Hello!! I applied to Johnston Community College's Nursing program for the Fall '06 and would love to talk with someone else who has applied or is a student in their program!!

I am looking for some advice. I have been a RN for a little less than a year in a hospital telemetry unit. I do not love my job (I don't dislike it either), but the experience has been tremendous and I have learned more than I ever imagined possible....

Good luck! You can do it!!!!!

Just finished the NCLEX-PN with 85 questions and feel awful! I was surprised when the computer shut down after 85!! It's going to be a long wait! Good luck to everyone getting ready to take their exam and to those who just took it!

I passed!!! I can hardly believe it!!! I can't believe that I will need to do this again in May for my RN - it is awful!! Good luck to everyone waiting! Just a couple of things for all of you who are waiting - I had to wait 49 1/2 hrs for my resu...

I am about to beat my head with my book - please help. I need to write a diagnosis for a self care deficit: bathing/hygiene. My pt is OOB with assistance, admitted for chf, htn, mi, and cellulitis. Pt is elderly and morbidly obese, and uses a walk...

I agree about the tests. Although, they were hard in A&P 1, I think the tests for A&P 2 are much more difficult. I study and study, but there is just so much information - I am unsure what to focus on. Dr. Simmons said to focus on the outl...

to see if anyone has received their letters from Johnston Community College yet?? The wait is terrible - any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

:balloons: Congratulations on graduating and passing the boards!!!! :balloons: I didn't know the points weren't the only determining criteria, they didn't share that bit of info!! Anyway, congrats again!!

Hi! It is pretty competitive, but it sounds like you have a very good start with 25 points. I scored a 98% on the math portion and a 76% on the reading section. This put me in the 98% nationally. I definitely recommend buying the study guide, the ...

Oh, I forgot to mention this. I have an "easy" anatomy book by Thibodeau and Patton called "Structure and function of the body" and used this book to learn the basics from. It is written much simpler and I found once I had the basics mastered I cou...

Hello everyone!! I am taking A&P II with you all!! I just finished A&P I on Friday. I took it with Dr. Simmons and had a good experience overall. The tests were 25 questions in 30 minutes. I did find the tests hard, but I was able to do ...

Okay, I have not done this for nursing school yet, but I am good at math. I am sure there are many correct ways to do this - here is mine. You know you have 15units in 500 ml, so each 1 ml has .03 u (15/500). To infuse .06 units a minute you need ...

Yeah!! I received my letter today and I am in!!!!!!!! I am so excited, I can hardly believe it!!!! Good luck to everyone still waiting!!!

I finally received my letter and I am IN!!!!!!! Woohooo! I am so excited (and scared!). Congrats to you all that are finishing this semester and thanks to everyone for their kinds words and for sharing their experiences!! Denise

Hi everyone! I start on Monday too! I must admit I am a bit nervous about it, it seems like a short time for a great deal of material. 5 days for 2 chapters!!!??? Thankfully this is my only course, so I will be able to focus all of my energy on thi...

Ugh!!! Our school told us we would know by the end of April (we had to have our apps and all in before Feb 1st!), but I hadn't heard anything so I called them and now they say mid-May!!!! The wait is just terrible, especially because I have been men...

I am sure you did fine!!!! Just hang in there and tomorrow you will have the results!!! Good luck to you and don't forget to share your good news with us!

With all this effort to find someone to do it for you, maybe you can just do to yourself?

It seems as though everyone has received their acceptance letters (Congrats to all who did!), I feel like I am the only one STILL waiting for the letter. I called my school and they said by the end of April, I know that is this week - but everyday I ...

Congratulations!!!!:balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

Sorry, it's just me again checking to see if anyone has heard anything - whether they received a letter or heard anything about when letters will be coming!! I can't stand the wait!!!! Thanks so much!

Like everyone else awaiting acceptance letters, I am driving myself crazy and I still have another 4 weeks of waiting until I get my letter!!!!! I just want to see what you all think about this, last year the points to get into the Nursing program w...

Congrats!!! :balloons: :balloons: What school are you attending? I am in Raleigh and I am waiting too - maybe I will get my letter tomorrow?? Again, CONGRATS !!!

I am STILL waiting! :angryfire I just can't stand it!!!! Why do they make us wait so long????? It is just plain mean!!! Hopefully I will hear something before the end of April - is anyone else waiting for their letter from an eastern NC communit...
