   As a student who just started the clinical part of the program this past January I can tell you to hold on tight and enjoy the ride. The five week classes go very fast. For the first fifteen weeks you'll have three main tests. Fail one and your looki...

   Scyankee replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

   I should be starting clinicals next spring at Gvl Tech. Did you have a CNA job or any other job in the area? I know from others that the job market is tough here but just one question. I everyone who graduated last Dec having just as hard of a time...

   Scyankee replied to Pinkpea11's topic in General Nursing

   One more point. Just like eating snow it takes energy to melt the snow in your mouth leading to very little hydration. Milkshakes being thicker, frozen drinks may take extra energy to process from the time it hits your mouth than lemonaid that is pr...

   Scyankee replied to Pinkpea11's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I'm going against the grain here. The question says on a HOT day I would think they are trying to imply that the purpose of the drink is primarily to keep from becoming dehydrated. So my guess would be the Lemon-aid. It has more calories th...

5. Looking to move to SC from Boston

   Scyankee replied to HDfatboy's topic in South Carolina

   Remember that smaller cities have fewer hospitals. I know students who have graduated and are being told no one is hiring in the Gville area. Now they are new grads and that is a problem everywhere now but the Gville/Spartanburg area has around 6 nu...

6. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

   Scyankee replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

   It is amazing that so many people agree with this crazy idea. What we see now is all the no new grads, at least one year experience. What do you think we would see if everyone was willing to work a year for min wage? We would find that hospitals w...

   Tips, keep up with the grades. Looks like the points to get into the programs hit a record high this semester. 31 minimum for the LPN and 52 for the RN program is what i heard. That makes graded the number one priority.

8. Is this school worht it???

   Scyankee replied to xLovelyMakeupx's topic in LPN-RN

    Scyankee replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    If you take a minute and read the employment opportunities available right now I think you would find that a large majority say something like (Check out indeed.com). Minimum one to two years experience required, Bachelors preferred. Experience requ...

11. Dilemma: Should I settle? Is it worth it in the long run?

    Scyankee replied to Mariposa2009's topic in General Nursing

    Knowing that you have been offered a job in LTC, than why not take the clinic job for now and keep applying for the hospital positions you are looking for. Remember that with the experience you gain working at the clinic you would also make you more...

15. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    Scyankee replied to DanainOrlando's topic in Career Support

    I would say take a look at the classes you'll need to take in both bridge programs. I know there is a bridge program here for both but those who choose the medic first still end up taking a lot of the same classes that they would of already taken in...
