Connecticut Schools of Nursing – Become an RN or LPN

Study Nursing at an Accredited Online or Offline CT School

Within Connecticut you’ll find 18 accredited campus-based nursing schools, a selection of top-notch hospitals and medical centers, and easy access to New York City and Boston, two other nursing and medical Meccas.

This area of the Northeast is heavily populated and with a diverse array of ethnic and cultural communities. For this reason you’ll find every type of nursing facility imaginable and plenty with ongoing staffing needs.

Among the campus-based nursing schools you’ll find diploma programs, Associates and Baccalaureate nursing, and Masters level nursing programs.

CT Board of Nursing

The nursing licensure board for CT nurses, CT Board of Examiners for Nursing, is an adjunct of the Department of Public Health. Use this resource when you need information regarding:

  • CT State Nursing Regulations
  • Details on CT Registered Nurse Schools of Study
  • Details on CT Licensed Nurse Schools of Study
  • License and Examination information
  • and more

Connecticut does not participate in the Nursing Licensure Compact. If you’re a travel nurse you must seek licensure to practice as a nurse in CT. RN licenses are renewed annually. Conversely, if you’re a CT licensed RN and looking to work outside the state you will need to contact that state’s board of nursing for appropriate licensure information.

CT Nursing Associations

The Connecticut Nursing Association and the CT Student Nurse Association are popular organizations designed for all practicing nurses and nursing students in the state. The CNA provides a few nursing scholarships funded with the idea of assisting non-traditional nursing students struggling to make ends meet.

Average salary range for a staff RN in CT is $65,000 to $80,000.* Larger metro areas are known for higher hourly rates, while rural areas are traditionally lower.
