1. Clinical Rotation In COVID Unit

   Skinurse replied to Elice's topic in COVID

   Yes. I’m sure. But not everyone learns well in a situation where they are under threat all the time. The latest from this faculty was that maybe they should have music playing and multiple loud conversations going on while the students take the ex...

2. Clinical Rotation In COVID Unit

   Skinurse replied to Elice's topic in COVID

   No. I’m saying that if we have Covid or are Covid positive we are still expected to attend clinicals in the Hospital. No excuses. Missing clinicals if you have Covid will be treated like any other absence and will be punished like any other clinica...

3. Clinical Rotation In COVID Unit

   Skinurse replied to Elice's topic in COVID

   Anyone’s school say getting Covid is no excuse for missing clinical? The schools policy is that the students should not put patients in harms way. Punishing symptomatic Covid positive nursing students for missing clinical sounds like it would be in ...

4. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   Skinurse replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   If you are on a biological medicine for psoriatic arthritis such as Humera you are contraindicated for live vaccines. It’s a big no no as you can actually end up contracting the disease. I just got my titers back for nursing school and I am immune ...

   Skinurse replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut

   People on the waitlist get ready. Anyone older, immunosuppressive or with comorbities are going to have to drop out because there is no way in hell it makes sense to be in a clinical location this fall. That really sucks. After 4 years of working ...

8. CT-CCNP 2019/2020 APPLICATION

   Skinurse replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut

   They were pretty specific about the exact computer equipment you need to do the virtual clinicals etc. They were clear the classes would be virtual. They seemed to have a plan to bring in small groups for skill labs. I did not get the impression t...

   Didn’t you get the email? Capital is mostly virtual in the fall.

10. CT-CCNP 2019/2020 APPLICATION

    Skinurse replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut

    That’s not what I am getting from the discussion. I think folks were just trying to think of reasons people might drop out of the group that have already been accepted so they can estimate when they might find out. Like I said, I got called in earl...

    Skinurse replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut

    Many people apply to more than one program. Some folks apply to both 2 year and 4 year programs Some folks choose to accept an offer from a different program instead of CCNP. In addition, people have unexpected life events, illnesses, family issue...

    Skinurse replied to hserwaa's topic in Connecticut

    Accepted to Capital. Don’t give up if you are waitlisted. I was 36th last year and got the call in late July. I gave up the seat because I did not have micro yet. Upped my rank and got in this time without being waitlisted.
