1. Short Waiting Lists for CC

   leixlip replied to KTBrown's topic in North Carolina

   Johnston CC in Smithfield does not use a waiting list, it is always merit based. Great NCLEX pass rate but you do have to be CNA 1 to be accepted.

2. If you're happy w/your 1st RN job ...

   leixlip replied to RN007's topic in New Nurse

   Cardiac/tele, 1:5 days and 1:6 nights guaranteed!

3. Ped's and Women's Health ?

   leixlip replied to JoAnna McNurse's topic in NCLEX

   I passed with 75 and about 20 of them were peds or womens health. Lucky for me as those are my areas.

4. Am I Smart Enough To Pass?

   leixlip replied to SeriphumRN2b's topic in NCLEX

   I didn't find that, do I have to scroll through all the pages?

5. Am I Smart Enough To Pass?

   leixlip replied to SeriphumRN2b's topic in NCLEX

   Why do you "have" to get half the NCLEX questions wrong? Some could pass with 24% wrong even.

6. Need Help!!`

   leixlip replied to allnursesnobug's topic in NCLEX

   Call your bon, they may have a problem completing your background check or paperwork. 2 nclex passees (?) in my residency have been waiting a few weeks for theirs to be sorted out.

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

   leixlip replied to Princess74's topic in North Carolina

   Depends on your area, my school takes some LPN's in Spring of the first year but it depends on available seats. Only about 75% make it to RN. Unfortunately the LPN is being phased out in the major med centers so there are not as many jobs anymore.

8. First 3 weeks of class...

   leixlip replied to nurse206's topic in General Students

   Don't let Suzanne see your screen name. Apparently you can only use nurse/RN/LPN if you have a license.

9. Am I ready?

   leixlip replied to littlerose's topic in NCLEX

   Yea, you are probably ready. I bet you'll be surprised when you see it and think that you even over-studied.

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

    leixlip replied to Princess74's topic in North Carolina

    Almost as hard as getting into RN school.

11. Training after graduation?

    leixlip replied to frank6151's topic in New Nurse

    Start checking the hospital employment openings as many of these internships will be filled long before you graduate and you may miss out.

12. What was your favorite area?

    leixlip replied to FNPhopeful's topic in New Nurse

    Psych was my favorite clinical even though it was not what I wanted to do. We did our rotation at a womens prison and had the best time. My favorite experience was a peds preceptorship which showed me what I wanted to do when I graduated.

13. Nurses's diagnosis

    leixlip replied to FNPhopeful's topic in New Nurse

    Did you think the docs ran the hospitals??? Anyway, there is a diff between medical diagnosis and nursing diagnosis. Hang in there, the clouds will lift.

14. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

    leixlip replied to debsuztx's topic in New Nurse

    When we were in school we had a lot of recruiters come and buy us lunch. I ended up working a residency for one of those that was not initially on my job radar. Thankfully jobs are so plentiful here that pretty much all my class had jobs before gradu...

15. 75 Questions

    leixlip replied to sabrn2006's topic in NCLEX

    I was another who felt great when I left, actually pumped up and talking a mile a minute. There were a few in my class who felt the same so don't let anyone take that feeling from you!
