  1. CNA Testing - Durham. Good Test Site!

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

    Can you actually complete the class there, or just take the test? Also, what is their contact info.? I tried to look it up online but couldn't find it. Thanks for the

  2. Do you think there are any negitives to getting accepted to the Spring start program?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to mom25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just curious, are you doing the ABSN program at UNC? I live in Durham, NC, and that is one of two programs I am interested

  3. Microbiology Hybrid or Traditional Course?

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm considering taking Microbiology as a Hybrid course through our local community college (I assume the lab is the part you come in for, but I won't know for sure until I meet with the advisor). I've...

  4. How do you know where you belong?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to RN2B73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "...some people like a relatively stable environment (not pt wise, but in what they deal with) others like a more unstable/ever changing environment.. and that can lead some to ER/ICU or something...

  5. Can the teacher fail all of us???

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so we just had our first lecture and lab exam in A&P II. I got a pretty decent grade on the lecture exam (92), but haven't gotten the lab exam back yet, and didn't feel as good about that...

  6. Can the teacher fail all of us???

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

    Nope. No choice of instructors. In fact, the school won't list which instructor is teaching what course---you don't know until you show up the first day. This school is also so (insert explitive here)...

  7. Nursing as a Second Degree

    WantAccel.BSN replied to cleo724's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a degree in psych, but I'm working in social work and totally feel your pain about wanting to get out of the field. My head is literally spinning from the day I had today. Crisis after crisis...

  8. Bipolar Disorder and Nursing in NC

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

    That might be the examination that I've read about, but I've very clearly read, on several school's websites, that you have to be deemed mentally and physically able to practice. To get more specific...

  9. Bipolar Disorder and Nursing in NC

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

    From what I've read, it appears you are required to undergo some sort of examination pertaining to your "fitness" to practice in the field. They apparently evaluate both your physical and mental...

  10. Contract with UNC?

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

    Is anyone comfortable sharing exactly how much money was offered? Also, to anyone that has been/is in the ABSN program at UNC, can you comment on how difficult the program has

  11. Is an Acclerated BSN really the right thing for me?

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I was in my A&PII lab today, and a girl told me that she heard that "a lot of people drop out" of the Accelerated BSN program that I'm interested in. I guess as long as I become a nurse, I'm a...

  12. Applying to Accelerated Program Dilemma

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

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate your support. I'm only able to take one class at a time with my current job (I'm a social worker). I just don't have the time to devote to anything more than that. I...

  13. Applying to Accelerated Program Dilemma

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My top-choice program allows you to apply after you complete two of the science pre. req. courses, but you also have to submit a plan for completion of the courses you still need. After next semester,...

  14. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow Absolutely! Chill out! That was not a statement that should have warranted that kind of freak out

  15. Feeling Much More Optomistic Today!!

    WantAccel.BSN replied to 1969's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I'm in the social work field. Just know that you really either: (1) work for Child Protective Services (2) become a therapist or (3) get one of the few jobs that doesn't...

  16. For those of you who have gone back to school or changed careers, I need encouragemen

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand what you mean about having a husband in a job where he makes easy money, but doesn't have to do much. My husband is a fine dining waiter, and makes around $45k/year. He generally "works"...

  17. Asheville NC what is it like?

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

    I'm from Asheville, although I'm in Durham now. Leaving Asheville has made me appreciate it even more....although I'm reluctant to say that...so many people have moved to the area recently that I feel...

  18. I think we need a second degree student section...

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

    I agree that an additional forum would be appropriate, and appreciated. Okay, this financial aid thing has me concerned. I have a pretty substantial debt from the year I spent in law school (and it...

  19. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Hey guys. Haven't had much time lately, so haven't posted in a LONG while. With working full-time as a social worker--oh so very demanding--taking this class, and occasionally trying to take care of...

  20. UNC Chapel Hill applicants

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

    Thanks for the suggestions. I actually worked in an MR/DD residential facility for several years, and then one-on-one with an autistic teenager. I was hoping to do something that was a bit different...

  21. UNC Chapel Hill applicants

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

    Reading all of this is making me really nervous! I'm still a ways away from applying, but I feel like maybe I'm not doing enough volunteer work to get into UNC (it seems like there is a heavy emphasis...

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

    So, did you get

  23. I feel like its going to be FOREVER before I become a nurse

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all- I'm feeling a little discouraged right now. I have three classes that I need to take before being eligible for a local accelerated BSN program (I'm in the midst of the first one right now). I...

  24. I feel like its going to be FOREVER before I become a nurse

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

    Yeah..that really does sound like me. In my original post, I forgot to mention that I was in law school for a year, so I feel you on the "up to [your] ears in loans" thing (part of the financial...

  25. Medication Aides

    WantAccel.BSN replied to M&MRN2005's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Several years ago, I worked at an MR/DD facility in the Western part of the state. I passed meds. there at 18 years old, fresh out of high school, including g-tube medications and scheduled...
