   What hospital? I'm in the Winston Salem area and just accepted a position at Wake Forest Baptist. I'm just a unit sec but it will be in oncology.

2. Tuition cost

   anixon replied to hs4lisha's topic in ADN/BSN

   Yes. I got into a 80k program just 2 wks ago and for me and my family decided it was stupid to pay that much for a job that only pays 21-24/hr. Plus to incur that debt at 37 yrs old would be unthinkable for me and my family lol. Yes, my hubby would h...

   Good luck vbee! I'm glad you got an early seat too. I was VERY tempted but in the end it's what's better for my family and I.

   anixon replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina

   Hello all. Not sure what has been going on with all of you but I was offered a spot on the 2014 fall cohort starting this Monday. While I do have finances in order to do it I refused the seat as well as took myself off the wait list for spring 2015. ...

   anixon replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina

   Well, I am not sure I agree with all of that Homelife, but that's okay. I am still contemplating the cost and whether or not to be a nurse. I am not liking the outlook of the career and what I have seen on the job. I currently have a great job opport...

   anixon replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina

   Almost seems like the wait list isn't ranked! They will just go thru and decide who they want to send invites too. It should have been ordered as they ranked the first round applicants. And as student decline seats, they admit student individually. T...

   I think the only thing that really bothers me is that we don't get the Duke day opportunity. I don't care about the interviews or curric change really.

10. Never Too Old for Nursing School

    anixon replied to Biosciencegeek's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am 37 and on the waitlist for the Duke University ABSN program. I also homeschool my 3 kiddos and worry about that. Sometimes I am on board with my decision and the other half of the time I think I am nutz!

11. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    anixon replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

    I guess it's different when you actually have children. I personally wouldn't care for an Ebola patient. Nor would I expect anyone who wasn't comfortable doing it to do it, children or not. That's where accidents happens. Now, I don't use the excuse ...

    Yeah Homelife that's what I was wondering... The private loans. They tend to be difficult to get without a consigner. I didn't know they did away with the masters credits!

13. How old were you/how long did it take?

    anixon replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in CNM

    I think you are still very young. I am 37 and waiting to see if I get into an ABSN program. Good luck and don't worry about your age! :)

    Hey all. I was just wonder to those of you who accepted your seat or plan to if you were able to get financing?

15. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    anixon replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

    At the hospital I work at we had a TB patient and the nurse scheduled to care for this patient politely refused because he was worried about bringing it home to his children. He wasn't fired or looked down upon. EVERYONE understood. He switched patie...
