I am starting the UConn CEIN program for 2017. I lived in Colorado Springs for 5 months and I absolutely loved Colorado! I volunteered at Memorial Hospital Colorado Springs while out there. I am wondering how y'all did with the job search in Colorado? Would love some advice from UConn grads! Plan on moving out there when I finish the program, hopefully Denver or Boulder. Colorado Springs is a bit conservative for me!

Hi Everyone! I would just like to update that I decided that I will be attending the accelerated nursing program. Thanks for your advice! I see the light at the end of the tunnel :) The book 7 summits: A nurses quest to conquer mountaineering and life helped me to realize my aspirations. My dream is to work as a travel OR nurse!

Hi y'all! First, I want to say congratulations to all of you for becoming Emory nurses. Emory Healthcare is a great system that really cares about their employees! I was wondering if I could get some advice about the residency program: 1) What are the avaliable specialities for the nurse residency program? 2) I am out-of-state, in CT, and I was wondering for those who traveled from out-of-state, how long did you stay in Atlanta for? Were you in the middle of your nursing program/how did you miss classes? 3) When I apply for the March 2017 program, (In September 2016) I will finish my program in December 2016 and take NCLEX in Jan 2017, were you finished with your nursing program when you applied? I will also be attending an acclerated BSN program, just wondering if any applicants were similar? I interned with the Emory Clinic this past summer in the administrative department - loved it! Atlanta is wonderful and would love to be back at Emory! :)

Hi Everyone, I am seeking some adivce from current nurses/nursing students. I was accepted into an accelerated nursing program that starts in January, but I am getting cold feet about it. I am not sure if I have it in me to care for people the rest of my life. I was also attracted to nursing because of the versatility of the career. I was drawn to OR nursing after shadowing over the summer, but I am not sure I would like working with surgeons who I have heard can be terrible to work with. I currently have no loans from my undergrad degree in Healthcare Management. I do not want a job where I work at the desk the rest of my life, that is something that partly attracted me to nursing. I am someone who is very passionate about the outdoors, that is what drew me to nursing as well because I could have a balanced life working 3 days on 4 days off. I also was drawn to nursing after volunteering at a nursing home and interacting with the residents, I loved it. I did a summer internship at Emory Healthcare over the summer in healthcare administration. I hated the politics that went into this type of business, it seems nothing ever gets done. I would also like to go into nursing to work on mission trips and help in third world countries. Please give me advice about what I should do. Thanks for reading this :)

Just wanted to update that I was accepted to the CEIN program and I took community college classes. Thanks y'all!

Hi, I applied to the Waterbury campus and I also have not heard anything. I was also getting nervous because it appears people from other campuses have heard. Hopefully we will hear this week, I will post as soon as I hear anything. Best of luck to you!

Hi, I also applied to the UConn CEIN NUrsing Program for Jan. 2016 at the Waterbury campus. I called admissions last week and they said that they should be sending out letters this week. Good luck!

Hello Everyone, It is great to read all of these posts, congrats to everyone who was accepted. I am currently a junior at the University of Connecticut Storrs majoring in Healthcare Management. Because I am a business major, I had difficulty fitting science courses into my schedule. I have managed to take Genetics, Statistics, BIO 1107, Chemistry, and a research methods course at UConn. I am going to take A&P I and II at a community college as well as Microbiology. I was wondering if admissions looks negatively upon courses taken at a community college or if it is just certain classes? Thank you for taking the time to read this! Kristen
