   Hey guys, I'm tentatively scheduled to graduate in May from FTCC. Your first semester you will pick #'s to decide your section (draw from a hat). From then on they just put you in a clinical group each semester. It's very tough. You'll have to dedica...

2. This might make you think twice about which nursing school to go to

   MandaTaye replied to AZGirl27's topic in Arizona

   Personally, I had to comment. Nursing school is the hardest thing I've ever done period, as I assume most of you agree. I have encountered wonderful nurses, but majority of the time even the CNA's are disrespectful to us. Angry because we have to u...

3. Applicants to forsyth techs 2011 adn program

   MandaTaye replied to RN Dreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can just repeat the course but by the time you withdraw the day you apply has passed..so you wait a semester and take other classes. My advice would be to be prepared for nursing school to be your LIFE.. You will have no friends, your house will ...

7. A & P Help

   MandaTaye replied to wannabeanurse2012's topic in Student Assist

   I really dislike shortened Anatomy courses because there's sooooo much information. My advice to you would be to go ahead and accept that you will be studying pretty much all the time, and when youre not studying youll feel guilty about not studying ...

    MandaTaye replied to MandaTaye's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah, if you haven't finished Anatomy that's why you didn't get in. They want to see how you do in that class first. What grade do you think you're making in 165?? 160 is more than enough points to get in. You should be in like flynn :) Use that time...

    MandaTaye replied to MandaTaye's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Dixie - It happens all the time, actually. But I know you'd rather know... What are your plans if you don't get in this semester? And you're right about the poor job outlook for new grads in this area. It's bad. Even BSN's are having difficulty find...

15. GTCC Fall 2010

    MandaTaye replied to MotivatedOne's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah. I had a very aggressive clinical instructor for CNA..and she almost made me hate nursing. Instructors really can make or break your learning experience. I think some of them are wayyy too hard.
