1. CNA's on your floor?

   missdixie023 replied to nursingal32's topic in General Nursing

   I am a CNA & nursing student. I can't believe that you would actually have to make a checklist for your NA's but it sounds like it's a must in your situation. I work in gyn-onc and on my floor these things are just expected. I start at the beginn...

   missdixie023 replied to RN Dreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Mine didn't come in today's mail either :\ I don't know why she would mail them out different days so I feel like I should have gotten it already. I had more points than some other people I know that got in. Ugh!

   missdixie023 replied to RN Dreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats ADN! I know a few other people who got their letters yesterday, which leaves me feeling a little discouraged because I didn't get one. I feel like a crazy woman scrambling to the mailbox 30 seconds after it passes every day! Maybe today is t...

6. peds nurses

   missdixie023 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everyone. I am a nursing student, and current CNA II working in GYN-ONC. My dream is to work in pediatrics, but it is so very difficult to get a position as a nurse in one of these units at our hospital. I was hoping someone could tell me where I ...

7. Applicants to forsyth techs 2011 adn program

   missdixie023 replied to RN Dreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi everyone! I have also applied for the Spring 2011 ADN program. I applied for Fall 2010 and received an alternate list letter. I never got called off of the alternate list. At that time I only had 143 points. I now have 150 but I still don't know i...

8. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

   missdixie023 replied to MandaTaye's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey guys, I have a question... How do the clinical days work throughout the program? Like, that time do they start, what time must you be at the hospital, how many times a week are clinicals, etc. I'm planning on moving about 30 minutes from Winston ...

9. Can a CNA get a job as a MA?

   missdixie023 replied to ccastor's topic in General Nursing

   In our state, the MA program is a 2 year degree consisting of a lot of clinical hours- then you must pass your boards. I know that here it would be impossible for a CNA to work as a MA.

11. Nursing School vs. Family

    missdixie023 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I'm feeling a bit discouraged and i'm hoping for some feedback. I'm starting the ADN program at my school soon. I'm a single mom and recently moved back home with my parents after getting laid-off from my previous job. My parents are mor...

12. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    missdixie023 replied to MandaTaye's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, I do believe that everything happens for a reason, so if I don't get in maybe it just isn't the right time for ME :] I am finishing BIO-165 now, and registered for BIO-166 in the summer- so I feel confident about getting in for Spring. I should...

13. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    missdixie023 replied to MandaTaye's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Nope! I still haven't heard anything :\ I know some people have told me that they got their call in July before class started in August about being accepted from the alternate list. I really don't want to get my hopes up because as hard as it is for ...

    missdixie023 replied to MandaTaye's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think you'll only have Nursing I and Pharmacology as long as you've done all of your pre-reqs, and I also think you start clinicals during the first or second week :]
