  1. 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

    Having worked doing research for several years, I know that most studies--particularly in the social sciences (for example, getting people's opinions about the most stressful positions) can be VERY...

  2. 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

    No offense, but I really think that it is ridiculous to compare the level of argument required in law to the "arguing" that you do in nursing. It isn't your job to argue as a nurse, rather, it is...

  3. Good place to look for Medical Jobs

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

    Yeah..I've had difficulty finding something like you describe (i.e. a 6-12 week type of program associated with a hosptial or other agency). The only CNA training I have come across is at the local...

  4. Good place to look for Medical Jobs

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey everyone! I'm interested in getting a job in the medical field in my area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC), but I don't really know where to look. I don't have a CNA or a nursing degree, but I'd...

  5. 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

    You'll get there. Just keep plugging away. Before you know it it will be over, and it will all be worth it! Kudos for sticking with a job you hate, because you have to, to support yourself and your...

  6. 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'm in NC. That's great...I'm happy for your brother...however, that's not at all what I discovered when doing research/talking to people regarding the field. Most high paying jobs require endless...

  7. trying to remain optimistic

    WantAccel.BSN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally understand how you feel. I went to law school for a year, and ultimately decided that it just wasn't for me (sooo many reasons, that I've had difficulty concisely explaining it). My mother...

  8. Duke Durham Regional Hospital ...need advise

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

    Living in Durham is really hit or miss, so be careful. The place might look good, but be in a really bad neighborhood (or right down the street from one). We found our duplex on Craiglist, and it has...

  9. Nursing Homes with CNA training in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hello all! As you can see from my username, I really want an accelerated BSN. I still need to take several pre-req. classes before I can apply, and am interested in working as a CNA in the meantime...

  10. Does your program require pre-reqs done before application too?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to grace8808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the programs I'm applying to is just started to require it (I think they begin in a semester or two). Right now they are saying that they just "give preference" to people that have the...

  11. In a Panic

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Spartan05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No..I totally understand the anxiety. I think it comes with the territory of being a little older (you're 26...I'm 25), and (presumably) having already tried out another field (or maybe more than one)...

  12. Soooo Tired Of Studying?

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

    Wow. This sounds alot like my story. Got a degree in '04 as well (although in Psychology). Had I given myself enough time to really think (I was working full-time and going to school full-time, and...

  13. Spring pre-req's!!

    WantAccel.BSN replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the difference is all in the type of job you have. When I was getting my first degree, I worked several different jobs. However, I could study at practically all of them for large portions of...

  14. Poll: Where are you applying?

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

    That sounds like a great program. Unfortunately, I'm in Durham, making the drive to Greenville over a hundred miles, and just shy of 2 hours--I think the communte would be a little much. Relocating...

  15. Quick Question About A&p

    WantAccel.BSN replied to 987!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No...I mean when you actually REGISTER for the class, you don't know what teacher you are registering

  16. Poll: Where are you applying?

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

    I totally get that. I think we're just at a point in our lives now (being in our mid 20s), where we have had the chance to figure our what is really important to us (and, in so doing, have discovered...

  17. Poll: Where are you applying?

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

    Yup. Those were my thoughts (almost exactly) and the reasons that I left law school after a year--although most of my family doesn't really get that, and it sucks to feel like a quitter, regardless of...

  18. Do You Need Help Preparing For The Teas?

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

    Oh god. Math without a calculator?!? I am totally screwed. Better plan on trying to get into the other program that doesn't require the

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

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

    Does anyone know of any nursing homes that offer CNA training in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, or where I could get info. on which nursing homes do this? Thanks so much for the great

  20. Poll: Where are you applying?

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

    Hey guys- I'm in NC too, and am really only looking at 2 program (UNC ABSN and WCU's new ABSN program). I made my fiancee move down to this area (Durham/Chapel Hill) a year and a half ago from...

  21. Do You Need Help Preparing For The Teas?

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

    oh okay. what kind of science was it that you felt was particularly difficult? i had thought there was a site with practice tests based on the post i quoted ("i also know a website where you can take...

  22. Do You Need Help Preparing For The Teas?

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

    Please share the site! There are two accelerate programs that I want to apply to--one requires the TEAS, one doesn't. Unfortunately, the program I would rather attend requires it. Alas, I've always...

  23. Quick Question About A&p

    WantAccel.BSN replied to 987!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah...unfortunately Durham Tech., here in NC, doesn't list the prof. when they list the class...I think this is probably a deliberate thing, although I've never been to a school before that does...

  24. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    WantAccel.BSN replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just out of curiosity, why do you believe the profession isn't "as stable as some may

  25. Quick Question About A&p

    WantAccel.BSN replied to 987!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also working FT and need to take my pre-reqs for nursing. I already have a bachelor's in another field, and would be entering into an accelerated BSN program (god willing). My job is very...
