  1. Applying to ABSN at UNC advice

    WantAccel.BSN replied to sydneydigsby's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    This isn't entirely accurate. NC Central University (in Durham), according to their website, now has an accelerated

  2. Anyone else ready to tell their present job to kick rocks?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in a situation somewhat similar to this. There is no great way to handle it, unfortunately. No employer is going to like the idea of you leaving, but you also don't want to burn your bridges...

  3. Need Honest Opinion -- Would You Recommend Nursing?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I appreciate your honest feedback. I was wondering if you could tell me if they require you to clock out when your shift has technically ended, or if you get paid for the extra time you are...

  4. Admission essay

    WantAccel.BSN replied to nursefor2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm willing to read it. I always liked editing other people's papers in English class, strange as that may

  5. Highest Paid Area, All Things Considered

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is mainly just out of curiosity, because I have no intention of moving anytime soon and am certainly not trying to get into nursing just to bow to the almighty dollar, but I was wondering if...

  6. Nursing Schools in NC

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kerodeck's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks!! That is great information. I am scheduled to go to an information session in April, and am looking forward to that. Did they give you all of that information about the traditional program...

  7. Nursing Schools in NC

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kerodeck's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think I've already been in touch with the program director in my attempts to clarify some course equivalency issues, but when you say you suggest I should get in touch with her, what exactly do you...

  8. Nursing Schools in NC

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kerodeck's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Actually, I think you do need Organic Chem. From their website: "4. Completion of the following prerequisite courses with a grade of 'C' or above.* Prerequisites taken at another college or university...

  9. Nursing Schools in NC

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kerodeck's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes, that's the plan. I'm worried about the TEAS and Organic Chemistry though! UNC is definitely easier as far as pre-reqs. are concerned. What about

  10. Does nursing have to be your "calling" for you to be a great nurse?

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a second degree/second career student. I got my bachelor's in psych. and had intended on going to law school. I did, and I hated it. Hated the people, hated the aggressiveness. After a year, I...

  11. Feeling very overwhelmed and scared

    WantAccel.BSN replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trust me, "ugg!" is definitely my sentiment about it too, because that's the way I have been taking my pre-reqs for the last 2 1/2 semesters. However, doing it that way keeps me sane. Given my...

  12. Do I honestly have any chance of getting into UNC or Duke nursing schools?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Tony Stark's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Honestly, I'm not sure how competitive you would be for UNC's ABSN program. I don't tell you this to discourage you, but only to be honest based on the research I have done and the people I have...

  13. Feeling very overwhelmed and scared

    WantAccel.BSN replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest just trying one class. If you don't want to drop one this semester because of cost issues, then maybe next semester enroll in only 1. You probably just need a little break, and a teeny...

  14. Are there any CNA jobs with high pay rates?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to nlw59bba's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    But you aren't in NC,

  15. Nursing Truths: They don't want you to know about!

    WantAccel.BSN replied to A_Nurse_Student's topic in General Nursing

    hmmm...do you mind sharing what you did before that was so stressful? thanks for the

  16. Nursing Truths: They don't want you to know about!

    WantAccel.BSN replied to A_Nurse_Student's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this is just me, but I don't find this very helpful. I think the OP is looking for a justification--for some reasons you might feel this way. This is not to say that your position isn't totally...

  17. Chemistry Study Group for Spring 2009

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I need some help about a question regarding variably valent metals in compounds. The question is "Write the names of the following compounds in the blanks provided." The formula I'm struggling with is...

  18. When should I take Chemistry?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. If it has been awhile since you have been exposed to science and math, it isn't going to be a walk in the park. Chem. especially, if math was never your strong suit. I can think of...

  19. Best job for professional w/ business degree wanting to enter nursing?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to heelhook80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. Although, interestingly enough, some jobs require you to have a degree of some sort, even if it isn't related to the job itself. My last two jobs have been that way. I think they just want to...

  20. When should I take Chemistry?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the OP: I'm also working FT, and am only able to manage taking one class at a time with my schedule. But then again, I really would not be satisfied with anything less than an "A." I took A&P...

  21. I feel like I will never get there.

    WantAccel.BSN replied to texasRN_14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you certain you can't get a CNA position? I know there are a lot of home health agencies, at least where I live, that have a ton of openings for weekend and evening work, with hours you can choose...

  22. Anyone else ready to tell their present job to kick rocks?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely feel this way, and have posted about it before. Of course, there are some benefits to my position--I like most of my coworkers quite a bit, I have a very flexible schedule, and I make a...

  23. Nursing Schools in NC

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kerodeck's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you are near Asheville, Western Carolina University, in Cullowhee, has a nursing program. Not sure if you knew about that one... Good

  24. Chemistry Study Group for Spring 2009

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got the first half of my first test back (yes, this professor is a little nuts....all the tests count as one test except for this one, which is given in two parts, two weeks apart...whatever...). I...

  25. How much did you earn your first year?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to whitecats's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello WeebabyRN. I am curious if you would mind sharing which hospital you are at. I am also in NC, and am trying to gather information. Certainly work environment should be factored in to any...
