I currently extern at CAMC General Division. I make 10.06/hour, 1.25 more for nights and weekends. You can apply starting in February. Interviews are in April & you usually start orientation in May which is about 2 weeks long. Good luck!

I am in a BSN program and 79.5 and below is failing! I can say this because I am the class representative that our entire class is struggling with the grading scale. Good luck

Whoooo....Slow down a minute. Mountain State is wonderful. I am currently in their nursing program and it is wondeful. The instructors are very caring & compassionate & will try to help you in anyway possible. As far as tuition goes I did not do my pre-reqs there because it is pricey so I did them at Bluefield State. I am full time at Mtn. State and after my books and tuition this semester just for nursing classes was $4300 this fall semester. I would recommend Mtn State nursing & their passing rate for the 2008 class was I know everyone but 2 so I think thats pretty good. Good luck!

This is just student insurance made available to us through our nursing program. The clinical sites just want you to have insurance. So I think whether it be through your spouses work or you purchase it privately either will be ok.

I am taking summer a few summer classes now and I couldnt believe the price of books! The nursing books are at least 3 times as much as my prereq books were. I think I am having a yard sale next weekend to see if I can get some money out of that to help pay for all the expenses.

I just had my meeting with my advisor about the prices of my nursing uniforms and I just cant believe what I heard. The price list goes something a little like this: 1 top, 1 bottom, 1 jacket, 2 polo shirts $200.00 including monogram A background check $26 but $13 more for every other county you've lived in in the past 7yrs. School required stethoscope $50 Shoes at least $50 if not more. No clogs Nursing packet you must buy $50 Physical, TB shot, Hepatitis Shot, and Dental Exam at least $150:grn: You have to pay a $150 seat fee just to hold your seat in the nursing program!! Gas money for 1 semester......6 arms and 10 legs Clinical sites require you to have health insurance before you are allowed on site and you have to pay 4months at a time $100 So as I was writing all of this down she finally stops and says "Oh yeah and by the way all of this has to be payed for by August 1st !!!!!" :eek: I was like why didnt you tell me this back in April when I got my acceptance letter to the program so I could have been saving money! I think they should tell nursing students this sooner so maybe we could organize fundraisers to help pay for all of this. I cant find anyone with used uniforms so I guess I will just go in debt for nursing school
