Thanks so much for all your input! It’s been really helpful and given me confidence in pursuing a special Ed nurse position. How long did it take you to feel comfortable in your new role? What’s the best and worst part of your job?

That does sound like very rewarding work! How have the technical parts of the job been for you (trachs, tube feeds, etc)? What do you do on a typical day?

Hi aparamo03, I’m hoping that you’re still active on this site since I too am interested in going into a Special Ed school nurse position. What was your experience like at your job? Would you recommend it to someone else?

Congratulations to everyone that got in! Your hard work has payed off :) Would anyone mind sharing their background and application stats? I wanted to narrow down how strong of prereq grades you need as a comfortable start to the application. For example, are 3 Bs acceptable if you have good recommendation letters, work experience, and essays. I'd appreciate any help :)

I'm applying to the 2017 program as well. I've considered having Waterbury campus as my first choice and Storrs as my second since I live much closer to the Waterbury campus. However, I've heard that the sim labs at Storrs are better and the Storrs nursing class has better clinical placements. Can anyone that's been through the program offer any insight on the Waterbury program vs the Storrs one? Also, for anyone that's already been accepted into the 2017 program, have they released any information about clinical sites that each campus offers? I'd really appreciate any input :)
