  1. Fall 2011 ADN GTCC/FTCC

    MotivatedOne replied to nyanbensmommy1's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm in my second semester or nursing school at GTCC. But I have coworkers who are in the nursing program at FTCC. I may be a bit partial to GTCC because I go there but...if you look at the 5 year...

  2. I'm a CNA just because I want experience

    MotivatedOne replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would go ahead and renew but you may you have to retake the class since it's been a while since you were last certified. Most nursing schools are now requiring you to have your NA certification in...

  3. I'm a CNA just because I want experience

    MotivatedOne replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've always known I wanted to do something in the medical field and even took science and medical science classes in high school to reflect my decision but once I started college, a lack of motivation...

  4. Anyone here ever failed out of nursing school?

    MotivatedOne replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    I think it's ridiculous that because you failed clinic, you failed the class...they could had at least given you a D. Anyway, congratulations on your acceptance and good luck :-) I too will be...

  5. Anyone here ever failed out of nursing school?

    MotivatedOne replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    I failed my first semester of my ADN program by 2 points. I was devastated and cried the whole way home but there was hope...I was allowed to reapply for the following fall semester and because I had...

  6. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    MotivatedOne replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I wouldn't necessarily call getting your ADN vs your BSN an "easy route" It is a more economical route, for me anyway. The classes I've taken in my ADN program were tough!!! Most employers are more...

  7. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    MotivatedOne replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm going to have to disagree with you on that last statement. I already have a bachelor's degree and am not eligible for student loans. So I opted to attend a community college because the tuition is...

  8. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    MotivatedOne replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    :) Well it's true both ADN and BSN graduates take the same NCLEX-RN

  9. GTCC Fall 2010

    MotivatedOne posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd first like to congratulate those accepted as well as those placed on the alternate list for GTCC's Fall 2010 Nursing Program. :yeah::yeah: To those on the alternate list, remain hopeful! I was an...

  10. What's the difference between a CNA II and an LPN in NC???

    MotivatedOne replied to Maggie in NC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yeppers...CNA II's can hang IV's but I don't think we can actually change bags. I think we can only set them up. The nurse would have to come in and change the settings. I could be wrong but I think...

  11. GTCC Fall 2010

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been working as a NA for 2.5 years now. I'm employed by one of the hospitals you'll be doing your clinicals at this semester. I could study depending on how smoothly the night goes. It's not that...

  12. Getting into a nursing school

    MotivatedOne replied to codeblue222's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Actually it's a 2.6 and I believe they actually accept people with that low of a GPA...I'd visit the campus and talk to the program director/admissions board...let them know you're interested and ask...

  13. Celebrate Your Fall 2010 Acceptances Here!!!

    MotivatedOne replied to starmickey03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE ACCEPTED AND GOOD LUCK TO THOSE STILL WAITING! I was readmitted to the ADN program at my current community college. Was in the nursing program last fall but screwed up and...

  14. Stuck in between two careers

    MotivatedOne replied to tootsyroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in a nursing program last semester and had a student who switched from the RT program to nursing. She was only 4 classes away from graduating from the RT program but convinced herself nursing...

  15. Online classes good enough?

    MotivatedOne replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken online classes at a 4 yr university and at local community colleges and they've all been accepted. I've taken Gen Psych, a few business classes, and I'm currently taking gen sociology...

  16. Community College Nursing Program

    MotivatedOne replied to Sudiswa07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just accepted into a CC nursing program...again! I already have a bachelor's degree and I'm attending the community college because of cost. My CC's NCLEX pass rate is just as high if not higher...

  17. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    MotivatedOne replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm late in posting to this forum with the semester being nearly over and all. I'm actually retaking A&P seeing as how I got a C in both 1 and 2 my first go around. I'm taking 7 hours...

  18. Is it better to take microbiology after anatomy and physiology?

    MotivatedOne replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Micro and A&P 1 at the same time....another school I attended recommended taking A&P 2 and micro at the same time. I don't think it matters whether you take it first or second or...

  19. GED book for TEAS?

    MotivatedOne replied to StephMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used the GED books to study for the TEAS...when I studied of course. I would recommend getting an old science book for the science part and going over cloud formations, rocks and volcanoes...both...

  20. WSSU ABSN Anyone from Winston Salem, NC or familiar with?

    MotivatedOne replied to TJSbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG...are you serious? I'd kill for B's in A&P I personally believe you have a great chance of getting into the ABSN program. I seriously doubt everyone accepted had all A's and 4.0 GPA's....

  21. IT IS OFFICIAL

    MotivatedOne replied to titans767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I know when I first decided to go back to school I was nervous and becoming a CNA was my first task to overcome. I'm a second degree student, not a career changer so I can only...

  22. where to go for entry level CNA job??

    MotivatedOne replied to 567 SeaOtter's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think with so many factories closing down, a lot of people have chosen nursing as a profession. Now that the majority of programs require you be an NA, a lot of the factory workers become NA's and...

    MotivatedOne replied to Maggie in NC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  24. What's the difference between a CNA II and an LPN in NC???

    MotivatedOne replied to Maggie in NC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I had a patient who is also a nurse suggest becoming an LPN after the first year of my ADN program. I spoke with one of my instructors about it and she said you can no longer take the NCLEX-PN to...

  25. GTCC Fall 2010

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks!!! Congratulations to you as well. I hear FTCC's program is tough. Like you have to at least an 80 to pass. I think not having any children is somewhat of an advantage but I know plenty of...
