   I am in the same boat. I just started working in a Peds ED (I only have pediatric experience). Since Covid started, my hospital has not seen that many pediatric patients, so I have primarily been taking care adults. In addition, because our census ha...

2. Professional Advice

   jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in General Nursing

   I really do appreciate the advice so far. Let me first say that serious decisions have not been made yet. And the decision to move will be contingent on multiple things. First, would be the ability for me to get out of my lease. If it proves to be an...

3. Professional Advice

   jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in General Nursing

   There are family members that come and go, but that leaves gaps in care. In terms of the hospital, it's not bad per se, but it is an inner city hospital that cares for a low income population. There are 3 magnet level hospitals within 10 minutes of t...

5. GTCC Spring 2017 Program

   jbrent890 replied to JessHashem's topic in North Carolina

   Hello, I'm already in the program, so hopefully I can answer your question. The desired amount of points the program is looking for will vary from semester to semester. Not that many people usually apply for the spring program, so I don't think it w...

6. Grades for New Grad Programs

   First things first, welcome to GTCC. I'm almost done with my first semester, so I will be a cohort ahead of you. I'm going to try to answer my questions to the best of my abilities. From my understanding, new grad programs really do prefer BSNs and y...

   Thanks tfesmire for giving us a heads up. Just have a few questions if you don't mind answering. First, what tips could you give us for passing Pharm. Second, did you find it possible to work during the program? I'm going to take January off to see h...

   Has anyone gotten confirmation from the nursing school that they got your required paper work that was due on the 4th? I haven't heard anything yet and its kind of freaking me out. I called Lori Ann and have left multiple messages and emails, but she...

9. UNCW RN to BSN

   jbrent890 posted a topic in North Carolina

   Hello, I know there have been a few threads created about this program, but I have a few questions that I did not see asked in the previous threads. I'm looking to attend this program if at all possible. I like the fact that is has flexible star...

    That $2000 would make sense if you are an out of state student. GTCC charges $72.00 per credit for instate. I'm looking at their tuition page now and 8 credits would be $576. Unless the nursing school costs more, I think the financial aid you were re...

    https://www.facebook.com/GTCC-ADN-Class-of-2017-524386724382815/timeline/ Here it is. Its nowhere near done, but I have to go to work (the life of a CNA :***:), so I will work on it more when I get home tonight after my shift.

    Luckily I was already CPR certified due to the CNA course I took over the summer at ACC. I'm making a photo copy of that and all the required health records and I should be good to go. I already turned in the confirmation card. In terms of who also a...

    Well supposedly letters went out late last week. I live in Burlington, so I'm hoping that I receive my letter today. From the people that I have talked to, they lost their points due to them changing the Humanities/FA requirement. If you took the cla...
