Has anyone worked at this hospital? How is the work environment? Do you know the starting pay for new grads? Thanks.

Thank you for the information. I.shall.be congratulations o your new job and good luck. Do you know how much they pay for shift differentials?

I am in nursing school and I work full-time. I work weekends and some nights during the week. I always spend all my spare time studying. When I work over night, I study for like 4 hours at work. It is not easy but it is doable. I am actually doing be...

I just saw this post. I am very saddened by the news. She was very helpful. MHSRIP.

This is a thread for students who were accepted into the Fall 2009 program. I started this, so that we could count down till school starts and help each other with places where we can get cheaper school supplies etc.

Did you take the state exam? How was it?

I had elastic stocking, making occupied bed, feeding and turning on the side for the class final. For the state, I had turning on the side, weight, rom excercise for the arm and washing feet.

I am sorry to hear that. The 100 question test is just like the tests that she gave in class. If you go through your notes you will be fine. With the skills, I went through them every single day. Always remember that if you are doing a skill that inv...

Yes I completed the program. We had classes for four weeks and the fifth week we had clinicals at a nursing home. After that you had to pass a skills check off before sitting for the state exam. As soon as you pass the skills check off, then you pay ...

Has anyone been in the first class of a nursing prorgram? How was your experience? Was the school organized? Pros and Cons?

I purchased a Littmann II Classic and it is way better than the cheaper stethoscopes at the uniform stores. It would be a great investment.

Are you nervous about being in the very first class?

I appreciate your response Charlie2410. I have a big decision to make, I will go to the school and find out more information about the new program. West central does not certify any loans and so the only option would be applying for a private loan. I...

I have been accepted into two ADN programs and I am confused. The first nursing program that I was accepted into is an hour away from my home and I already stated that I would attend this school. I have already purchased books and uniforms, which I c...

Thank you very muc. I got my acceptance letter on Saturday. I was really surprised because I thought the program had been pushed back again. The letter stated that the program starts in January and I have until August 15th to decide.

Thank you very much for your responses. I am leaning towards the school thats closer. @Dallas, I have to choose between West Central Tech and Chattahoochee Tech.

Thank you for your response.

The program takes 5 weeks. I am not sure if they have PCT. Also the prices on the internet are higher than what I paid. I took the evening class which is four days from 6-11 pm. The morning class is for three days.

I am taking my cna class at Elite Medical Training Center in Marietta. The instructor is excellent, she is an RN and the fees are reasonable compared to the other schools in the area.

Hello MyDream 2011, I think I might get the new balance walking shoes, the price is more reasonable compared to the nursing shoes. I just completed all my immunizations and titers today...phew! I have been looking at rolling bags in walmart, and I s...

I started a thread under the general nursing student section, "West Central Technical Fall 2009 Students." We can share ideas on where to get cheap school supplies, etc. 61 days to go...yay

Congratulations on your aceptance to the LPN program! I was accepted to the RN program and we had to purchase uniforms which the school selected through Meridys. The uniforms have a school patch. If you were just accepted, they will probably send you...

Are there any West Central Tech students on this site? I wanted to find out what your GPA and NLN scores were, when you entered the prgram. I have a 3.2 GPA and an NLN score of 94. Am I competitive enough? How is the program? Do you like it? Thanks i...

Janis, The newer edition also comes with a CD which I used to prepare for the exam. I timed myself on the computer and this helped me a lot. Good Luck!
