clinicals. Last semester we had lecture two days a week from 8:30-10:30 and clinicals 7:00-1:00 also two days a week. One clinical group had a 12 hour shift once a week. There are...

  16. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I've read through last year's version of this thread 100 times, so I thought I'd start a new one. I'm planning to apply for NCC's 2014 program. I'm taking A&P I right now (A- midterm grade,...

    MissCris replied to Jazzysoul03's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester of nursing school and took Micro along with Fundamentals. I can't lie to you, it was really difficult. Are you generally a good test taker? I'm very good at...

    MissCris replied to BertG77's topic in General Students

    I'm not even done with my first semester yet (2 more weeks) and I feel this way. I've had more opportunities to practice skills in clinical than some of my classmates have, which I'm thankful for,...

  20. The "DUH" moment

    MissCris replied to motay68's topic in General Students

    When I went to visit my grandparents last summer, I was asking them about how they met and they told me they were set up on a blind date 67 years ago. I said to my grandpa, "Well I guess the date...

  21. Starting clinicals this week and I'm TERRIFIED!

    MissCris posted a topic in General Students

    I've read through a lot of "nervous about clinicals" posts here and there was a lot of good advice, but I feel like I have a good reason to be freaked out. I've been in lab for 6 weeks and am starting...

  22. Starting clinicals this week and I'm TERRIFIED!

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to thank you all for your words of encouragement, they really helped to calm me down. My first day was great! I gave my first sub q injection and removed a med lock and it actually felt...

  23. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

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

  24. The Great 'Scope Debate

    MissCris replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Students

    I've only been using it for a month so I can't speak to the longevity of it, but I have this R.A. Bock scope: http://www.amazon.com/Bock-Cardiology-Dual-Head-Stethoscope-Chestpiece/dp/B000W22Z5Y It's...

  25. 4.0 in nursing school?

    MissCris replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    Oh man, and I thought I was a perfectionist! I'm usually disappointed in anything under a 92 or so but now that I'm in the program I'm trying to lower my expectations. Disappointed with anything less...
