  1. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    I don't mind answering your questions at all. My advice about the tattoo would be to just not draw attn to it. I have many classmates with small tattoos on the back of the neck and wrist and I've never heard any mention of them having to be covered ...
  2. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    I'm pretty sure we're wearing a Barco 7178 three pocket unisex vtop. It appears to be still available, and thank god for that because women's tops wouldn't be too flattering on a guy my size, lol. I'd suggest calling the Scrub Hub to see if she knows...
  3. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    The scrubs are Barco in Hunter Green, but I see you've already done your research on that. There was a small selection of white labcoats we were allowed to choose from also, but no white scrubs. I know Stacey's offered embroidery with the purchase of...
  4. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    I'm quite impressed with the program and most of the faculty here. Clinical sites can extend as far south into Lawrence MA, but for the most part all are within thirty minutes of campus in Dover, Portsmouth, Exeter and Rochester. I commute fifty mile...
  5. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    Congratulations on acceptance! I'm a fourth semester student at GBCC, and if memory serves me right our first semester sites were in Dover, Exeter, Portsmouth, and Brentwood. Speaking as a commuter, the faculty seems to have made great attempts to pl...
  6. Entering RN program in Fall 2012 - what to choose: MCC or GBCC

    Congrats on the acceptance! As a student at GBCC I've been very happy with my experience. I see you're going to be a commuter, and aside from seacoast area facilities we also have clinicals at Exeter Hosp, and as far south as Lawrence. Of course they...
  7. Male nurse working with female patients.

    It's been my experience in clinical that female patients over 50 or so sometimes aren't comfortable with male nurses. Don't get me wrong, they'll let you do their assessments, wound care, and med admin, but in my experience if there's anything they c...
  8. If your income will be that low, see if the Health Profession Opportunity Grant is available in your state. It's a fairly new grant that's a bit difficult to find info on, but if it's available in your state could be well worth your looking into. It'...
  9. You can do this. It's been almost three years since I returned to school and I'm in my final semester of an ADN program. I worked in the construction field, and continue to work weekends and through breaks. Financially, returning to school hurts... a...
  10. GBCC 2011 Hopefuls

    Overall I'm quite happy with the program, they want us to succeed, and although it can be quite tough to get in, once accepted the failure rate is quite low. It sounds like the new scoring system might have some bugs to work out, but don't forget you...
  11. GBCC 2011 Hopefuls

    It's a great score, I'll graduate in May and you would very likely have been accepted in my class with those scores and A+P completed. I wouldn't worry too much about the science, a 91 is great, and most ppl taking the test arent likely to score bett...
  12. Are there any scholarships or grants aside from FAFSA??

    I'd strongly suggest picking up work-study. There are many scholarships at my school that you must be nominated for by faculty and I've found that work-study gives faculty the opportunity to get to know you. When they can associate a name with the fa...
  13. HELP PLEASE!!! Low NLN entrance test scores --how can I improve them

    So, I know you really want help, but we need some more information. What are your percentile scores for english, math and science under the "ALL" category. Those figures will determine your strengths and weaknesses and what you should study. Don't fo...
  14. GBCC 2011 Hopefuls

    Last year we were notified in early March. Previous classes didn't receive their letters until late April. So, I'm not quite sure how to answer your question... Good luck!
  15. What are the steps to getting into GBCC?

    As far as English and Math on the NLN you might already be pretty strong and not yet know it. You won't be able to rely on a calculator, every thing must be done longhand on paper. But... it's mutiple choice. Quick time-saving hint here: If you have ...
