1. Advice from commuters on how to survive 12-hr shifts??

   makunc replied to makunc's topic in General Nursing

   35-45 mins may not be a commute for some people, but it is for me. I don't usually drive because I use public transit, so it's an adjustment! Also, my mom used to work at the same hospital and quit after two months to go back to a closer one because ...

   Hi fellow nursing people!!! I'm finishing up my first year of nursing school, and this summer we have to complete internships working as nursing assistants. I got a job on a med/surg floor at a hospital. I've been scheduled for 12 hr shifts 3x (co...

   Amisadai, I'm living in Chapel View beginning in August, but a friend of mine lives in Chapel Ridge. Chapel Ridge is the newer complex and is mostly college kids (read: more partying). However, Chapel View is a mix between college kids and regular fa...

   Oh and congrats! Can't wait to meet you! What pre-o date did you pick?

   makunc replied to UNC-CH 2011 HOPEFUL's topic in North Carolina

   I think it'd only be easier to get in this time around since not as many people applied (they thought they'd be able to apply in August for January matriculation) to the May cohort. But in future application cycles, there will be more applicants sinc...

   Hey all, I got some news from a friend who told me the last admission meetings is on Friday, so we probably won't be getting our letters till after spring break. Boo! More waiting

    They could come out next week, but most likely the week after spring break. I hope they can get them out soon though...

    They may come out as early as the first week of March (next week), but at the latest, the week after spring break. My friend who applied for the ABSN program got her reply form from UNC which only gave her the two options, so I don't think they're le...

    makunc replied to UNC-CH 2011 HOPEFUL's topic in North Carolina

    Oh ok. So it will be easier to get in, at the cost of only being to apply once a year. They reduced the amount of people they accepted by 25% from the total of 130, admitting around 96 people annually only, instead of twice a year. That makes sense. ...

    makunc replied to UNC-CH 2011 HOPEFUL's topic in North Carolina

    I don't think that's how they're doing it. People who applied for the ABSN track have 2 options: 1) to withdraw their application and receive a refund, or 2) to keep their application in and have it be considered for January matriculation. That's the...

    I knowww! I didn't apply anywhere else this time because I thought if I didn't get in now I could just reapply in August for January matriculation...now I have to figure out what I'll do for a back up major here at UNC since I'll have a whole year un...

    makunc replied to UNC-CH 2011 HOPEFUL's topic in North Carolina

    Hi again, I would agree. Unlike general acceptance to colleges, there's no "early" deadline, so all decision letters go out at the same time. I'm just wondering, do you think they'll get our letters out earlier considering they aren't reviewing any A...
