  1. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    MotivatedOne replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    ADN nurses make more than $25/hr. That's ridiculous that with a Master's your mom didn't make more than $25...what year was that? CRNA's make well over $100,000 a

  2. cost of books this expensive??

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

    I took Intro to nursing last fall at a 4 yr school and the cost of used books from the bookstore was about $450. I purchased all 7 books from amazon.com brand new for $250. We also had to purchase a...

  3. Nursing School - do I have a chance?

    MotivatedOne replied to lovemygirls's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wow...haven't posted since May...Anyway, an update: I've been accepted for this upcoming Fall semester at Guilford Tech. We start classes on the 17th. I'm both excited and nervous. You are not...

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

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

    Hello...I too had planned to get into the ABSN program but WSSU had other plans for me. To make a long story short, I wasn't accepted. Anyway, starting pay for nurses at Baptist is 21.05 and I want...

  5. Where do you get your textbooks for cheap? :)

    MotivatedOne replied to on eagles wings's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've used amazon and half.com. I bought all new nursing books from amazon.com last year and spent about $250 less than the cost of used books from the bookstore plus my shipping was free :-) Half.com...

  6. What type of Chemistry did you take?

    MotivatedOne replied to laughoutloud8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't remember the author of the textbook we used in my classes. I just remember the textbook having a blue cover. I'm sure that doesn't help. Good luck with your

    MotivatedOne replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    Technically this website is for nursing students as well as those considering nursing. Not just for people who are already

  8. my plan for nursing

    MotivatedOne replied to MINNY31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's interesting because some times I wish I had joined the military right after graduating from HS instead of going straight to college. At least then I could've used a GI bill instead of taking...

  9. GTCC Fall 2009

    MotivatedOne posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi...I was wondering if anyone wait listed has heard anything from GTCC. I think the deadline to have your immunizations record and physical turned in is the 5th but I'm just trying to figure out what...

  10. Entry into RN Practice: Associate Degree Nursing (ADN)

    MotivatedOne replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Ms. Vicky I'm sorry I probably should've read all of posts before posting my previous reply...You've covered my

  11. Entry into RN Practice: Associate Degree Nursing (ADN)

    MotivatedOne replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think that if they were to turn ADN programs into ABSN programs, there wouldn't be an initiative to apply to a traditional BSN program because you'd basically be getting the exact same degree but at...

  12. Entry into RN Practice: Associate Degree Nursing (ADN)

    MotivatedOne replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Great post Ms. Vicky...I do disagree with one point though. I work in a hospital that hires ADN nurses with experience as Assistant Unit Managers. The Unit Manager on my floor was the assistant unit...

  13. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    MotivatedOne replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you...I work in a hospital as a NA and a lot of time, the nurses have more time to sit behind a computer and chat on myspace/facebook, use the rest...

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hello CECE congrats on passing the NCLEX...I was wondering, have you had any luck finding a

  15. my plan for nursing

    MotivatedOne replied to MINNY31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like a good plan...My life is full of shoulda coulda woulda's because I was under the impression that you had to have a Bachelor's degree to make a "comfortable" living. I'm a second degree...

  16. What type of Chemistry did you take?

    MotivatedOne replied to laughoutloud8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took General, Organic and Biochemistry 1 and 2 at one school...Got a C in 1 and a D in 2 (at East Carolina University) The school I transfered to required a class called Chemistry for Health Science...

  17. GTCC Fall 2009

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm not sure how many people are accepted from the alternate list. I think they have more applicants for the fall semester than they do for spring. I would like to think that mostly older students...

  18. GTCC Fall 2009

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Same here...second degree student. I've already taken out about $38,000 in loans from both my previous degree and WSSU (pre-reqs) The combined max for both subsidized and unsubsidized loans for an...

  19. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    MotivatedOne replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    Regardless of what you do, you will always have someone to look down on you...Sad but true. Did you know that Nurses look down on NA's? I guess it really depends on where you work. The majority of...

  20. NC Programs

    MotivatedOne replied to tahillia's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hello Tacie...I don't think that a nursing program will factor in your GPA from NCSU since you didn't get a degree from there, you wouldn't be applying to an ABSN program if you were to apply to one...

  21. Starting NUR111 with clinicals this fall...

    MotivatedOne replied to 2boysforme's topic in General Students

    We have to wear all white scubs as well and the pants are straight leg with a high elastic waist...HIDEOUS. But I'm just happy to start nursing school...finally! Good

  22. CSU's not accepting new students for spring 2010?

    MotivatedOne replied to elfgirl's topic in California Nursing

    Didn't US citizens elect an actor as president? Ronald

  23. Will my poor GPA make it impossible to get into nursing school?

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

    $9.00/ hr for an LPN is just ridiculous...The starting pay at my hospital for an NA with no experience is $9.35/hr. Where exactly are you from? To the OP, I agree that nursing depts. look at your...

  24. Nursing as a 2nd Career

    MotivatedOne replied to Tinkwannabe1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too am pursuing nursing as a second career. I'll start an ADN program August 17th. So far, I've learned that we will have clinicals on either Thursday or a Friday this first semester. As far as my...

  25. RN - BSN, ADN????

    MotivatedOne replied to swellie24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My NA Instructor was an Associates degree nurse. When completing an RN-MSN program you're actually bypassing the bachelor's degree but taking the courses you'd need if you were getting a bachelor's...
