  3. Points at GTCC

    MotivatedOne replied to wasadoggynurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    There were a few reasons they went through so many alternates. Those who were accepted were accepted somewhere else...mainly Forsyth Tech, and decided to go there instead. Some of the alternates...

  4. Points at GTCC

    MotivatedOne replied to wasadoggynurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was in the program last fall and ended up failing my pharmacology final which then brought my final grade down 2 points below the required 78 to pass the class. I honestly couldn't tell you what to...

  8. LPN jobs in NC

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm in the triad area. It's more the population than the job itself. I agree a job is a job and tell my unemployed friends that every day. But honestly, I'm too much of a punk to work in a prison. I...

  10. Points at GTCC

    MotivatedOne replied to wasadoggynurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I believe I had 54 points when I applied for the Fall 2009 semester. I was put on the alternate list. I was alternate #10 and was later accepted into the program. I'd say at least half of my class...

    MotivatedOne replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I got fed up my first semester in nursing school and like most of you thought the same thing. That I wasn't learning anything and that going to class was a complete waste of time. After failing my...

  12. So what are all the steps in Nursing please?

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

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

    I may be too late but I wouldn't recommend taking your pre req's at WSSU for the accelerated program. Especially considering you have to use loans to pay your tuition. It would be much cheaper and in...

  16. Just a vent about nursing school

    MotivatedOne replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Students

    Yeah the fundamentals crap is boring. At least someone has learned how to prep an IV line. We haven't even gotten that far and we started on the 17th of Aug. Basically we're thrown in a lab and told...

  19. One Module Down

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in General Students

    My whole clinical group is in agreement that we are learning far more from our clinical instructor than we are from our lecture and lab instructors. We just started vital signs today. Our class is...

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

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

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

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

    I didn't ask why I wasn't accepted into the program. I considered it a blessing in disguise. Maybe it was the Lord's way of telling me I wouldn't be able to handle the program's intensity...who knows!...
