  1. Elastic or Drawstring....How do you keep your pants up?

    MotivatedOne replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wear the flare leg cherokee pants that are drawstring in the front and elastic in the back and I'm constantly flashing pts, family members and coworkers. Whenever I bend down to empty a foley or...

  2. Anyone failed a clinical & had to switch programs in N. CA ? ?

    MotivatedOne replied to biltz's topic in General Students

    I was wondering, have you considered reapplying for the program you were dropped from? At least then, you could just start where you left off instead of having to retake all of those classes all over...

  3. Highly motivated pre-nursing now getting discouraged

    MotivatedOne replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    NC Phoenix, I can totally relate! I've been trying to get into nursing school since 2006. Like 3-4 months ago I seriously felt like giving up! I was so discouraged. After being rejected by two schools...

  4. My Introduction

    MotivatedOne replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'll start at GTCC this Fall... So excited!!! Thank goodness they have an alternate list! My orientation is this Friday, can't wait to see what the program entails! Good

  5. My Introduction

    MotivatedOne replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I would apply before and after completing the pre-req's. All they can do is tell you no, but at least you'll know what they expect. If I'm not mistaken you're required to submit your transcripts from...

  6. Am I too old??

    MotivatedOne replied to kimbo11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, you are never too old! When I first started college back in 01, there was a 53 yr old woman in my general chemistry class. I too have a Bachelor's degree but I opted to go for my ADN...

  7. I start my prereqs today...

    MotivatedOne replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know...I used to say my degree was useless but I have a feeling that someday I'll put it to good use...Only time will tell. Now that you're an older more mature student I'm sure you'll do great!...

  8. Please tell me if this schedule is too much

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

    Sounds very reasonable... I was in class from 8am-4:45pm, had a break from 4:45-6:30pm, then worked from 6:30 pm to 7am and still ended up with a 3.0 GPA for that semester. Was taking microbiology,...

  9. Suggestions appreciated :)

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

    Well I don't know much about NYC but I work as an NA in NC in a hospital...one of the largest in the state! Anyway, I currently work on all female unit. Most pediatric units want you to be a least a...

  10. Got 75 ?'s but answered the last ? WRONG... DID I fail or pass??

    MotivatedOne replied to sagemm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!!

  11. FAINTING...what made you drop?

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

    I can't say that I've fainted before but what makes me cringe is seeing nurses dig in a pt's vein when trying to start an IV. C-diff smelling feces makes me want to puke. But I haven't. But like the...

  12. Working With An AA Degree While In RN-BSN Program??

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

    I think it's possible especially if the RN-BSN degree program is online. I found a campus based RN-BSN degree progam that meets only once a week so even that would be doable. Most hospitals have 12...

  13. need some advice about nursing school!

    MotivatedOne replied to sunnysteph87's topic in General Students

    I say finish school while completing your pre-req's, then apply to an ADN or BSN program. Once you pass your NA exams, apply to either hospitals, or LTC's that offer tuition reimbursement programs...

  14. What TEAS score does your school require?

    MotivatedOne replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the school I was accepted to the minimum composite score is a 75...(I scored a 76.8) At another school at least a 40 on each section. Both only allow two attempts and you have to wait at least 8...

  15. Will I ever be accepted?!??!!?!?!?!!!?

    MotivatedOne replied to want to do good 86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can totally relate...I was in the same predicament up until about 2 months ago. I graduated with a 2.88 undergrad GPA. I have 5 F's and on my transcript. I grade replaced 2 of those classes before...

  16. who was not a good student before choosing nursing?

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

    I tried to edit my initial reply but I waited too long...To the OP, if I offended you in anyway, I'm terribly sorry. I wanted to take a few things out and add that...Whether or not you're a "good"...

  17. NCCU's program

    MotivatedOne replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well I don't know much about Central...I didn't even know they had an ABSN program until recently. I think they just started it this year. I do know that according to the NLNAC's (National League for...

  18. who was not a good student before choosing nursing?

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

    I too am one of those so called not so good students who chose nursing as a career. First, it has nothing to do with my self confidence. I'm very confident that if I would apply myself I could be a...

  19. wanting to go into nursing school...

    MotivatedOne replied to sami86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. I am so EXcited !! ACCEPTED

    MotivatedOne replied to curlylights06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it hard to believe that you don't have a life while in nursing school. I personally know people who were still able to party and work while in nursing school. They graduated on time and past...

  22. I am so EXcited !! ACCEPTED

    MotivatedOne replied to curlylights06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can answer this question seeing as how I was accepted from an alternate list. Application deadline was Feb 10th I believe...I got my alternate list letter stating my alternate number sometime in...

  23. Will it matter that I have a non-nursing B.S.?

    MotivatedOne replied to maggie24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The majority of assistant unit managers at my hospital have ADN's. I too am in somewhat of the same situation. I have a bachelor's degree in a non nursing field and after being rejected by one school...

  24. Nursing Tuition off the Chain!! Need Help!!

    MotivatedOne replied to JoI8815's topic in General Students

    It doesn't specify experience as a BSN RN. Either way, there are still schools that offer RN-MSN degree programs. Granted it may take you an extra semester to get your MSN degree but if you take the...
