I graduated nursing school on a Friday and interviewed for a dialysis job the following Monday and got the job. I am a hemodialysis RN in a chronic clinic. With all the training I have been given I feel perfectly fine not having the med-surg experien...

I got a job in a dialysis clinic and I graduated with my ADN two weeks ago. I heard that Brookwood said they are not hiring anymore new grads until September and I do believe all the other Birmingham hospitals have hired most of the new grads they a...

I've applied EVERYWHERE in central alabama. And I do mean EVERYWHERE. I've had one interview and did not get the job. I hope it gets better soon!!! It stresses me out!

If where you are is anything like my state, you would take the job and continue to look for your "dream" job. I have a job interview Monday at a hospital 1 1/2 hours away from my home with other hospitals 30 minutes from my home, but the closer hospi...

thanks to everyone for the info!

I have a 3.25 GPA. Do you think I would have trouble getting into a Master's program with this GPA?

I would be applying to all the major university in Alabama. I want my CRNP in family practice. Thanks for the info!

I've heard through the grapevine that some of the faculty at our school made special efforts for the people that failed this summer so that those people would pass. Meaning they dropped some questions off the final just for the people who failed to h...

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I appreciate it! I, personally, only know this to be rumors, however, others say they have proof. I am not the one going to the president, but agree that if it is true, then they should do for everyone. Thanks...

I graduated ten years ago from high school and started to go to nursing school two times before it finally all fell into place. I was married and had a daughter before nursing school. Yes, it is competitive. Yes, it takes a lot of hard work. But ...

I feel the same way. I am in the last two weeks of my 3rd semester and although I have made good grades so far....I worked my booty off to get them. It is hard. College is hard. But if you are motivated at whatever you want out of life, then no matte...

Congrats to those who got in and for those who didn't, keep your head up. They had a lower amount of spaces this year I believe because of the economy. Don't give up!!! I would be glad to help you guys in any way. I believe our class will be talking ...

no, no iron stomachs here....I now and will forever hate feces, vomit, blood everywhere and mucous. It's something you get used to dealing with and I can talk about anything without getting grossed out, but when you are there in that situation, you c...

Stay focused!! If this is what you want out of life, then don't think if you don't get in at cacc that it's over....because you can apply to several other schools or if cacc is ur only option, then retake some classes and bring up those points. I t...

I heard there were over 700 applicants and only 50 got accepted. Good Luck Girls!!!!

did u guys hear anything yet?

Cooper1 is my BFF so she filled you in up above here. You guys should hear something soon. We will be glad to answer any of your questions. And hopefully we will meet you at orientation. Again, Good Luck!!!!

I am in my third semester at CACC. I got my acceptance letter last summer around the 4th of July, so hopefully you guys will hear something soon. I had 196 out of 200 points, but I think that they cut the points off in the 150's. Oh yeah, I'm in t...

I am in the third semester at CACC. I think with 195 points you should get in. I think I spent like $2000 or so the first semester because you gotta buy everything, i.e. stethoscope, Nursing Kit, books, etc. The best advice I can give you is: sit in...

at my school that kind of stuff didn't matter....just your grades, your GPA and stuff like that!!!!!!!!

I would say go for the RN. It's only two extra semesters and it will be a greater benefit all around. Hopefully by the time you graduate, the economy will be back on it's feet a little and jobs will be more readily available. It's always good to rese...

I took A&P II and Micro together and made A's in both classes. Believe it or not, it actually helped taking them together. You can do it if you really want to. Good Luck!!

Holy cow....I took my Fluids and Electroytes test today and it was sooooooooooooooooo hard!! I passed, but most of the class didn't. What did you make and how did your class do on it?

glad to hear your class did well.

I would also say A. It makes the most sense to me!
