  1. WCU Accelerated Program

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Was wondering if anyone knew anything about Western's new accelerated program. I think this is only its second cycle, and the pre. reqs. would take me about twice as long to complete as what I need to...

  3. 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

    Thanks for the info. I'm taking A&P I right now, and then will need A&P II and Micro. (for one program). For the other program I'll also need 2 semesters of chemistry. I'm not familiar with...

  4. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Ronkie- Where are you in school at? It so happens that I have a total of five exams and just got my first exam grade back today as well, which led me to wonder. Are you working full time as well as...

  5. Can anyone suggest ideas for volunteering?

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

    No joke! I had to submit a lengthy application, and had to get a couple of people that I know to submit written references. Then, I had to go in for what was, more or less, a formal interview....

  6. I can't get a job!

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

    I don't know if a commute is doable or not, but maybe you could make the drive to Durham and work at Duke. It isn't a bad drive..a little over a half hour. Good

  7. Can anyone suggest ideas for volunteering?

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

    That's funny...it's the exact same at Duke where I'm volunteering in the ER. NOTHING TO DO!!! Even with getting people water and blankets to make them more comfortable, you are technically supposed to...

  8. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Hey guys. I'm really struggling with the concept of Osmotic Pressure. We have it defined as "the amount of hydrostatic pressure required to stop osmosis." The teacher said that "osmosis slows down due...

  9. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    I hear you on that one! It seems that many of my classmates have already had chem., but I didn't need it for one of the programs I'm applying to (just need A&P1 and 2 and Micro.), so I didn't want...

  10. Share why your current job sucks and what you hope will be different in nursing!

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So..why does your current job suck and what do you hope will be different about nursing? I'll go first. I got a degree in Psychology, and worked in research for 2 years, went to law school for a year,...

  11. How'd you do it??

    WantAccel.BSN replied to jacq2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the same issue. There are two *local* (I say local, but they are four hours apart, drive-time) accelerated programs that I'm interested in. One program requires that I complete 3 additional...

  12. gpa to get into nursing school?

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

    I also have a Psych degree (a BA, though, not a BS), and am interested in an accelerated program. Had you already taken your pre-reqs. during the course of getting your first degree? If not, how did...

  13. Pre-Nursing Students & Volunteer Work

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

    I currently volunteer in the local hospital emergency room. It isn't much in terms of a commitment... just a couple hours a week. Personally, I don't really care for it because I pretty much do...

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

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

    For me, the CNA gig was something I was going to try to pursue to support myself while going after my RN...but thanks, I

  15. Share why your current job sucks and what you hope will be different in nursing!

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

    I still wish you would tell us what you dislike so much about your job, why you don't change careers, and what, if anything, you think can be done to make yourself more satisfied. Are there particular...

  16. Share why your current job sucks and what you hope will be different in nursing!

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

    Your statement: I posted in this thread after reading the rediculous statement that "other fields are so much less stressful than nursing." I just had to comment after reading that. I never said that...

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

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

    Do you happen to know if any of those facilities provide CNA training? I'm running into a bit of a problem in terms of getting the CNA certification...I want to start taking my pre-reqs. for the...

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

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

    Would you mind sharing which facility it is that you are working at? Also, do you know of any facilities in the area that will provide CNA training to new hires? Thanks for your help! Merry

  19. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    WantAccel.BSN replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand! I was in law school for a year at a institution considered to be somewhat prestigious--John Edwards completed his legal education there, but, as an aside, I think the...

  20. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    WantAccel.BSN replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't quite a lawyer, but was well on my way to being one. I completed 1/3rd of my legal education, and decided to quit while I was still ahead. Now I'm using my BA in Psych. doing case...

  21. Binder or notebooks?

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

    When I was in school for my BA, I had a small folder and a notebook for each class (the folder was for handouts). I would date the handouts and make reference to them in my notebook (in my class notes...

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

    Really? That is interesting...never heard that before. But if it's true, that is awesome

  23. Question about BSN vs RN

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Jenpea71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA in Psychology, and a year of law school. I'm opting for the Accelerated BSN (unless I don't get in, at which point I guess I'll reevaluate my options) because I am only 3 pre-reqs. shy of...
