LPNTOBE2017

Hello, I will be a G/U this fall of 2022 and I am taking Math and Bio 120 too. I live in Wethersfield. I want to say good luck to you

Hello, I find it a little confusing on what courses to take because every school requires something different courses for their nursing program. should I try and make a decision for one school or should I try and take my pre-requites for the nursing schools that I am interested in? does any one know about UCONN or Goodwin university?

Hello, Should I go for my ADN or BSN I start taking my pre-requites in January

Yes there are still some LPN programs in Ct but the programs are at private career schools and they are very expensive $30,000 plus for a year program. They did close the state LPN programs due to budget cuts. It all depends are were you live in CT but there are private LPN programs are as follows. Lincoln Tech institute New Britain and Shelton, Porter And Chester Institute Rocky Hill, CT and Stone Academy East Hartford, West haven CT. I would strongly suggest to you to go for your RN if you can and don't bother with LPN School. Because LPN's aren't being hired in Hospitals if that it where you want to work. And if you go the LPN route the courses that you will take at these private schools will not transfer into an Rn program and you will be starting from scratch to get your Rn degree. I have to go the LPN route due to family circumstances. I hope this helps good luck

Hello Everyone, I will be starting nursing school come October 29, 2018. And I would like to know are there any resent graduates of an LPN program in CT ,or are there any LPN's out there who would be available to help tutor me while I am in school ,because I think that I am going to need a tutor. Also I would like to know the best way to prepare for nursing school? I was thinking that I could get a book on dosage calculations.

Hello, I just wanted to say that I got a kick out of your to topic I read some of the comments and I just had to laugh. I am not a nurse but I used to be a nurses aid I will be starting nursing school in October 2018

Hello Everyone, I have been accepted into Nursing school I was told that I was accepted today. The admissions office said that they would be sending acceptance letters out the end of this month. I will be starting class on October 29, 2018. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I want to wish everyone else who will be starting their nursing program this Fall much success.

HI, Thank you for answering my post. I would do the RN route but it would take me more than two years with taking my pre-requisites plus I have to work full time because I am the sole support for my family.. This is the reason why I chose the LPN route because It is part-time for 22 months and then I thought that I would work and continue to go for my ADN since I already have some credits that would go towards to the ASN.

AS you may can see by my username I should have been an LPN By now. But I keep going back and forth between LPN or RN I definately want to be a nurse and I want to be an RN eventually. I have some 30 college credits though my I have not done so well with the science and math courses courses because I do not have a very good academic background in high school, but I not all my grades are bad have gotten some A's and B's. But this LPN or RN has me confused. Should I go the LPN route get a job and go back to School for RN? By doing this I will be working in the field in about 2 years because the LPN program that I will be taking is part-time for 22 months. Should I continue taking courses at the community college part-time where I could be in an RN program perhaps in 4 years ( two years plus summers of pre-requisites.?) where I will get my ADN. What do you think?

Hello WCSU1987, Thank you for answering to my post. What I would like to say to you is that I think that you are overstressing your self out with trying to apply and get accepted into a nursing program. I also understand that you have been waitlisted. But you are going to make yourself crazy if you keep going around in circles with getting accepted into a nursing program, please don't do it because when you do get accepted you would have burnt yourself out and you may perhaps not be able to make it through a program. I would say just try to focus on just one or two schools I can tell you really want this , but you over worrying about it won't make the schools make their mind up any faster just take some time and breathe before you know it you will be in a nursing program before you know it. Good Luck and God Bless

Hello, If I were you I would just have patience and wait to get into the ADN program and while you are waiting continue to take courses toward the BSN program. You will get in soon don't worry too much. You will probably get in when your not thinking so hard about it have faith.

I am Sorry thank you for responding. I guess I should have thought more about the question before asking it.

Hello Everyone, I am not a nurse yet ( still taking pre-requites for nursing program(s)). I am curious as to what was your first job as a new nurse was and what was your starting salary( I hope that I am not being too nosy).

Hello Everyone, I would like to know what is your day like on the hospital floor as a medical surgical nurse?

Hello Everyone, I would like to know as I take my pre-requisites for nursing would it be faster time wise to get my ADN and then Bridge over to BSN both full time or should I go for straight BSN full time? How does the RN/BSN program work. I live in CT.
