  1. Senior practicum in oncology unit

    fyrephish replied to Wendy_z's topic in Oncology

    I'm on an oncology unit this semester. We've had a huge variety of experiences. We do pass quite a few meds as some patients have symptom management of comorbidities and side effects from chemo. We...

  2. CT-CCNP 2017

    fyrephish posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Has anyone seen this addendum on the nursing curriculum packet page 9 for the 2017-2018 school year? I'm really, really hoping they're not adding any more prerequisites because I'm chomping at the...

  3. How many semesters did you apply to nursing school before being accepted?

    fyrephish replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied and got in to CT community college in Hartford first time. I took 5 semesters of prereqs (including one summer) and had a GPA of 3.8 and TEAS VI of

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Does anyone have to give notice to their employer to attend nursing school? I'm in a fix because I want to tell them at work but it's 4 months before I'll be leaving so I'm wondering if that is...

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I know we'll find out at orientation, but does anyone have an idea what kind of supplies, uniforms we should have for nursing school? I'm already cutting my spending way down to beef up the savings...

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I got in to CCC! Stats were Nursing GPA 3.87, TEAS 86, A&P I - A. Congrats to everyone and I wish you all the best of luck. Now to tackle the long list of forms to fill out before the...

    I'm biting my nails over here too. I'm thinking we have to hear by Friday because the class registration begins Monday. I hope we hear back much, much sooner than that, though. Like, now!

  8. Handing in Resignation

    fyrephish posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have applied to my local community college's ASN program and I am hopefully awaiting an acceptance letter in the coming weeks. I've been working for a company for just under 10 years and I am...

  9. Handing in Resignation

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are employed at will, so no contract. My main concern is giving enough notice to ease the transition without shooting myself in the foot while doing so. Thank you for the feedback and

  10. Handing in Resignation

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the feedback. I think I can share my major but not necessarily give my notice until a few weeks before. I think it would take around 6 weeks to hire and train a replacement,...

    So we are on countdown! I can't believe the decision is coming up so soon. I heard that last year's class heard around April 5. That would be next

    I already posted this, but I didn't share my first/second choices. Nursing GPA - 3.86 TEAS - 86 A&P I - A My 1st choice is CCC, my second is NVCC I don't know if second choices really ever come...

  14. How old is everyone?

    fyrephish replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 35, I have a 4 year old, and I work full time in banking. I'll be starting this fall in the nursing program. Right now I'm just taking A&P II. What a luxury to just take one

  15. CT-CCNP 2017

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yeah that's an interesting question, which I don't know the answer to. The nursing info packet says this: "2.7 Nursing GPA- based only on the college courses with grades that meet the nursing...

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Took my TEAS tonight, and I went in not prepping but I got an 86 overall. My strongest areas were math and English structure, followed by science. Oddly reading is my weakest. I'm used to doing...

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just spoke with an advisor at Capital last week. He told me when you look at the applicant pool, you want to see what the lowest GPA that was accepted into the program to gauge what score you want...

  19. On-line classes

    fyrephish replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking my first online class this semester for an Intro to Sociology course. It's pretty straight forward, a test every week (easy stuff, it took me like 1/2 an hour to complete) and a...

  20. Student Loans

    fyrephish posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure this question has been asked, but are there federal student loans that one can use to cover living expenses while going to school full time? I don't want to borrow but I'm thinking there is...

  21. CT-CCNP 2017

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm not sure, they're both intensive courses. Two at once would be overwhelming for me. Summer is doable, just very short and intense. I felt like I lived and breathed microbiology for those 6...

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    @#FutureRN Capital is first followed by Naugatuck Valley. I'm hoping for Capital it's a much shorter drive for me! Micro in the summer is a really tough course. I just finished it up in July and I...

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm taking the TEAS after finals during late December or early January (I know under the wire!). I've taken every prerequisite and corequisite for nursing program except for A&P I & II, plus...

  24. 32 years old and ready to switch my career to become a nurse! Am I too old?

    fyrephish replied to Kaytee12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NO NO NO! You're not too late. Listen to this. I'm one year into my prerequisites and 1 more to go. I'm 35 now and I'll be 38 when I finish up my associate's. My mom went back at 59 and got her...

    I have 3 prerequisites/corequisites left and they are : A&P I, A&P II, and Intro to Sociology. I'm taking Intro to Soc online this semester, and A&P I on campus. I commute to school...
