1. Wait List Advice (first in line)

   dragonfly29 replied to Dchar's topic in General Students

   I called the person over the nursing dept. and flat out asked her where I was and she told me. It doesn't hurt to try and they like to hear from people who are eager to get in.

2. Wait List Advice (first in line)

   dragonfly29 replied to Dchar's topic in General Students

   Crazy things can happen. I was first on the wait list and had people at the school telling me to have other plans. Two people died - very freaky - that had already gotten in so their spaces opened up. The school ended up opening 8 spaces and I got...

3. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

   dragonfly29 replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

   It annoys me too and like you, I don't post my grades. I've had people send me messages asking if I was doing ok in a certain class because of other people in the class posting their grades and they don't see me doing that so I'll write them back an...

   What area in NC do you live in? Mercy School of Nursing has a night program and it's located in Charlotte, NC.

5. Is there any hope in me becoming an RN?

   dragonfly29 replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Some community college nursing programs will accept courses that have been taken more than once to raise GPA so you may want to find out if your school does that.

7. Do I have a chance of being hired?

   dragonfly29 replied to LeeLee87's topic in Technicians

   Check the local community colleges. Most have NA I classes. You do not get paid to attend though, you have to pay for the class. That was my experience. I hate that didn't work out for you because that sounded like a great opportunity! That's th...

8. PCT/HCT/CNA What is the difference ?

   dragonfly29 replied to sincerelyjane's topic in Technicians

   In NC PCTs are CNA IIs and must have CNA I (PCA) prior to taking a CNA II course. They make more (around $1 an hour) than CNA I and can do more skills. I just completed a CNA II course and will start nursing school in August. It has helped me SO m...

9. starting clinicals this fall

   dragonfly29 replied to Piper17's topic in General Students

   I start clinicals this fall too and feel the same way you do! I just completed the CNA II program and had clinicals at the local hospital and it helped me SO much. I am shy so it forced me into uncomfortable situations and I got pretty comfortable ...

10. As a grad RN, should I apply as a PCT?

    dragonfly29 replied to dacmorri1's topic in New Nurse

    I would check to see if you can work as a PCT where you're wanting to work and if you can, I would highly recommend it. A lot of hospitals hire more from within. My niece was a new RN grad last year and worked as a PCA for 3 months and was then abl...

11. Gaston College PN Program

    dragonfly29 replied to WHNP715's topic in North Carolina

    Hi guys! I know many people who really wanted in the ADN program but applied to the LPN program too just in case they didn't get in. Most of them have already gotten in to the ADN program so the numbers for LPN should go down quite a bit.
