   Good Luck to you. I graduate in May and just received a job this Tuesday at Duke Medical Ctr- Sister hospitals :) They (Durham Regional) actually came to our school giving info about the GEMS program. Sounds like a good program if you are interest...

2. North Carolina Roll Call

   2bRn-STAT replied to RNPATL's topic in North Carolina

   Hi, congrats on your new love for nursing. If you are short a few classes in getting into the ADN program it is NOT a waste of time to pursue your LPN while you wait to get in your program of choice. I had a 2 year waiting list for my ADN program, ...

   2bRn-STAT posted a topic in General Nursing

   I had to take the HESI exam today. We need a 900 to pass on the 1st try, if you dont then you have to take it a 2nd time in May and get an 850, if you dont pass then you get an incomplete for a grade and you retake for the 3rd time and get an 850. ...

4. ECPI/MCI LPN Program - anyone?

   2bRn-STAT replied to kaseysmom's topic in Virginia

   Get your ADN and tough it out with the commute. I am not familiar with ECPI's RN programs. I went to Raleigh's LPN program. It gave me everything I needed to pass the boards and be competent at work. I graduated June of 06 and started my RN progr...

7. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

   2bRn-STAT replied to Princess74's topic in North Carolina

   Hey, everything is going good. Thanks for asking. I am in my 2nd term now and it is going good. Its tough and there is a whole lot of information given in a shorter time frame. You really have to be in your books. Im taking Phamacology and Found...

8. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

   2bRn-STAT replied to Princess74's topic in North Carolina

   Cay, I didnt quite understand your post? Were you saying go ahead and get my ADN at any school? And I wasnt sure if you were agreeing with me when you said why wait. But yes, that is why i went ahead to ECPI-so rather than sit a year out waiting t...

9. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

   2bRn-STAT replied to Princess74's topic in North Carolina

   That is great to hear. I wanted to go to DTech so bad. I just cant continue to wait -wasting time. I have all of the classes under my belt accept micro. But still over a year and a half wait. When I finish LPN school in June of next year, I woul...

10. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    2bRn-STAT replied to Princess74's topic in North Carolina

    yes, it is expensive-I am willing to pay for my education becuz I do not want to continue to wait-I do not trust the point system over at Wake either. I have heard some discouraging things from actual admissions counselors about their system. Durha...

    2bRn-STAT replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in LPN/LVN

    Yeah, the one in Raleigh started an Lpn program last year. Durham Tech has one too -with a waiting list of 2 +years. Their Rn program is right at about a 2 year wait. Well-hope you find out soon-Good luck

12. LPN versus CMA

    2bRn-STAT replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in LPN/LVN

    ok, Im in the same situation you are. Ive got all classes except Micro. But my school actually has a waiting list, no point system. Which I guess makes a fair chance for everyone wanting to enter. It is literally first come first serve. Just no ...

13. LPN versus CMA

    2bRn-STAT replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hey, Im in NC too. Where are you getting your LPN at? Im getting mine at ECPI and then Im going to bridge over to Rn at Durham Technical Comm College. The waiting lists are so long, I had to go this route just to avoid the wait.

    2bRn-STAT replied to Blackman's topic in Men

15. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    2bRn-STAT replied to ashfost's topic in New Nurse

    Its not stupid at all, you have a plan and that plan will work for you. Just dont stay becuz you are scared to leave what you know. You'll do fine wherever you go, dont get complacent and scared to venture out. But also dont let money take you awa...
