    MotivatedOne replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  2. can cna work at urgent care... ?

    MotivatedOne replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Why do you think you have a slim chance of getting a job at a hospital? I work at one of the largest hospitals in NC which is also the first hospital in NC to be recognized as a Magnet Hospital and...

  3. I want to get certified as a cna

    MotivatedOne replied to Danielle21409's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For the record there are some nursing homes that will train you to become a NA in as little as 2 weeks. But the majority of them hire you as a PCA (personal care assistant) or at least the one I...

  4. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    MotivatedOne replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll start in 2 days...Monday the 17th and it seems like it's taking forever to get here. I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their acceptance and wish you all the best of luck!!!:yeah: I'm...

  5. Am I setting myself up for failure

    MotivatedOne replied to Reallyconfused0160's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure why it costs you $700 for your clinicals. I mean, what exactly are you paying for? Do the sites charge you to use them? I'm taking 13 semester hours this Fall and my total cost for the...

  6. Am I setting myself up for failure

    MotivatedOne replied to Reallyconfused0160's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each credit hour is $50 at my school. I'm hoping to use the tuition reimbursement that my current employer provides. It will cover half of the cost of tuition and give me a textbook...

  7. Am I setting myself up for failure

    MotivatedOne replied to Reallyconfused0160's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow...$18,000 for your ADN from a community college...that's ridiculous!!! I'm hoping it doesn't cost me more than $6000 including the cost of books and uniforms for my ADN program. Like GrayMatter...

  8. Did any of you accelerated BSN folks have a not-so-great GPA in your first major?

    MotivatedOne replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    My undergrad GPA was a 2.88 and I had like 5 F's and maybe 4 D's on that transcript. My nursing pre-req GPA was somewhere between a 3.2 and 3.4...I can't remember. Anyway, I wasn't accepted into the...

  9. FED UP CNAS!!!!

    MotivatedOne replied to marineswife0809's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Fortunately, since I work in a hospital, Housekeeping does all of that. Although, we clean up vomit when a pt vomits on the floor or in the bed, we're sent to the room before the Nurse is. But when a...

  10. Are you proud to be a CNA?

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

    Where are you located? What does FTCC stand for? I'm in NC and we have a few

  11. Are you proud to be a CNA?

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

    Why not try schools that don't require the HOBET since you can't take it again for 3 years or try to take it at a different school and have your score transferred if at all possible. Don't let your...

  12. I passed Chemistry with a "C", should I retake?

    MotivatedOne replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't recommend taking chemistry over...especially right now. I'd would just focus on your other pre-req's and try to get at least B's. I seriously doubt every student in a BSN program had all...

  13. How to take blood pressure w/ Aneroid Monitor

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

    i'm guessing it's referring to an initial reading...like say if it's a patient's second visit at a clinic and his/her previous blood pressure was recorded as being 140/85 then you'd inflate the cuff...

  14. Are you proud to be a CNA?

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

    I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm proud to be a CNA but I'm proud to have had the opportunity to see things from the other side. At the same time, I'm not ashamed or afraid to tell people that I'm a...

  15. FED UP CNAS!!!!

    MotivatedOne replied to marineswife0809's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wowzer...reading some of these posts and sitting through the horror stories told by classmates in my NAII class. I am truly blessed to be working on my unit. Granted I have my moments when I really...

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

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

    I've read on numerous occasions that most hospitals preferred a candidate have a BSN as opposed to an ADN but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll give a position to a BSN trained nurse before they...

  17. I'm old, no money, depressed..

    MotivatedOne replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    Wowzer...MedicJohn, you are only as old as you feel. I'm 26 with a previous bachelor's degree and almost $39,000 in debt from that degree along with pre-req's I decided to take at a 4 yr school in...

  18. Accelerated BSN or 4-year Program better for Grad School acceptance?

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

    You may want to check the requirements for the Grad programs you're planning on applying to. From my research, I've noticed that most MSN programs require you have at least a year of clinical...

  22. Is my GRE score bad?

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

    I agree with Paco386, a 1000 from what I've heard is an average score and what most consider a competitive starting point. Good

  24. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    MotivatedOne replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was #10 on the alternate list and got "the call" like a week after the deadline to have our physicals and immunizations in. A week later, a classmate of mine who was #29 on the alternate list got...

  25. RN to BSN, OR RN to MSN?

    MotivatedOne replied to KaiTT21's topic in General Students

    I think most MSN programs require you have at least 1 year of nursing experience before you're eligible to apply for admission. You're definitely not too young to pursue getting a Master's degree....
