I go to Nash CC in Rocky Mount. It's about 40 min east of Raleigh. I actually was at UNCW my first year out of high school, then came back home and started taking classes at NCC. It took me one year to get in, because i decided to finish all of my pre-req's before getting into the program (which i would recommend to anyone). It helped not only in lightening my course load, but the way Nash determines who gets in is on a points system. The more pre-req's you have completed the more points are added to your total score, which equals a better chance of getting in. I was accepted on my first try. Try and keep your great GPA :nuke: And I had to take the TEAS which was sort of like an entrance exam. It covered math, science, and reading/grammar. What you scored on the exam was added to your total score. I'm not sure if other schools require the TEAS or something similar.

hi there! As far as nursing schools in NC, there are a lot to choose from. If you are looking for an ADN program, there are tons. You could go to the NC Board of Nursing website and they have a list of every accredited nursing school (both 2 year and 4 year schools) in NC. Here is the website. www.ncbon.com If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Good luck!! :wink2:

Yeah...I was wondering if it was hard to get onto peds as a new grad. We have to complete a preceptorship our last semester of school, and (finger's crossed) hopefully I can get a spot at WakeMed on the peds floor, where we have to complete a certain number of hours with a RN. We'll see I guess! When do you think is the best time to apply? I know spots fill up early. I called HR and the lady I talked to said around March or April for May grads. I was thinking of applying earlier than that though..

Kimmie, Hi. It looks like you started at WakeMed in the children's ED back in Jan. I was wondering how it was going. I am in nursing school right now, graduate in May and I am very interested in WakeMed. Looking into the peds floor right now.. I would love to get some input from a fairly new employee. Thanks a lot!
