  1. KCTCS Bluegrass?

    It is entirely up to you, of course, but I'd think a BSN would be much for your career in the long term, and I AM WILLING TO BET that you would have more credibility by graduating from the nursing program at EKU than you would at any community colleg...
  2. KCTCS Bluegrass?

    It *could* be better at the Leestown campus, but not likely. I've seen enough in my one semester at the Leestown campus (in another program) to know that the school is not organized, and the teachers are not that good (with their teaching methods or...
  3. WHY do we need more nurses

    Michigan, you say you love your job, yet you seem so bitter. So intent on painting such a gloomy picture of the nursing field. What does that accomplish? One thing that I know that it would accomplish is scaring off potential workers. That IS job...
  4. Sarah, the best way to find out just how good a program is to call around to places that hire nurses. Give them a fake name and tell them you are thinking of entering a nursing program and you'd like to know which school they would go to if they we...
  5. WHY do we need more nurses

    Is it really any worse than it was generations ago, though? There is more technology today, for sure, more documentation that must be completed, but that just creates a situation in which more must be done with less. I don't know that I agree that ...
  6. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    All I've got to say is that those who toot their horns are trying to drown out the sounds they make with their other horn. :chuckle
  7. WHY do we need more nurses

    That *would* be a problem for me. I have never been one to be able to 'study' when everyone else in the group is chatting up what they're doing on the weekend or some other nonsense. Maybe it's different in nursing-oriented workstudy groups, but I ...
  8. WHY do we need more nurses

    Okay.........I made it 3 pages into the thread before I formed the assumption that no one else is seeing that maybe the "nursing shortage" is a doing of schools and not hospitals. The only rationale I have for that theory is WHY NOT? Schools are th...
  9. I did contact the BCTCS Disabilities office, and basically the only assistance they can provide is note taking and letting me use an "fm system", which I do not need (because my hearing aides work well). They were really of no help, otherwise. I te...
  10. Taking A&P I this Fall

    Kina, what college do you attend? And is it the nursing program that requires such a high GPA to get in, or just the college in general? Is is Centre, by the way? Hugs, Aeron
  11. KCTCS Bluegrass?

    My wife works at a facility in northern Kentucky, and some of her co-workers attend Gateway KCTCS. I was thinking of checking out the program. How does it compare to the program that EKU has? Hugs, Aeron
  12. KCTCS Bluegrass?

    I'm a student at BCTCS, just aren't taking any classes this Fall 2008 semester. I took an HVAC and Circuits I/II classes last Spring 2008 semester, and decided electricity wasn't for me (especially after a capacitor zapped me). I already have an IT...
  13. Bluegrass BCTCS Nursing Students

    I never thought an Internet thread forum could be so beautiful. I am not even in the nursing program at BCTCS, yet, nor have I even applied for it. At this point, I don't even have my CNA license, yet. Still.............this is great information ...
  14. If you are planning on working in long-term care, being a CNA *would* be a wise decision! My wife is an LPN with 20-something years of experience in long term care, and she will tell you that the worst nurses she's worked with are the ones that were...
  15. I hope no one minds a rookie reviving a six month old thread. At the moment I am investigating WHERE to get my CNA license (I live just north of Georgetown, KY). It is so expensive. Yes, BCTCS requires the CNA license before they will accept you...
