I agree, I always say thank you after the end of my shift. I also make sure that I thank the CNA's for all their wisdom during the day. It is important to remember that respect is important and really makes people feel better!

That is a fantastic letter. You are so blessed to have such an optimist outlook and a wonderful son to share that with. You are the true valitorian of life!!

I am done with my pre-rec's and I have applied to GTCC. Has anyone graduated from there and if so what do you think? Also if anyone graduated from any of the neighboring schools, how are they? TIA and I look forward to hearing from you!!

I got in with a score in the mid fifties. When the topic came up our first semester the lowest score was 52 but take that with a grain of salt. Good luck and apply, you never know what will happen.

I started this clinicals and need help with the lab results. I was wondering if anyone had a book that might tell me not only what the norms are but what it might mean if the results were elevated or low. I am really struggling on what each out of ...

Thank you so very much! As you can tell I am suffering from a huge lack of sleep by reading my first post. I am in my first month of clinicals and I am feeling so out of sorts. I will check a med surg book that I got at a yard sale and see if it i...

I was trying (ie struggling) with my Functional Health Patterns and I wanted a book or quick reference that allowed me to get an idea of what a high CBC values or BUN or Creatinine would mean in the long run to the patient. I can figure out what the...

Your welcome. I graduated for Arizona State back in 1994 so I had to retake all the classes. It took me about eighteen months. It wasn't too bad but I was a little miffed about taking some of them. I am done with all my pre reqs so I only have to...

I am starting the program in January and I got the same run around. I have five kids so for me it was essential to know when I would be going to class and doing clinicals, so I asked around campus (yes, I am sure I looked crazy) until I found someon...

I couldn't agree more!! I felt the same way!

I thought that A&P was difficult only because of all of the memorization. My teacher also marked any answer wrong if it was mis-spelled and I am a terrible speller so it made it so very hard. I got an A and I took it over the summer but I spent...

This was a tough one for me too! My local accelerated BSN program was 3 semesters at 7800.00 per semester. My local community college is 580.00 for 5 semesters. I have five kids and don't work(so no loss of income) and I couldn't decide what to do...

I was wondering if you guys thought there were any negatives in being accepted into the Spring start over the Fall start? I was thinking that by the time we graduate some of the new grad programs are already full at the hospital or the externships a...

I live outside of Greensboro NC. I really want to work nights weekends in a hospital, I don't want to work at a LTC facility. I also thought doing an externship would be the best bet for me. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. I have a f...

Thanks very much for your replies! I honestly didn't think of the money issue because I am a stay at home and don't make money now, but I certainly will be paying for more now than I have in the past. I know fitting in the physical and such is hard...

Congratulations Laura!! I just got into GTCC in Jamestown to start this January. I am so excited! Good luck!!

That is so very kind. Thank you very, very much. I will take your advice to heart and if I have any questions I will be sure to PM you. Thanks again!!!!

That is wonderful news!! I got my acceptance letter today for the evening/weekend starting in January. Thank you very, very much for responding! I am so super duper excited!!

Hi, I was hoping (and praying) that I will be accepted into my nursing program in the spring and I was wondering what you guys thought. After having my first daughter I have wanted to become a Labor and Delivery nurse and I want to increase my likeli...

I am hoping to get into GTCC in the spring but I went and talked to the people over at Forsyth Tech. They said that they took the composite score. Something you might want to consider is that they said they take Teas scores from other schools so ma...
