  2. hiring freeze?

    momathoner09 replied to dionnedillon's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I can confirm that there is most definitely a hiring freeze in the Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) for new grads. In fact, offers for December grads have been resended (sp?) due to budget...

    momathoner09 replied to FutureNCRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I worked the second, third, and fourth semester. I would not recommend it. My job was only on the weekends and I was able to study while I was there so it was actually perfect. But I had to be there...

  10. Advice if you have to go to 2nd choice & they don't offer Nursing

    momathoner09 replied to shoppergirl's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I agree with this. It took me 2 years to get into a nursing program in NC with a degree from another school. Another major doesn't help you b/c you will just waste time and money taking courses over...

    momathoner09 replied to WhiteKnight's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    momathoner09 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    momathoner09 replied to JettaDP's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  19. going to Mercy School of Nursing?

    momathoner09 replied to OakIsland's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think your 3.2 should be fine. My college gpa was lower than that:eek:. Plus it's in engineering which is no easy major I assume. I don't think they really look at the gpa number so much as that you...

  24. Any LPN programs starting in January?

    momathoner09 replied to renee_cal's topic in North Carolina Nursing
